User Satisfaction
Now that we’ve compared the offerings of these two platforms, let’s take a look at some reviews from current users.
“Donorbox was simple to set up and easy to integrate into our current website. There was no need for complex setup or expensive onboarding fees to get started. Since we already had a payment processor, setting up our website to accept donations from supporters was a snap. One of our stakeholders asked us to create a donor page they could use with some of their contacts, and with Donorbox, we had it up and running in less than 24 hours.” – Tad D. on G2
“It’s been a breath of fresh air. Prior to Donorbox I have used Classy, Salsa and Network for Good. Each have annual fees and yearly contracts, if you move from one of them then your monthly donors don’t transfer, lame! Donorbox was made with the nonprofit in mind. It has all the functionality I need and it’s easy to customize and manage donors. I wish I would have switched to them earlier.” – Austin J. on Capterra
“Excellent -we have had no challenges using Betterworld and the support team has always been there with answers on the same day.” – Susan P. on Capterra
“Overall very satisfied and pleased at the minimal work each year when we have our annual Auction again.” – Joan B. on Capterra
