## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Recurring donations (most likely what you mean)
> 
> **1. Zeffy** - start here if your recurring revenue is genuinely donations. Zero platform fees *and* zero processing fees; it's funded entirely by optional donor tips at checkout. On a $100/month gift you keep $100 instead of ~$93. Handles recurring giving, event ticketing, and P2P. Trade-offs: you're relying on your donors seeing a tip prompt, the CRM side is thin, and there's no real escape hatch for complex billing.

> 
> **2. Givebutter** - best balance of free-ish pricing and actual features. No monthly fee, and platform fees drop to 0% when tipping is on; with tipping off it's 1% on donation forms, 3% on fundraising pages, 5% on events/auctions, plus 2.9% + 30¢ processing. Givebutter Plus is ~$34/mo for stewardship tools. Better forms, dashboards, and campaign tooling than Zeffy.

> 
> **3. Donorbox** - the one I'd pick if recurring monthly giving *is* the program. Strongest recurring
