  • Pricing
    RallyUp includes all tools up front, whether you choose our Free or Flex pricing. No contracts or commitments. Switch anytime. Classy’s pricing varies by organization, with fees that may impact smaller budgets.
  • Campaign Options
    RallyUp’s 10 campaign types (Raffles, Auction, etc.) keep donors engaged and prevent fatigue. Classy’s ~5 core types are suitable for traditional campaigns but offer less variety and innovation.
  • Support Services
    RallyUp’s fundraising experts will build your campaign for you for free, and so much more. Classy’s responsive support is strong, but premium options are often prioritized for larger clients.

  • Pricing:
    RallyUp’s no-commitment model includes all tools up front, letting you fundraise freely without extra costs. Clear pricing with optional donor tips lets you keep 100% of donations, saving thousands annually (e.g., $3,100+ vs. Qgiv’s $259/month auction plan). Qgiv’s transparent pricing is clear but grows costly with premium features. 
     
  • Fundraising Options:
    RallyUp offers 10 engaging fundraisers to prevent donor fatigue and encourage participation. Qgiv’s ~5 core types are solid for traditional fundraising but less diverse.
