See for yourself why Givebutter is a better way to give
🧈 Our take: Network for Good has long been a trusted site for nonprofit fundraising, but for many groups, Givebutter’s entirely free fundraising platform with modern, world-class engagement tools is a better fit. We’ve broken down the key differences between each platform, so you can decide for yourself.
Givebutter
Network for Good
A+
B+
Givebutter is a free all-in-one fundraising platform used by organizations of all sizes, including nonprofits, schools, sports teams, individuals, businesses, faith communities, and other groups. Givebutter charges no monthly fees, and the average campaign keeps more than 99% of all funds raised.
Many small nonprofit organizations pay a monthly fee to use Network for Good as their all-in-one fundraising platform. Like Givebutter, users can count on its robust donor management and communication tools, but unlike Givebutter, Network for Good charges extra for features and requires users to have 501(c)(3) status and a Guidestar profile.
Givebutter is free thanks to optional donor tips.
The fee charged by our secure payment processors is 2.9% + 30¢ except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. Donors can choose to cover these fees (which 95% do!).
If you'd prefer to disable tips, a platform fee applies instead:
→ 1% for Donation Forms
→ 3% for Fundraising Pages
→ 5% for Events & Auctions
Network for Good charges $100–$400 per month based on the number of donor contacts you have.
Network for Good also charges a transaction fee of 3–5% per donation, depending on the feature, which donors have the option of covering.
Network for Good Auctions has an additional payment processing fee through Stripe, which is 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction.

Methodology
Givebutter’s editorial staff aims to bring you the most transparent and objective comparisons possible. We sourced these comparison metrics directly from sites like G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, BBB, InHerSight, Comparably, Glassdoor, and more. Score data gathered on October 6 2022.
Givebutter leads the pack in user satisfaction
Givebutter is ranked as the #1 software for fundraising, donor management, and auctions on G2, the largest independent software review site.
Givebutter is an easy to use, intuitive platform that has simplified our donation process. They provide great support to nonprofit organizations and businesses alike. They share helpful resources and tips on a regular basis—all with good humor and much-welcomed light-heartedness. Givebutter made their platform very affordable (free, I believe) to nonprofit organizations such as ours. This is incredibly helpful for any young start-up organization.
