Excluding Gateway Fees
We removed processing fees (Stripe/PayPal) from the calculation. You pay those regardless of platform. The savings shown are purely from eliminating the platform surcharge.
The VarGive Difference
VarGive is Enterprise Open Source. You pay a one-time implementation fee and a flat annual support retainer. We do not take a cut of your donations.
Common Questions
No. VarGive is a premium enterprise platform. You pay for the software implementation and a flat annual fee for 24/7 support, hosting, and security. The difference is that our price is fixed. It does not go up just because you raise more money.
