Social Media Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for the Newbie" September 17, 2025 5.0 Bring new to the non-profit world it has been easy to learn how to grow a CRM, run campaign pages, and utilize their email system. Pros GiveButter is easy to use. I have attended many of their seminars and they are very helpful with getting started. Also, when I am stuck they are quick to respond. Cons For their Campaign Pages I wish there was a little bit more flexibility on how it looks. Also, when I load photos to my page I have have to resize before they can be uploaded. Sometimes the Canva and GiveButter connection is glitchy. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 1, 2025 Thank you so much for your kind words, Heidi!  We’re so glad that it has been easy to use and that our team has been helpful to you. We also really appreciate your feedback; it helps us keep improving. Wishing you all the best as you grow your nonprofit journey! AL Amber L. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An ally for your fundraising" July 24, 2025 5.0 I have a small business that also does advocacy work. I needed a trustworthy fundraiser platform that wouldn't charge me outrageous fees or for a subscription. My campaign page was easy to create, share, and link to my websites. Pros It's so easy to start and manage a campaign! It's straightforward, but also has lots of features to help share your cause. The fees are extremely fair, and there aren't any minimums before they'll release the funds. Payouts are fast, and the pages look professional. Cons I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this platform! My experience with givebutter has been nothing but good. Review Source Response from Givebutter August 3, 2025 This absolutely made our day, thank you! đź’› It means the world to us to know the platform is working well for your small business, and we love that you’ve had a smooth experience with us. Thanks again for being part of the Givebutter fam! Carrie T. Director of Fundraising and Engagement Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Like a pro!" January 30, 2025 4.0 Great customer support - very responsive and provide lots of tips & tricks. Love the trainings, love the user friendliness on the back-end and front (minus the set up!). Would love some more paid subscription 'levels' so that we could use the aspects we really need and not have to worry about the cost of Plus. Pros Easy to use fundraising platform - easily integrates widgets into our website for professional and clean looking user experiences. Simple-to-use email platform! Cons setting up the connection between Little Green Light & Givebutter via Zapier was not simple for someone who is not experienced in this to accomplish. I had help, but it required for me to find a volunteer who could navigate it for me to make it fully functional. There are still some communication glitches, and LGL doesn't communicate changes in constituents back to GB, which is frustrating. Alternatives considered [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Reason for choosing Givebutter GB has high ratings, was free, and looked professional. Plus the customer service was quick to respond and the additional support offered for making the jump was key. Switched from [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Mailchimp was frustrating to use and COSTLY! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for your awesome feedback! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying Givebutter’s ease of use and the professional look it brings to your fundraising. We understand the challenge of setting up the Zapier connection—integrating third-party tools can sometimes be tricky. We also appreciate your feedback on the communication glitches with Little Green Light and will keep that in mind as we work to improve. Your kind words about our customer support and training mean a lot to us, and we’re always here to help! Thank you again for choosing Givebutter! MK Micah K. Executive Director International Affairs Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great set of tools and a sincere team ready to support your organization" February 4, 2025 5.0 Every single member of the Givebutter team, from initial consultation, to training, onboarding, implementation, optimization, and support, has genuinely cared about our organization's success. The company and team share a fun company culture, and they believe in their mission to help nonprofits and "change makers" find success with their supporters and campaigns. I must admit, after coming from a CRM that charged us several thousands of dollars per year, I sleep better knowing our small nonprofit won't be gated away from our CRM, our supporters, or ability to communicate with them. Givebutter's "free forever" tier remains remarkable, and the extra features and tools enabled via their optional Givebutter Plus upgrade are compelling and reasonable. Even with Givebutter Plus, there are no contracts to worry about. Pros Givebutter's comprehensive tools have been easy to learn and fun to use. Our onboarding team, further supported by the free Givebutter Academy course and live Bootcamp webinars, really helped set us up for success. The Givebutter team and business model have been genuine, sincere, and transparent. I personally believe they understand how our organizations' success is their shared success, so they work hard to make sure we're in a good place with the platform and its features. Within a couple of months, we migrated decades of contacts and transactions and utilized most major features beyond the core CRM, including physical mailings, hosted fundraiser pages, embedded donation, ticketing, and newsletter signup widgets for our website, email newsletters, ticketed events, and more. It's also great to be able to customize whether or not we want to absorb a fair percentage fee or ask supporters to optionally "tip" Givebutter on a per-campaign basis. We appreciate being able to have that option. Cons If you're coming from a huge, sprawling CRM that can accommodate every scenario for a massive, complex organization, and you actually \*use\* all those features, you may find some (likely temporary!) limitations with Givebutter's CRM features. That said, the team is regularly and transparently updating and improving the tools based on user feedback. Whenever we check in with our onboarding, implementation, and success teams to seek feedback or optimize a campaign, they're kind to proactively "vote up" our various feature requests on their public product roadmap. Sometimes, perhaps coincidentally, these are implemented within a matter of days, so that's always nice!

