Fundiful vs Goteo

Fundiful provides branded online crowdfunding campaigns for organizations raising money for causes and projects. Each organization can have a dedicated site that displays its branding and only its own campaigns. Campaign pages can include a title, description, picture, fundraising target, video, special formatting, and a custom URL; organizations can edit, deactivate, or reactivate campaigns through platform forms. Donations can be processed by Fundiful or through an organization's own merchant account. When Fundiful processes card donations, the processor's fee, described as approximately 2%, is deducted from the donation, and Fundiful says it adds no transaction fee. Payouts reach the organization's bank account in daily or weekly batches, at its option. Organizations processing at least $10,000 in monthly donations can use their own merchant account through Stripe or Authorize.net. The responsive platform is designed for mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Organizations can provide translations for selected content. Fundiful serves faith based organizations and businesses running charitable projects, but is not designed for personal fundraising. Its free plan has no startup costs or monthly fees; direct services such as setup or campaign management may incur charges.

Goteo is a crowdfunding platform for projects with social, cultural, educational, or environmental impact. Individuals and organizations can seek funding or practical collaboration for work made, produced, or distributed under free and open terms. Projects must use free or open licenses and contribute to shared knowledge or the commons. A standard campaign has two 40-day rounds, with an all-or-nothing minimum goal in the first. Campaigns describe collective returns alongside individual rewards. Contributors may offer skills, materials, infrastructure, or help with tasks instead of money. Goteo and a community of experts review registered projects and may advise on promotion, licensing, and collective returns. Backers can pay by card, PayPal when enabled by the promoter, or Goteo Virtual Purse. Its API is currently read-only, supports GET, OPTIONS, and HEAD, and offers Basic and OAuth authentication with documented rate limits. The free campaign plan is free when the minimum goal is not reached; successful projects retain 10% of funds raised.
