Pricing
How much does it cost for schools and organizations?
A flat 5% platform fee on campaign revenue. No monthly subscriptions, no per-text fees, no hidden charges. You only pay when you raise money.
How much does it cost for fundraising companies?
Companies choose from three plans: Starter ($0/mo + 7% fee), Growth ($49/mo + 5% fee), or Scale ($149/mo + 3.5% fee). Pick the plan that matches your volume.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The platform fee and Stripe processing fee (2.9% + 30 cents) are the only charges. Stripe fees are always passed through to the transaction, never absorbed by us. Donors can optionally cover fees at checkout.
