Anedot review
A free-to-start fundraising platform with broad integrations and transaction-based pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Anedot is an online fundraising and text-to-give platform for U.S.-based nonprofits, churches, ministries, political campaigns, and educational institutions. It combines customizable donation and fundraising pages with SMS keywords, shareable donation links, QR codes, recurring giving, automated receipts, reporting, exports, and donor management. Payment processing covers major cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Bitcoin, giving organizations one platform for collecting and managing donations.
Pricing is transaction-based rather than a conventional paid monthly plan. All accounts cost $0 per month, with no monthly fees, no setup fees, and all features included; transaction fees apply. Standard pricing is 4% + 30¢ per transaction for major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH, while Bitcoin transactions are 1%. The 501(c)(3) plan lists 3.3% + 30¢ for major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, plus 0.3% + 30¢ for ACH. Bitcoin pricing is 1% per transaction and is available upon request. This structure suits organizations that prefer to avoid fixed subscription costs, but donation volume directly affects expenses.
Integration breadth is a central strength. Anedot connects with Salesforce NPSP, Blackbaud Raiser's Edge, HubSpot, Virtuous, DonorPerfect, NationBuilder, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, QuickBooks Online, Planning Center, Zapier, and Webhooks. The platform is available on the web and through an API, supporting organizations that need fundraising data to move across CRM, marketing, accounting, and automation systems. It is a strong fit for established nonprofits building a connected fundraising stack; organizations seeking a narrow text-only tool or avoiding per-transaction charges may prefer a different model.
