12 Best Nonprofit Tools for Small Business (2026)

Pros

• 0% platform fees, allowing nonprofits to keep more donations.
• Comprehensive suite of fundraising and CRM tools in one platform.

Cons

• Givebutter Plus, with advanced features, is a paid add-on.
• Nonprofits might need to encourage donors to cover processing fees to maintain 0% platform costs.

Pros

• Modular pricing allows churches to pay only for what they need.
• Core 'People' database is always free.

Cons

• Payment processing for donations and registrations incurs additional fees from Stripe.
• Pricing for some modules scales with usage (e.g., number of rooms, check-ins, donations, group members, event attendees, team members), which could become costly for larger churches.

Pros

• Significantly reduces donor drop-off with UltraSwift™ checkout.
• Offers a comprehensive suite of fundraising tools in one platform.

Cons

• Zeffy absorbs the card processing costs, so the organization receives the full amount a donor gives, whether or not that donor adds a contribution

Cons
