Givable vs Fundraise Up

A conversion-focused donation layer with performance-based pricing. It syncs to your CRM rather than being one.

The short answer

Fundraise Up is a checkout that syncs into the CRM you already run. Givable is the whole platform: your donor CRM, Stories, email journeys, AI, and giving in one place, with a rate you can read before you talk to anyone.

Fundraise Up details from Fundraise Up's own published pages. Last reviewed September 2026. "Not published" means we could not confirm it from an official page.

How pricing works

Both charge on each online gift, with payment processing on top, and donors can cover fees on either. Only one publishes its rate.

	Givable	Fundraise Up
Platform rate	3% on Standard, published	Not published. Its docs describe a platform fee based on your donation volume
How you find out	Read it on the pricing page	Request a demo or talk to sales
Crypto gifts	Not offered	5% fee on crypto donations
Contracts and setup fees	None	None

Worked example. On $10,000 a month in online gifts, Givable Standard is $300 in platform fees, a number you can budget for today. With Fundraise Up you learn your rate after a sales conversation.
