Donr vs Flocknote

Donr is web-based fundraising technology for UK charities, combining campaign management, text donations, raffles, and reporting. A secure dashboard manages multiple campaigns, while Text Giving accepts one-time or monthly donations through supporters’ phone bills or prepaid credit. Charities can create unlimited keywords, customize messages, collect Gift Aid, and enable recurring donations. Reporting shows donations in real time. Text Raffles support suggested donation amounts and tailored supporter messages, with a free-entry option that Donr says supports relevant gambling-regulation compliance. The service lists direct billing connections with EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone. Donr says it regularly tests platform security, separates donations in a Barclays client premium account, and limits personal-data access to people with a business need. Text Giving and Text Raffles each cost £5 a month, with 5% plus VAT per donation and processing capped at £5 plus VAT per monthly payment.

The Starter plan is free for life for 0–40 members; for 41–50 members it costs $10 monthly, and for 51–70 members it costs $17 monthly. Complete costs $75 a month plus the Starter price based on total members; for 0–40 members, it costs $75. Enterprise has custom pricing for diocesan and multi-campus organizations. U.S. plans include online giving without setup or monthly fees, but transaction fees are 1.1% plus 30¢ for ACH and 2.9% plus 30¢ for credit or debit cards. Administrators are advised to use a mobile browser; members can receive messages without downloading an app. Flocknote is web-based and offers email support.
