Our verdict on Donately
Donately is an online fundraising platform for nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations, including schools, churches, teams, and agencies. It brings donation forms, campaign pages, recurring giving, peer-to-peer and team fundraising, event ticketing, donor management, and reporting together. Its feature set suits organizations that want to build fundraising experiences into their websites and manage multiple campaign types through one service.
The pricing choice is mainly about platform fees, not access to features: all three plans include full fundraising feature access. The Free Plan has no monthly cost and charges a 4% platform fee per donation. Low Fees costs $99 per month and charges 2% per donation. No Fees is a $5,000 one-time payment, with 0% platform fees up to $1 million in processed donations. Stripe or PayPal payment-processing fees apply separately on every plan. The free tier provides a way to start without a monthly subscription; organizations comparing paid options should weigh recurring cost against donation volume and the one-time plan's processing limit.
Forms, buttons, and widgets can be embedded on a website, while integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Constant Contact, Mailchimp, Webflow, Zapier, Google Analytics, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. API access, webhooks, and text-to-give add ways to connect fundraising workflows, though the listed platforms are web and API rather than native desktop or mobile apps. Donately is a fit for teams seeking broad fundraising functions and flexibility in how platform fees are paid. Organizations that need a lower platform fee without a monthly commitment, or whose needs center on a non-web workflow, should compare alternatives carefully.