Givebutter had every tool and feature we needed in a modern suite that allowed us to use our branding, custom domains, and much more. Their business model and pricing are refreshingly transparent, and we appreciate having the option to upgrade for specific premium features while not being gated away from the essential features. The combination of no contracts, no fees, a terrific "free forever" set of tools, and the ability to customize our pricing/payment model on a per-campaign basis was great for our needs. Switched from [Blackbaud eTapestry](https://www.capterra.com/p/29170/eTapestry/) Blackbaud was prohibitively expensive, too complex for our relatively simple needs, and lacked the modern features and UI we wanted. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review!

VR Verified Reviewer Chief Program Officer Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Truly no complaints!" February 4, 2025 5.0 Anytime we are presented with another platform, it is hard to argue with what we get out of Givebutter. I would say the only thing that is really separating Givebutter from other competitors is AI analysis with other giving methods. Otherwise, we are proud Givebutter users and am happy to refer people to Givebutter! Pros Honestly, the free level is incredibly generous for what functionality is offered. Cons The auction fees are a bit steep but its hard to complain about that! Alternatives considered [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Most definitely costs and their sales team is so pushy. Switched from [Weebly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246168/Weebly/) Mostly costs and ease of use, Givebutter is just better! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying Givebutter and truly appreciate your support. Regarding auction fees, we’d love to explore options with you so that you won’t have to pay any fees! We offer ways to offset costs, and we'd be happy to walk you through those details. Feel free to reach out to us anytime at support@givebutter.com—we’re here to help! Thank you for choosing Givebutter!

Web and Graphic Design, Social Media and Marketing Fund-Raising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Platform for Nonprofits!" February 5, 2025 5.0 So far, our experience with Givebutter has been great! Whenever we've had questions or needed help, the Givebutter team has been very supportive and ready to help. Pros I love the "all-in-one" features of Givebutter. From email campaigns to digital events to in person events, ticket selling, and live auctions - Givebutter really has everything we need to successfully fundraise. Cons There are some small features that could be more intuitive. I would like it to be easier to bulk archive contacts when they have unsubscribed or an email has bounced. Alternatives considered [Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I tested both of the free versions of these products for several months. When Givebutter launched their Givebutter plus program, it really sold it for me. The cost is so much more afforadable and we have so many great tools all in one platform. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/)[Panorama](https://www.capterra.com/p/166550/Panorama/) Extremely high expenses, high fees, and we were using multiple platforms. It was hard to keep track of everything. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear that Givebutter has been a great all-in-one solution for your fundraising needs! We totally understand how bulk archiving would make things easier. We may have an option for that! Check out our helpful guide here: https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/9150570-how-to-archive-or-delete-contacts.

President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User friendly; great pricing structure." January 31, 2025 4.0 Very good and I've recommended it to other nonprofits. Pros The pricing structure. We are a very small nonprofit and every dollar counts. I also appreciate how Givebutter gives feedback update to email subscribers. That gets us all bought in to the program and how it evolves and can be made better. Cons Honestly, the name! Whyyyy. But the product speaks for itself. :) Alternatives considered [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I liked the way Givebutter looked and functioned. I needed both a CRM and a transaction manager. Gb provides the basics for fundraising while being affordable and Switched from [DonorView](https://www.capterra.com/p/162375/DonorView/) DonorView is unnecessarily convoluted and definitely unnecessarily expensive. We are a very small nonprofit and I feel preyed upon after the amount of money spent and the long contract terms. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 We appreciate the fun feedback on the name, Katherine—it might not be the catchiest, but we’re so glad the product speaks for itself! Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re beyond excited that Givebutter’s pricing and features are a perfect fit for your nonprofit. Every dollar truly matters, and it makes us so happy that we’re able to support your mission. Plus, recommending us to others? You're a true Givebutter champion!

