RallyUp vs.
GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy)

No. GoFundMe Pro has no free tier and no published rate card — pricing is custom and combines an annual upfront subscription with a per-donation transaction fee, on top of processing of 2.4% + $0.30 on cards. RallyUp has a free plan with no platform fee, funded by optional donor tips, and RallyUp Donation Pages charge no platform fee and ask donors for no tip at all. If you would rather pay a flat platform fee, RallyUp’s Flex plan charges by Component, from 0% on Donation Pages and Peer-to-Peer up to 6.9% on Raffles, with no subscription and no contract. See RallyUp pricing.

No. GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) has no raffle or 50/50 item type — its four item types are silent auction, live auction, paddle raise and fixed price — and raffles are not offered as a standalone campaign type. RallyUp runs raffles as a first-class Component: Single-Prize, Multi-Prize, 50/50 and Enhanced 50/50 where you choose the split, such as 60/40. RallyUp draws the winner automatically inside the platform and shows the winner’s live prize total on the campaign page. Raffles cost 6.9% on RallyUp’s Flex plan, or nothing on the free plan with optional donor tips.

GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) does not publish its plan fees. It sells an Essentials plan for organizations under $1M in revenue and an Enterprise plan above that, priced custom as an annual upfront subscription plus a per-donation fee, with processing at 2.4% + $0.30 on cards, from 2.5% + $0.30 on PayPal and Venmo, and an extra 1% on American Express. RallyUp publishes everything: a free plan, or Flex pricing at 2.9%–6.9% per Component with several Components at 0%, plus processing of 2.9% + $0.30 or 1.9% + $0.30 on ACH. There is no subscription, no contract and no sales call.

RallyUp, decisively. On GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy), auctions arrive through Live Events, a paid add-on, live auction bids “cannot be tracked,” and the platform treats each won item or donation as its own transaction, so a guest who wins three items is charged three times. RallyUp runs auctioneer-led Live Auction, Paddle Raise+, Fund-a-Need and Live Display, and Event Balances gives each guest one tab all night that settles with a single charge — line-free checkout, instant or automatic. Ninety percent of those payments complete in under a minute and 50% fewer post-event follow-ups are needed.

Not natively. GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) supports livestreaming only through integrations with third-party platforms such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live, and livestreaming is not one of its standalone features. RallyUp has Livestreaming built in as a Component, with fundraising games and item spotlights that drive instant donations while you are on air, at a 0% platform fee on the Flex plan. Because it is a Component, a RallyUp livestream can share one page and one checkout with a raffle, an auction, ticketing or a store in the same fundraiser.

RallyUp is the stronger choice for event-driven fundraising, because GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) offers no raffles, auctions, sweepstakes, store or livestreaming as standalone features and puts auctions behind the paid Live Events add-on. RallyUp offers 12+ stackable Components that can run in one fundraiser with one URL and one checkout, and organizations that combine campaign types raise 38% more on average. There is no annual subscription, no contract and no demo requirement — you can launch the same day, and RallyUp’s fundraising experts will build your campaign free. Have RallyUp build it for you.
