## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The best choice depends on what you're billing for: recurring donations, membership dues, or real subscriptions like a magazine or paid content. Here's what I'd recommend, in order:
> 
> 1. **Zeffy**: Where I'd start for most small and mid-sized nonprofits. Recurring gifts (monthly, quarterly or yearly), tiered memberships with renewals, events and a donor CRM are all free. The nonprofit keeps 100% because Zeffy is paid through an optional tip that donors are asked for at checkout. The downside is that some donors don't like the tip prompt. https://www.zeffy.com/feature/recurring-donations, https://www.zeffy.com/home/membership-application-form-nonprofits-associations
> 
> 2. **Givebutter**: Also free through donor tips, with recurring plans and membership forms. It accepts Venmo, Cash App, ACH and cards, which helps with younger donors. If you turn tips off, it charges a flat 3% plus card processing fees. https://givebutter.com/pricing, https://givebutter.com/features/membership-management
> 
> 3. **Wild Apricot**: Best if membership dues are the main thing you bill (associations, clubs). It includes automatic renewals, a member portal, events, email and a website builder. It costs about $60-
