### Most mentioned pros

- This platform has aided us in running many successful fundraisers while being able to keep track of donors, funds coming in and tickets sold.
- The back-office dashboard is impressive, featuring customizable reports and the ability to track all your donors effectively.
- From email campaigns to digital events to in person events, ticket selling, and live auctions - Givebutter really has everything we need to successfully fundraise.

### Most mentioned cons

- Complaints are rare! If anything I’d have to say that they don’t release enhancements regularly enough (though I’ve only been using the platform for 4 months). And sometimes testing different campaign scenarios can be challenging because there isn’t a “sandbox” environment that mimics donations, credit card transactions and auctions.
- 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.
- The newsletter/notification "Subscribe" form does not allow for anonymous subscriber (name and last name are required)

### Love Give Butter

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Dali W.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: October 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Love GiveButter, especially the peer fundraising and social media comments. So beneficial for a grassroots org like ours.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Setting up our events was a very seamless process, with a great interface. And excellent customer service. We were getting onboarding emails before I could even start setting up the event page. So helpful!

#### Cons

I do wish we could have setup multi-day events, instead of having to setup each day as 3 different campaigns. Also, given our fundraising event is ticket based? I think having to add names of everyone in the party was too much for some (potential) attendees.

#### Reasons for switching to Givebutter

Give butter seems more geared towards non profits.

#### Vendor response

Dali, thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear the setup process was smooth and that our team was able to support you right from the start. It’s awesome to know the peer fundraising and social sharing features are helpful for your grassroots work. We really appreciate your thoughts about multi-day events. That’s actually a feature request our team is working on, and we’re really hoping to have it released soon! Your feedback helps us prioritize what matters most to event organizers like you. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for all the amazing work you’re doing in your community!

### Givebutter serves as our Ticketmaster

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Karen D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Music
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I love Givebutter webinars that are positive, upbeat and inspirational! We started a monthly campaign after listening to one webinar and it is so nice to have donations coming in each month.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

We are still using Givebutter because it functions like a ticket master. Our community can purchase tickets to our events, then we use the Givebutter App to scan when they come to the concert or event.

#### Cons

We cannot connect Givebutter to Salesforce via an easy, inexpensive connector, so we have to enter each donation by hand and no longer keep track in Salesforce of who has attended which concert or event.

#### Reasons for switching to Givebutter

Givebutter was free platform and we weren't overwhelmed with Handbid.

### Givebutter gives us all that we need as a nonprofit

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Mike B.

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2025

This is the ideal platform for fundraising, especially to build pages/QR codes to promote events. One QR code can be used to take donations from any money transfer app, which is great!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

it appears to be secure, and the platform is simple, straightforward, and able to do all the functions we are looking for as a non-profit... even on the free version!

#### Cons

If anything, I suppose the support for the platform has a lot of reliance on AI. I have not had a need to get in touch with a human csa, but if I did, it would be a new experience.

#### Reasons for choosing Givebutter

Givebutter can create one QR code that can be scanned to accept donations from ALL of the money-transfer apps.

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!&nbsp; We’re thrilled to hear that Givebutter feels secure and easy to use for your nonprofit. And don’t worry about support, we’ve got real humans here 24/7 if you ever need us! You can reach out by email at support@givebutter.com or just type “talk to person” in chat.

I’ve tried other donation platforms and they were very expensive and not as responsive as Givebutter. Givebutter responds very quickly and had a great value.

#### Ratings breakdown

Not being eligible for certain benefits as a fiscally sponsored organization. I wish some of these decisions would be reconsidered.

They were very expensive. It was my first platform and I thought this was normal.

#### 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.

#### Reasons for choosing Givebutter

Cleaner front page. Easier to use. Took Venmo.

How easy it is to use. The ability to share data with the Board at monthly meetings through the reports generated from the site.

#### Reasons for switching to Givebutter

Waycool became to costly for what we were using. It had a component we did not use and could not reduce cost for not using that portion.

### Givebutter is great!

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Coming from Salesforce, Givebutter is powerful due to its simplicity. It can do everything we need it to do without making you feel like you need a data engineering degree and ten years of experience.

#### Cons

I'm not the biggest fan of how they've worded their solicitation messages for our donors. They ask donors to help take on the cost of running the platform, but they call it a "tip," which is distasteful and dishonest. If I were them, I would just be upfront and call it a fee. Tip suggests that a human helped serve them, and carries a bit of guilt with it.

#### Reasons for switching to Givebutter

Not relevant, this survey is too long, I didn't know I was going to be asked to write a novel. It's a good product. Let me have my day back now.

#### Vendor response

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that Givebutter’s simplicity has been a game-changer for you. We totally hear you about the terminology around the "tip," and we really appreciate you sharing that insight—it’s feedback like this that helps us improve. Rest assured, we’re always working to make things as clear and user-friendly as possible. Thanks for being part of our family and for making the world a better place with your amazing work!

#### Pros

I organize donations for a local not-for-profit both as an individual fundraiser and a member of their Development Committee. Give Butter receives and tracks these donations so that I can see them immediately, responds with a standard "Thank You," and allows me to follow-up with a personal one as well. Our critical mission, our achievements, our grant-getting power, our social media presence, and "Give Butter" as recording platform enabled us to buy our building just this past year.

#### Cons

So far, flawless. I've totally appreciated using it.

#### Reasons for switching to Givebutter

The set up was extremely easy. I had the opportunity to make the site extremely elaborate if I wanted, but I was in a pinch and needed to put the page up quickly and was able to do that with a clean simple page.

#### Cons

I have been told by people who want to donate that it is a little lengthy to get a donation in. Some said that they wanted to just simply click a button to donate from a card on their phone, but unfortunately that couldn't happen. I haven't followed up on it though so I don't know how complicated it actually is on their end

#### Vendor response

Such lovely feedback, Steven! We’re so happy to hear that setting up your page was quick and easy, and that you loved having the option to make it as simple or elaborate as you needed. We really appreciate your note about the donation flow. That’s super helpful feedback, and we’ll keep it in mind as we work on making donating on mobile even faster and easier.

Very good, there are a few small Hiccups but overall a smooth and simple platform.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

I like the ease of donations and the ability to ask the donor to cover the fees.

#### Cons

I think that the campaign and event set up could be simplified. Many organizations collect general donations perpetually. They also host periodic events that may or may not require a ticketed entry. It’s hard for family members to know whether to donate to an individual donor link VS an event that they won’t attend.

#### Vendor response
