There are many technologies out there to support nonprofits, schools, and associations. Some don’t have auction capabilities, guest management, or CRM features to best support your goals.

GiveSmart is the built-to-grow fundraising and donor management solution that can do it all. When compared to Classy, there are some key differences that you should consider when deciding which solution will work best for your nonprofit, school, or association and your donors.

GiveSmart vs. OneCause_Extra-Images

No Hidden Fees. No Surprises. Just Smarter Fundraising.

We get it—fundraising should be simple, and your hard-earned donations should go toward your mission, not unexpected fees. That’s why GiveSmart keeps pricing clear and upfront, with no sneaky costs or surprises. While other platforms may tack on extra fees that eat into your total, we believe in full transparency, so you always know what to expect.

Why Fundraisers Love GiveSmart’s Pricing:

  1. No hidden fees – You'll always know what to expect from the start, with only industry standard credit card processing fees.
  2. No usage costs – No additional platform fees, per-transaction fees, or donor tipping toward your platform.
  3. No confusion - Whether ticketing, Peer-to-Peer campaign or donation form, the credit card processing fee is the same across the board, unlike the chaotic fee structure of other platforms.
  4. Fundraising made simple – Smart, transparent, and designed for your success, so you keep more of what you raise for your mission.

" ... we were looking for a product that would help us streamline online donations, make it easier to people to donate from their phones, and set up fundraisers on their own. Looked into Classy and Blackbaud's peer-to-peer products. Went with GiveSmart because they offered the same services without a transaction fee for each donation...”

Auctions, Mobile Bidding, Event Guest Management, and Donor Management

GiveSmart’s full suite of features doesn’t require multiple add-ons to support your mission and goals.

GS_Onecause-49
Our straightforward plans are designed with the modern nonprofit in mind, without the need, and cost, of constant à la carte add-ons and hidden fees.
GS_Onecause-51
Our auction and mobile bidding tools feature easy-to-use item procurement, an engaging leaderboard, easy-to-surf auction campaigns, contactless check-out, and more.
GS_Onecause-50
Our Donor CRM offers an easy-to-use, donor-centered solution that moves your mission forward.

Classy’s hefty price tag can balloon even more with added fees - like a service fee in addition to payment processing, subscription and per-transaction fees. For similar, easy-to-use features at a set price with only industry standard payment processing fees, GiveSmart is the award-winning choice.
