Givebutter claims that their platform is free.
But this is contingent on you asking your donors to give an ‘optional tip’ to the Givebutter platform. If you choose to remove this ask of your donors - then their platform fees, as mentioned above, would apply.
In either case, your donors would still have to pay the payment processing fees.

If you are a registered nonprofit, you can leverage your 501 (c) (3) status to get discounted transaction charges from both Stripe and PayPal.

Donorbox can be completely free if you ask donors to cover your transaction fees.

Our platform allows you to provide your donors with this option - allowing you to utilize the full amount you receive, for your cause.

Fun Fact: Most donors end up covering these fees, when given the opportunity!
