Many organizations looking for a quick crowdfunding solution may consider GoFundMe. But for all its name recognition, GoFundMe lacks most of the nonprofit fundraising essentials you can find with Givebutter, which provides free fundraising pages you can set up in minutes—plus all of the donor management and engagement tools nonprofits need for long-term success.

Like Givebutter, GoFundMe pricing doesn’t include monthly subscription fees or other hidden costs—both platforms rely on optional tips from donors instead. But where Givebutter users can choose to disable donor tipping if they prefer to pay a small platform fee instead, GoFundMe doesn’t let users turn off tips, nor do they give donors the option to cover payment processing fees. So, nonprofits will never receive the full amount they raise on any GoFundMe campaign.

How is Givebutter free?

In comparison to Givebutter’s customer support, GoFundMe has a ways to go. For users that want a robust help center with free workshops and trainings, Givebutter is the better choice.
