Givebutter is an all-in-one fundraising platform that organizations of all sizes use to raise funds, host events and auctions, manage donations, and message donors.
All of Givebutter’s features are free to use thanks to our transparent tip-or-fee pricing model.
OneCause was one of the first fundraising platforms to offer online auctions and mobile bidding, making it a popular option for organizations looking to host auctions alongside other fundraising campaigns.
That being said, the cost to use OneCause’s fundraising features can add up quickly.
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
OneCause offers five different paid plans, with varying pricing tiers for each, that come with different features, integrations, and levels of support:
→ Auctions & Events: 4 tiers
→ Streaming Events: 1 tier
→ Peer-To-Peer: 3 tiers
→ Online Fundraising: 3 tiers
→ Text2Give: 1 tier
Each plan requires a 12-month paid subscription.
OneCause does not list the platform and transaction fees associated with each plan. However, they mention elsewhere on their site that users may be charged up to 5% in convenience fees and up to 4.35% + $0.35 in transaction fees per transaction. Donors can choose to cover transaction fees.

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.
With Givebutter being a free platform, it's perfect for nonprofits and has so many great features with donation collection, events (physical and virtual), and fundraising. We don't ever plan on switching away from Givebutter! We were spending too much on fundraising software, so Givebutter is extremely cost-effective.