Chief development officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why aren’t you using Givebitter" January 30, 2025 5.0 What else is there to say? Meets our overall needs, seamless implementation, and producing results. Pros Givebutter has been a fantastic platform for our fundraising needs. The transition was smooth, and the interface is incredibly user-friendly. Their tutorials made it easy to get started, and whenever we had questions, customer service was responsive and helpful. It’s a great all-in-one solution for fundraising, and we’ve had a seamless experience so far. Cons Waiting too long to implement Givebutter! We spent extra time and effort using less intuitive platforms, which led to slower donor engagement and more manual work. The transition could have been smoother had we switched sooner, avoiding delays in streamlining our campaigns. Alternatives considered [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I chose Givebutter because it offers the best combination of pricing and capabilities. The platform provides powerful fundraising tools without the high fees of other options, making it a cost-effective solution. Features like peer-to-peer fundraising, live donor tracking, and seamless payment processing set it apart. The transparent pricing and lack of hidden fees made it an easy choice. Plus, the platform’s ease of use and excellent customer support have made the transition smooth. If you’re looking for an affordable, feature-rich fundraising platform, Givebutter is the right choice. Switched from [Heartland Payments+](https://www.capterra.com/p/119791/Heartland-Payment-Processing/)[Levitate](https://www.capterra.com/p/211147/Levitate/) We needed something more comprehensive and donor focused. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Wow, Elle, thank you for this fantastic review!

Director of Operations Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for Events" January 30, 2025 3.0 Overall we plan to continue to use the platform for our events, but do not plan to completely switch to Givebutter as our primary donor management system. Pros Easy to create campaigns and events that are also a good user experience on the donor/participant side. Cons We need to subscribe to Givebutter + to pull full reports and upload letters Alternatives considered [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/)[BetterWorld](https://www.capterra.com/p/237618/BetterWorld/)[OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Givebutter The cost as well as reviews and demos for each platform Switched from [Bloomerang Fundraising](https://www.capterra.com/p/80990/Qgiv/) Their fees for auctions were very high, and we could use Givebutter without a cost to run our first auction campaign. Givebutter also encourages the donor/client to cover the costs associated with card processing fees. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with creating campaigns and events on Givebutter. I just wanted to clarify that reports are available to all users, you do not need to subscribe to Givebutter Plus to access them. The Plus version does offer the added benefit of automating custom reports, but transaction and contact details reports can be pulled without the subscription. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to our support team—we’re available 24/7 and happy to assist with anything you need!

Marketing and Event Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A company that truly listens to their users" January 30, 2025 5.0 We are so happy and thrilled with our experience. Our organization is more effective and streamlined than we ever have been, and it’s because Givebutter is behind us. Thank you! Pros Givebutter is a platform that is easy to use, intuitive, and clean. They have created a product that combines many features of other CRM tools, but all in one place. For me, the best part of being a Givebutter partner is that they actually listen to you. We have had several calls with account manager staff and every single time they HEAR our feedback, and then they take it to make the product even better. Givebutter truly wants you to have what you need, and will work to make the platform all you could dream of and more. The customer service is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Cons The only thing I can say is that I wish we didn’t switch over right when they made Givebutter plus an option, but the Plus is so useful and cost-effective that it doesn’t really apply anymore. Switched from [Bonterra EveryAction](https://www.capterra.com/p/142421/Bonterra-Development-Digital/) NFG is expensive and the reports are terrible. We wanted something more intuitive and comprehensive. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! This is truly music to our ears! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that it has helped streamline your organization’s efforts and that our team has been able to support you along the way. It’s incredible to know that we’ve made such a positive impact, and we’re so grateful for your feedback. Our goal is always to listen and improve, so knowing we’ve hit the mark with you means the world to us! We’re also so happy to hear that the Plus version has been an excellent fit for you.

Director of Mission Advancement Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter was the solution my NPO needed! " January 31, 2025 5.0 Excellent. I have been very happy since I made the switch from another platform. The free functionality is great and I have upgraded as well on the free trial and will likely purchase the upgrade prior to my next campaign as it has additional functionality I liked. Pros It's EASY to use - doesn't require a lot of training and if you do need to figure something out - the chats and tutorials work will. It's intuitive and not overbuilt while having all the basic functions a fundraiser needs to manage their donors and activities. Cons The only con is creating hard copy/mailed letters isn't an available function. However, on other platforms - this isn't the easiest either and I just have a work around for this. Alternatives considered [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I didn't like any of the prior products I had used or was familiar with so thought I'd try something new. Switched from [DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/) Donor perfect's event features were terrible at the price point we were at.

