Compare online giving platforms
Lowest estimated cost per gift comes first, including modeled tips. Select the needs that matter to rank platforms by fit.
How the estimates work
- Nonprofit cost per gift
- Add the annual subscription and transaction fees, then divide by estimated gifts. We estimate gift count from your annual goal and typical gift, rounded up.
- Optional donor tips
- Add the modeled tip prompt to get the displayed cost. Fixed prompts stay in the estimate when configurable tips are off. Donor fee coverage is separate.
- Plans and exclusions
- We rank by the number of documented matches when you select needs, then by the lowest estimated plan cost. Confirm feature access, add-on costs, and eligibility. We use standard rates for multiple activities and exclude quote-only plans, integrations, international rates, and negotiated fees from the estimates.
When does a subscription pay off?
Donorbox Pro costs $1,800 a year and saves 1.2 percentage points in platform fees. At the same card rate, eligible US nonprofits break even at $150,000 a year in online gifts.
Standard costs less below that point. Pro costs less above it.
