Event.Gives vs Givelify

Event.Gives is web software for ticketing, attendee management, donations, and fundraising events. Organizers can run live and silent auctions, virtual or hybrid events, golf tournaments, and peer-to-peer fundraising, as well as use embedded donation forms. Its tools include online ticketing, auction management, live streaming, mobile bidding, raffles, text-to-donate, real-time reporting, mobile checkout, instant payout, and recurring donations. An AI item-description generator creates auction copy aligned with DISC personality profiles. Checkout accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards, and ticket and donation funds transfer through the organization’s Stripe account. Event.Gives says it does not collect or store card details. Integrations include Double the Donation, Raiser's Edge NXT, Stripe, Zoom, and Twilio. The service lists a free plan, Basic at $99 a month, Professional at $2,495 a year, and Enterprise at $3,495 a year. Its calculator lists 3.5% plus $0.30 per credit card transaction and a 4.5% platform fee; attendees may cover fees.

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.
