Yes, RallyUp does take a percentage of donations, but the specifics depend on the pricing plan you choose:

“Free” plan (donor tipping enable): is not really free as you’ll still be charged standard payment processing fees (up to 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction)
Unlimited plan: RallyUp charges a platform fee of 7.5% on the total amount raised
Custom plan: RallyUp offers custom pricing plans with a discounted platform fee. This involves negotiating the fee based on the organization’s specific requirements and fundraising activities

No, RallyUp offers a "Free” plan option allowing organizations to use their platform without paying a platform fee, but you’ll still be charged standard payment processing fees (up to 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction)
