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; OneCause pricing page names three tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Nationals) but publishes no dollar figures, requiring a request for the pay-as-you-go rate and a custom quote for Enterprise and Nationals, as of August 2026
