The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Givebutter zero platform fee only applies when the donor tip option is left enabled; disabling tips triggers a flat 3% platform fee plus card processing, as of August 2026; Bloomerang pricing is based on the number of constituent records tracked, so the bill grows with the database rather than with usage
