Our verdict

Last verified Aug 25, 2026

A modern all-in-one platform with a real built-in CRM (unlimited contacts free), strong event and peer-to-peer tooling, and 0% platform and processing fees when donor tips are enabled; the new Givebutter Plus tier ($29-$129/mo) adds automation depth. Held below the top tier because disabling tips now triggers a 3% platform fee and the CRM is lighter than dedicated donor-management suites.
