Givebear vs MemberOrganizer

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.

MemberOrganizer combines member records, communication, enrollment, invoicing, and accounting for clubs and other member-based organizations. Records can include custom fields, groups, and activities, with search to find members. Users can send newsletters, emails, SMS, and letters to everyone or selected groups, using templates and attachments. Online enrollment covers memberships, teams, and events, with optional card or MobilePay payment at registration. Billing supports bulk invoices with individual amounts, automated reminders, card payments, and direct debit. Accounting includes a ledger, chart of accounts, budgets, and annual reports; payments and invoices can flow into the books automatically. Members can update their details, view invoices, and manage activity sign-ups through a portal or mobile app. The service is web-based and requires no software installation; Android and iOS are listed too. Monthly prices exclude VAT and start at €110 a month for 0–300 members, rising to €290 a month for 1,501–2,000. The maker asks organizations above 2,000 members to contact it.
