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
  • Wealth screening, SMS messaging and dedicated success manager access require the Premium plan starting at $99 per month, as of August 2026

Postmark

  • Free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed
  • Basic plan ($15/mo) includes 10,000 emails then charges $1.80 per 1,000 extra; Pro and Platform tiers have their own lower per-1,000 overage rates ($1.30 and $1.20), so cost scales per email beyond the included volume
  • Custom high-volume pricing above the published tiers requires contacting sales
