Donately vs Givelify

Donately is an online fundraising platform for accepting donations and managing donor activity. It provides branded donation pages with custom messaging, branding, drag-and-drop editing, mobile optimization, and recurring giving. Campaign pages can include rich media, live fundraising thermometers, peer-to-peer and team fundraising, custom branding, and social sharing. Donation forms and widgets embed on websites, landing pages, or blogs without redirects or coding. Donor tools include profiles, donation tracking, segmentation, automated receipts, reporting, exports, and retention insights. Native integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Slack, and Constant Contact, while Zapier connects to thousands of tools. An API supports sending or updating donation information in external systems. Payments can use Stripe or PayPal, Google and Apple wallets, multiple currencies, and one-time or recurring gifts. Donately lists PCI compliance, HTTPS on forms, fraud-prevention tools, and GDPR and CCPA support. It runs on the web and through an API. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $99/mo.

Givelify connects people with places of worship, nonprofits, and causes so they can give through its mobile app, online, on social media, or at live events. Organizations can use Analytics Studio to track donations by day, month, or donor, review donor statistics such as giving frequency and trends, and export data for financial management systems.

Givelify lists integrations including Shelby Next, Shelby Arena, Power Church, Servant Keeper, ACS Realm, and ACS People, and says Analytics Studio integrations are free. The platform runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Its app is available in English and Spanish, with bilingual resources for organizations. Givelify says it verifies organizations and safeguards personal and payment information through secure payment processing. Its support center says the app does not store a giver's card information on their phone.
