Final Takeaway
Imagine a fundraising platform that not only saves you money but also betters your campaigns with expert-led tools!
BetterWorld has a lot going for it, especially as a free fundraising platform that’s great for organizations looking to get started without extra costs. It’s got a solid lineup of fundraiser options, and that’s something worth appreciating.
But when you take a look at RallyUp, you see a platform that builds on those strengths and offers a bit more to make your efforts really stand out.
RallyUp comes with features like “Create My Campaign,” where experts step in to help you put together a fundraiser that hits the mark, and “Optimize My Campaign” tools that let our experts adjust things quickly and easily as you go.
While BetterWorld does a great job keeping things straightforward, RallyUp gives you the ability to run several activities at once—like a Raffle, Events, Auction, Store and more—all on one page.
It’s a natural step up, giving you the tools to do more without costly subscriptions.
Whichever you choose, we know you’re working for a great cause. We wish you, your donors, and cause have the most successful fundraiser yet!
An easy to use high-performance leader. RallyUp is approved!

Hosting our online auction on RallyUp was such a win! We were able to customize the platform to showcase not only the items up for auction but our cause and mission with ease and the customer service couldn’t be beat. We will definitely turn to RallyUp again in the future!
