The short version

  • Only Donorbox has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Donorbox standard plan charges 2.95-3.95% platform fee per donation on top of payment processor fees (2.2-2.49% + card processing); MoEngage no dollar figures are published for any tier across its three products (Inform, the core cross-channel platform, and Personalize); every plan routes to a Let's Talk or Request Demo sales conversation
