Givebutter’s all-in-one platform has everything you need to run engaging events, fundraisers, and silent auctions for your nonprofit. Classy reviews report an impressive range of features, but the platform lacks the donor engagement tools many nonprofits are looking for—like Givebutter’s live display for in-person events, scan-to-donate, and interactive supporter feeds on every campaign page. Plus, some of Classy’s fundraising tools are only available through top-tier paid plans. Givebutter’s tools are available to all nonprofit users and are always free.

Classy’s platform is aimed at large nonprofits—and it has a monthly subscription cost that reflects this. Givebutter’s pricing is completely transparent and free—donors can even cover the small fee charged by Givebutter’s secure payment processor.
