The short version

  • Each has a real cost: EveryAction now sold as part of Bonterra rather than as EveryAction; everyaction.com redirects to bonterratech.com; Raisely the tip model performs unevenly, so an organisation with an older or offline recruited donor base sees a lower tip rate and quietly absorbs more of the platform cost than the model assumes.
  • They diverge on capability: EveryAction covers Donor management, Raisely covers Peer to peer fundraising.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

EveryAction

  • Now sold as part of Bonterra rather than as EveryAction; everyaction.com redirects to bonterratech.com
  • Pricing is not published

Raisely

  • The tip model performs unevenly, so an organisation with an older or offline recruited donor base sees a lower tip rate and quietly absorbs more of the platform cost than the model assumes.
  • It is a campaign platform, not a CRM, so supporter data must be synced onward and organisations that skip that step lose cross channel giving history.
  • Getting the most out of the customisation requires front end capability, and charities without it run campaigns that look like the default template while paying for a platform built for the opposite.
  • Support hours are anchored to Australian time zones, which leaves European and North American teams waiting overnight during a live campaign.
  • Payment processing is tied to a small set of processors, so organisations with an existing merchant relationship or unusual regional payment needs may not be able to keep it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Donors are prompted to add a voluntary contribution to the platform at checkout, and some organisations pay for plans that remove the prompt.

It changes the checkout, and results vary by audience. Test it against your own list rather than relying on published averages.

Raisely: Is it a donor CRM?

No. It runs campaigns and pushes data to a CRM through the API or an integration.

Raisely: Who is it best for?
