Givebear vs Intavera

Givebear provides donation kiosks and online giving for mosques, churches, schools, nonprofits and other community organizations. Donors can give at a kiosk, through a donation page or QR code, or by paying membership dues and event tickets. Gifts are recorded against the fund selected by the donor, and gifts and recurring plans from these sources appear together in a donor history. Givebear sends email receipts and year-end statements and provides reports exportable by fund and date range. Its 21.5-inch kiosk accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless cards, with English, Arabic, Spanish and Turkish support. It can accept one-time gifts offline, but recurring gifts need a live connection. Donation forms can be embedded on named website builders, and a QuickBooks Online connection can post payout journal entries split by fund, with fees and refunds broken out. Stripe processes card payments; Givebear says its servers receive tokenized payment references, not raw card numbers. The Free plan is free and carries a 5.9% platform fee per gift; Plus is $29 a month and Growth is $39 a month, billed annually at the listed rates. Stripe processing is passed through at cost.