" February 4, 2025 5.0 Super easy verification and startup - found all of the educational videos super helpful. The on-going improvements keep me on my toes and seems almost intuitive. Pros Ease of set up. Free initial version. Setting up accounts and tasks Cons Asking for Tips. But I hate that in general, so really, it isn't specific to GiveButter and doesn't diminish the great things about the program. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Thanks for the LOVE! It means the world to us. We’re especially glad the educational videos and ongoing improvements have been helpful for you! We totally understand your thoughts about the tipping feature—thank you for sharing that feedback We’re so happy to have you with us and can’t wait to keep improving to support you even more! VR Verified Reviewer Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free and easy to use" December 28, 2024 5.0 The team has had a great time using the platform. Customer support is great and we had a fairly easy time learning the functions Pros The platform is free, it is user friendly and the features are many. Cons Their ticket sales features says donations and doesn't look like a ticketing platform so patrons are often confused if they are donating or buying tickets. I also don't like that too much info is on the ticketing page that patrons don't normally see when buying tickets on traditional platforms Alternatives considered [DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/)[DonorView](https://www.capterra.com/p/162375/DonorView/)[Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/) Reason for choosing Givebutter It was free and recommended by a lot of colleagues in the field Switched from [BetterUnite](https://www.capterra.com/p/172631/BetterUnite/) That platform was short on a lot of functions Review Source Response from Givebutter January 14, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding our ticketing features. To clarify, you can update the name of the button to say 'Tickets' or even remove the donation button entirely, allowing your campaign to focus solely on ticket sales. If you have any questions about how to make these adjustments or need help exploring alternatives, our support team is here for you!

March 10, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Give butter was AMAZING!! I came from Network for Good and Give butter is hands down a better platform. Pros I love the workflow process that allows you to schedule tasks ahead of time. These tasks are everything from emails to phone calls based on certain triggers that you preset. Makes communication and donor cultivation a breeze!! Cons The data hygiene process was somewhat tricky in the beginning however it did become better as time and understanding went by!! Switched from [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) Givebutter had more of the options I was looking for in a CRM. Review Source Response from Givebutter March 13, 2025 Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We're happy to hear that it has made donor communication easier for you! We know that getting used to a new system can take time, so we truly appreciate your patience with the data process.

" October 22, 2025 5.0 Excellent so far that we are returning customers. We have been in business for a year and continue to use Givebutter for our annual campaigns. Pros Ease of use. The simplicity of building a campaign and the manufactured QR Code to share is great. The ability to embed on our website makes it universal. Cons There is not a lot that I don’t like about this product. Front page graphics need an upgrade. Live Display needs to have more options for graphics and logo integration. Also the ability to display top donors with tickets as well as donations. Alternatives considered [Double the Donation](https://www.capterra.com/p/250318/360MatchPro/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Cleaner front page. Easier to use. Took Venmo.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us to support your amazing work! SM Steven M. Executive Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and effective" May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Very simple and effective to set up campaigns, embed in our website, collect funds, report on contributions, transfer to bank accounts. Makes donors and staff feel the process is safe, accurate, and productive. Cons It would be helpful to have a regular notification (e.g., weekly) of available balance to transfer. If automatic withdrawals are not turned on, a lot of contributed funds could accrue with Givebutter. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 15, 2025 This is a lovely review, Steven! Really appreciate you pointing out the idea of a regular balance notification too—that’s such a helpful suggestion! I’ll definitely pass that along to our team as we keep working to make things even better. So happy to have you here with us—don’t hesitate to reach out anytime! ME Michelle E. Executive Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affordable for small non-profits looking for an affordable upgrade" January 30, 2025 5.0 Really positive. It's easy to use, affordable, looks super sleek, and has resulted in an increase in donations for our organization because people don't get navigated to a 3rd party site. Pros Givebutter is easy to use and integrate into your Wordpress site so the donors never have to leave your site. They also allow you to set goals and have teams to raise money for campaigns. Fees can also be picked up by donors with making it very clear that if they don't a certain percentage of their donation gets eaten up by transaction fees. This has resulted in roughly 90% of our donors picking up the fee charge. Givebutter also is integrated with Stripe, so the transaction reports are super simple to run. Cons The feature generating thank you letters from the system is lacking something, but all the rest of the features are easy to use, so this isn't a deal breaker for my organization. It just won't replace your current donor software for tracking and providing thank you letters and emails. Switched from [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/) Donors needed to navigate to their site and off of ours which resulted in donors not following through on their path to donate. Plus Square was not all that customizable and it looked amateurish. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Michelle! We’re so glad to hear that Givebutter has helped streamline your donation process. We also appreciate your feedback about the thank-you letter feature, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates. Thank you again for choosing Givebutter—we’re so happy to be a part of your fundraising journey! DJ Devin J. Advancement Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for schools and smaller teams - powerful, inexpensive, and easy-to-use!" January 2, 2025 5.0 Great, it's been good and getting better since I've used it. It gets the job done, and is in a sweet spot where it has powerful features but is also simple enough to be easy to use. Pros The best parts about Givebutter are ease of use, the variety of features offered, constant updates to add better quality-of-life improvements to fundraisers, responsive support, low fees, basically every payment method you could want, and lots of software integration options. Cons These aren't all necessarily cons for our organization, but I think that givebutter is very well-suited to small teams and small-to-moderate fundraising campaigns(<$1M). If you're doing larger fundraisers you can use to supplement your activities, but its strength is more in handling online donations, auctions, etc., things with less specialized software requirements. Review Source Response from Givebutter January 14, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that Givebutter has been a great fit for your team. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re happy that Givebutter has helped with your fundraising efforts! We also appreciate your thoughts about scaling for larger fundraisers.

