Donately's pricing varies based on the tier. Our features and pricing structure are designed to grow with your organization, giving you the tools you need at an affordable rate no matter what stage you are in. Our 4 "pay as you go" tiers are:
- Free
- Starter
- Team
- Enterprise
Additionally, Donately has started licensing its platform tool for those who would benefit from lowered platform fees and a one-time cost to own the software you use. You can license Donately forever, starting at $500-one time fee, with a small maintenance fee as low as 0.5% -- learn more about that here.
Below is an overview of each tier's cost. For more detailed feature information, please see our pricing page. If you have additional questions about how upgraded features can increase engagement with your donors, reach out to our support team for guidance or a demo.
Note that Donately's pricing does not include Stripe or PayPal's processing fees, which are laid out at the bottom of this article. Finally, remember that we offer the ability to allow donors to optionally cover the fees for both Donately and Stripe/PayPal on any donation, which can reduce the net cost of using the platform.

Payment Processing
As mentioned previously, the fees above do not include payment processing fees charged by our payments partners, Stripe or PayPal. Both platforms have no fixed monthly fees, set-up fees, gateway fees, or contracts.
- For credit cards & PayPal donations, fees start at 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for individuals & for-profit organizations.
- For Bank transfer (ACH) donations, Stripe charges 0.8% per donation, with a cap of $5. That means any donation over $625 via ACH only incurs a Stripe charge of $5, making it a great option for bigger donations.
Both platforms also offer discounts for nonprofits! Check out more details below:
