Questions nonprofits ask when choosing between Zeffy and Qgiv

What is the difference between Qgiv and Zeffy?

Zeffy is all-in-one and free: donations, events, auctions, raffles, peer-to-peer, a store and memberships, with a donor CRM built in. Qgiv, now called Bloomerang Fundraising, is a fundraising add-on: it costs from $40/month and can only be bought with Bloomerang CRM, from $125/month, both billed annually. Bloomerang Payments also takes 3.95% + $0.30 on every card gift, and Qgiv has no raffle product.

What is Qgiv, and is it now Bloomerang Fundraising?

Yes. Qgiv is now Bloomerang Fundraising, part of Bloomerang's Giving Platform. Bloomerang calls it "formerly Qgiv": the same auction, event, peer-to-peer, text fundraising and donation form tools under a new name, and qgiv.com now sends its product pages to bloomerang.com. The suite is sold with Bloomerang CRM, which has its own comparison: see Bloomerang vs Zeffy.

How much does Qgiv cost?

Qgiv can't be bought on its own. It costs from $40/month and is only sold with Bloomerang CRM, from $125/month, both billed annually.

Together, the two starting prices come to $165 a month, or $1,980 a year, before processing. Zeffy has no subscription and no processing fee: see how Zeffy is free. Source: bloomerang.com, October 2026.

What are Qgiv's processing fees?

Qgiv processes gifts through Bloomerang Payments, built on Stripe. Your nonprofit pays these rates:

Visa, Mastercard and Discover: 3.95% + $0.30.
Amex: 4.95% + $0.30.
ACH: 1.95% + $0.95, plus $0.50 on the first eCheck each month.
PayPal: 1.95%, plus PayPal's fees.
Peer-to-peer: 1% more per gift.
Another processor: 1.95% to Bloomerang, plus that processor's fees.

A $100 card gift leaves your nonprofit $95.75, or $94.75 on peer-to-peer. GiftAssist asks donors to add the fee to their gift, and it is preselected by default on new donation and peer-to-peer forms. On Zeffy, the same $100 gift arrives whole, and a donor's optional contribution to Zeffy never changes that.

Does Qgiv have a free plan?

No. Bloomerang's pricing page lists no free plan. Qgiv costs from $40/month and is only sold with Bloomerang CRM from $125/month, both billed annually, and every gift pays processing. Peer-to-peer is not free either: it adds 1% per gift. Zeffy has no paid plan at all.

Do you need Bloomerang CRM to use Qgiv?

Yes. Qgiv can't be bought on its own. Bloomerang's pricing page says Bloomerang Fundraising "must be purchased as part of bundle with Bloomerang CRM". That means Qgiv from $40/month plus Bloomerang CRM from $125/month. Memberships also run in the CRM. Zeffy needs no second product: its CRM is complete, and it's free. A donation, an auction win or a renewed membership updates the donor's record by itself, and saved lists refresh as donors qualify. Automations send receipts and a welcome series. Ask the AI Data Assistant a question about your donors, and it answers with a chart.

Should we choose Qgiv or Zeffy?

Choose Qgiv if you already use Bloomerang CRM, run large auctions where paid on-site help, card readers or kiosks matter, or need PayPal and Venmo at checkout. Choose Zeffy if you want fundraising and a donor CRM in one free platform, with raffles, auctions, events, peer-to-peer, a store and memberships included, set up yourself, without a subscription or a fee on any gift.

Is Zeffy really free?

Yes. Zeffy charges no subscription, no processing fee and no peer-to-peer surcharge, so a $100 card gift reaches your nonprofit in full. Donors see an optional contribution to Zeffy at checkout. It is how Zeffy is funded, and it never comes out of your gift. See how Zeffy is free.

“We were incurring a ton of fees for our past fundraising platform and Zeffy has helped us receive so much more of our donations.”

Zeffy has been invaluable in helping me track our donors, sales, events, and revenue in one spot. The coolest thing about Zeffy is it really is free!

Everything about Zeffy suits us starting with (of course, NO fees) but also the ease of use and customer experience as well as their client support!!

Zeffy is very easy to use and ensures that every dollar quickly gets into our account.. A huge help to our work!

Zeffy is very simple, allows for a lot of customization and seamlessly integrates into our website. The fact that all of this is free is still wild to me.

We couldn't believe there was a free payment platform for our Girl Scout group. Zeffy took ZERO fees from us, which is huge when you run on very small amounts of money.

We were ready to sell tickets in less than 30 minutes. The reporting capabilities were better than some other paid-for sites.

Since using Zeffy, our conversion rate of donations has skyrocketed. It's an easy platform to use. Plus customer support has always been responsive and helpful!
