The short version

  • Only Funraise has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Funraise free plan is restricted to organizations raising under $1 million annually and carries a 5% platform fee on top of processing fees, as of August 2026; Little Green Light pricing is driven purely by constituent record count, so inactive and lapsed records still raise the bill
