RallyUp vs.
Donorbox 

There is no $0 Donorbox plan — a platform fee applies on every tier, running 2.95%–3.95% depending on what you are running, and the Pro plan costs $150/month. Donor tips can be turned off in exchange for a flat 3% platform fee, and processing is separate on top. RallyUp’s free plan carries no platform fee at all, with optional donor tips, and RallyUp Donation Pages are free with no platform fee and no donor tipping required. If you want tipping off elsewhere on RallyUp, Flex pricing is component-based, from 0% on Donation Pages, Peer-to-Peer and Livestreaming up to 6.9% on raffles and sweepstakes.

No — raffles are not documented as a Donorbox feature, and neither sweepstakes, auctions nor an online store are offered natively. RallyUp runs all of them: Single-Prize, Multi-Prize, 50/50, and Enhanced 50/50 raffles with your own split such as 60/40, an automatic in-platform draw with winner notification, and online, silent and auctioneer-led live auctions with the platform auction fee capped at $100 per item on Flex. Sweepstakes are a full RallyUp Component with no-purchase-necessary infrastructure. Rules for selling raffle entries vary by state and locality, so check your local guidance before you launch.

Donorbox’s Standard plan has no monthly fee but charges 2.95% on donation forms, fundraising pages, QuickDonate, crowdfunding and org-run peer-to-peer, and 3.95% on event ticketing, memberships and supporter peer-to-peer pages. Pro is $150/month at 1.75%–2%, Premium is custom-priced, crypto and stock gifts are 3.95%, and add-ons include $50/month for the Live Kiosk, $19–$50/month for Text-to-Give and $85/month for custom CSS — all before Stripe or PayPal processing. RallyUp has no contracts, subscriptions or setup fees: a free plan at 0% platform fee, or component-based Flex fees from 0% to 6.9%. See RallyUp pricing.

RallyUp, by a wide margin — Donorbox’s in-person gala tools are not documented, with no live auction, paddle raise, room display or per-guest tab. RallyUp is built for the whole night: Event Balances give each guest one tab across bids, gifts and purchases that settles in a single charge, with line-free checkout that is instant or fully automatic, plus auctioneer-led live auctions, Paddle Raise+, Fund-a-Need and Live Display. Ninety percent of Event Balances payments complete in under a minute and guests on auto-checkout spend zero minutes in line. Event teams can rehearse the entire evening with volunteers in Power Preview before the campaign is published.

No — Donorbox states that “it is not possible to use Stripe’s test card details with Donorbox.org to send test donations,” so the first real transaction through your form is a real donor’s. RallyUp’s Power Preview runs real test card transactions through actual checkout on a draft campaign, including test bids on auction items, test ticket purchases and test receipts, then deletes all test data automatically when you publish. It is available on every RallyUp plan, including Free, with unlimited attempts, though only card transactions can be simulated today.

It does, but only for donation-style fundraising — Donorbox Peer-to-Peer has no raffle, auction or livestream fundraising for supporters, and org-run and supporter-run pages are priced at 2.95% and 3.95% respectively. On RallyUp, Peer-to-Peer runs across donations and crowdfunding plus raffles, sweepstakes, A-Thons, events and ticketing, store and livestream, so supporters can sell raffle entries or tickets on your behalf, not just collect gifts. Peer-to-Peer carries a 0% platform fee on RallyUp’s Flex plan, and a RallyUp expert will set the campaign up for you free at Create My Campaign.