Fundraising Chair Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Must-Have Tool for Small Nonprofits" February 4, 2025 5.0 Givebutter was easy to sign up, set up, and start taking in donations. Our organization is incredibly satisfied with Givebutter! Pros Givebutter is free to use! It is incredibly user friendly, so we didn't have to waste time with a ton of technically-difficult onboarding or training. Givebutter also has great support! Every time I have a question, I get a clear and quick answer. Cons While the pricing is free, there is a cost for premium features. The contact limit for these features seems a little low. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/268338/App-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Givebutter had a much smaller learning curve and easier set-up process. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) We needed a more robust, all-in-one solution, with relational managment. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Jackson, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback!

Director of Advancement Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Use" January 30, 2025 5.0 Our experience has been excellent especially since we are using the no-cost portion and now wish we had not purchased this other CRM system and just gone with give butter!! Pros This program is so user friendly, allows for our own creativity as we promote our events. It also seamlessly connects all the pieces of fundraising together which includes the communications, marketing, auctions, event creation, data collection etc. It also is superb at point of contact fundraising. We also use another system for CRM which is no where near as proficient at the nuts and bolts fundraising. Cons As I compare this against another company I can't say I dislike anything! Alternatives considered [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) Reason for choosing Givebutter We use NXT for CRM but were sold that it does waht giver butter does for events, communicaitons, etc and it does NOT!

" January 31, 2025 5.0 So far, it's been great! Help is readily available, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Pros Everything is in one place. Board management, donor management, event details, ticketing, auctions, thanks and communication. Cons There could be a little more flexibility with page design. For example, there isn't a place to list ticket options and different sponsorship levels clearly on the same page. It would also be nice to receive a discount or rebate based on the number of donors who cover their givebutter processing fees. Alternatives considered [Sales Force Assistant](https://www.capterra.com/p/247040/Sales-Quote-Assistant/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Ease of features and additional features.

I love the change from our previous CRM. Pros Very user friendly. I love the wase of the interface and the use of customer support. Cons Amount of contact emails, but not a terrible thing. Over all a great experience. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Givebutter We were referred by another nonprofit who was happy with their experience.

May 21, 2025 5.0 The Givebutter platform is a cut above the rest! The ease of use, eye catching marketing & minimal fees make this fundraising tool a win-win for our organization! Pros The ease of use, eye catching marketing & minimal platform fees make GiveButter the only choice for non-profit fundraising! Cons The inability to add a button to our website that directly linked to just the Auction portion of our campaign. Switched from [Auction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/136964/Auction-Software/) Auction ohio was expensive for the user and the buyers premium just kept increasing. No website integration and not mobile friendly. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 24, 2025 Thank you so much for the love! It truly means a lot to us! Your kind words about our ease of use, eye-catching design, and lower fees made our day. And thank you for the feedback on linking directly to the auction — that’s super helpful and we’ll be sure to share it with our team. We’re so grateful to be part of your fundraising journey!
