Verdict

Givebutter provides the best suite of modern online fundraising tools, including customizable donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, and ticketing, all within a free platform. It funds itself through optional donor tips and a 1% platform fee on paid plans, making it highly accessible.

What customers praise

The platform's user experience for both donors and fundraisers is exceptional, with beautifully designed, mobile-friendly campaign pages that can be set up in minutes.

What customers criticise

Its core CRM and donor management capabilities are less developed than dedicated systems like Bloomerang or LGL. It's more of a fundraising tool with a CRM than a CRM-first platform.
