Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Fundraise Up

  • The fee is a percentage of donations, so cost rises exactly as the product succeeds, and a single large gift routed through the checkout carries the same rate as a twenty pound one unless the agreement caps it.
  • It is a checkout, not a CRM, so it is always an additional cost on top of a donor database rather than a replacement for one.
  • Donor covered fee opt in rates vary widely by audience, so an organisation with an older or offline leaning donor base absorbs more of the fee than the sales model assumes.
  • Design control is limited to what the embedded component exposes, so brand teams that want full control over the giving experience will hit boundaries.
  • Live recurring gift authorisations are held in the platform, which makes leaving considerably harder than adopting, because migrating active mandates risks lapsing donors.

Qgiv

  • Qgiv has been renamed Bloomerang Fundraising and qgiv.com/pricing now redirects to bloomerang.com/pricing
  • The fundraising product starts at $40 per month billed annually but must be purchased as part of a bundle with Bloomerang CRM, which itself starts at $125 per month
  • All published prices are billed annually with no monthly billing option shown
  • The full Giving Platform starts at $242 per month billed annually
  • Every listed price is a starting price and the page directs buyers to Contact Sales for actual pricing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Fundraise Up: Is Fundraise Up a CRM?

No. It is a donation checkout that syncs into a CRM you already run, so budget for both.

Qgiv: How much does QGIV cost?

QGIV's website redirects to Bloomerang, which offers pricing starting at $40/month for Fundraising, $119/month for Volunteer, $125/month for CRM, or $242/month for the all-in-one Giving Platform.

Source
Fundraise Up: How does it charge?

A percentage of each donation, plus separately billed card processing. There is no flat licence that insulates you from volume.

Qgiv: What is Bloomerang's pricing model?

Bloomerang uses constituent-based pricing where costs scale with the number of records/contacts in your database, not per user. All plans include unlimited users.

Source
Fundraise Up: Does the donor covered fee option remove the cost?

It shifts it. When donors opt in they pay the platform and processing fee; when they do not, the charity does.

Qgiv: What does the Giving Platform include?

The Giving Platform at $242/month (billed annually) is an all-in-one solution including fundraising, CRM, volunteer management, Prospect AI, and predictive insights with unlimited users.

Source
Fundraise Up: What happens to recurring donors if we leave?

Active recurring authorisations sit with the platform and its processor, and migrating them is the part of an exit most organisations underestimate.
