The real cost of “free”
Some platforms say they're free. Then they flip the iPad around and ask your donors to leave an 18% tip. Here's the truth.
| GiveLink | Zeffy | Givebutter | GoFundMe Pro | Fundraise Up | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platform Fee | 1% | “Free”* | 0% or 3% | Not public | 4% |
| Donor Tips | Never | Pre-selected 15% | Pre-selected 15% | None | None |
| Monthly Fee | $0 | $0 | $0–$279 | $0† | $0 |
| Features | Launch features included | Limited | Tiered | All included | All included |
| Payouts | Automatic daily | Delayed | Manual | Varies | Automatic |
| Real cost on $100K raised | $1,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | $12,000–$15,000 | Varies | $4,000 |
† GoFundMe Pro was rebranded from Classy in May 2025. Essentials tier is $0 for nonprofits under $1M; per-transaction fee not published.
You're at the grocery store. Self-checkout. You scanned your own groceries. You bagged your own groceries. And the screen flips around asking for an 18% tip. For what?
This is the same move “free” fundraising platforms make at checkout. A donor decides to give $100 to your cause — and right before they submit, the platform adds a pre-checked tip box at 15%, 17%, even 18%. Most donors don't realize the tip goes to the platform, not your nonprofit.
It's absurd on its face. Imagine a parking meter asking for a gratuity. That's the energy. Yet this is the business model an entire generation of fundraising SaaS has built around — and your donors foot the bill.
* “Free” platforms report average donor tips of 12–18%. On $100K in donations, that's $12,000–$18,000 your donors paid — they just didn't know it was going to the platform.
