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.

Veem

  • Per-transaction fees can be higher than dedicated wire transfer services for large volumes
  • No free tier - even basic sending incurs transaction fees
  • Premium plan pricing at $14.99/month may not offset savings on transaction fees
  • Limited banking partnerships compared to larger financial platforms

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.

Veem: What payment methods does Veem support?

Veem supports ACH transfers, checks, wallet transfers, and international wires. Payment methods vary by destination country and user preference.

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.

Veem: Is there a free tier?

No free tier. Veem charges per-transaction fees based on payment method and destination, with optional Premium Plan at $14.99/month offering enhanced features.

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.

Veem: What integrations does Veem have?

Veem integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Zapier, Plaid, and PopBookings for automated accounting and workflow integration.

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.

Veem: How does Veem handle exchange rates?

Veem uses claimed competitive exchange rates and provides transparent pricing. Transactions are routed through different payment rails (credit cards, checks, cryptocurrency) based on the destination.
