Understand: RallyUp Pricing Options

Learn more about the differences between RallyUp's pricing options.

Coming May 2nd!

RallyUp offers two ways to use our fundraising platform without a subscription: Free and Unlimited pricing. You don't need to worry about being locked into a plan, since you can switch anytime depending on your fundraising needs. You'll choose a default pricing option in your account settings, but you can select a different pricing option for individual Experiences.

The main differences between Free and Unlimited pricing are the Platform Fee and the types of fundraising Activities available.

Free Pricing

This option may be right for you if:

  • You don't want to pay a Platform Fee
  • You don't want to run an Auction or Livestream

Donor Tipping

With Free pricing, donors can optionally tip RallyUp during checkout:

These tips go directly to RallyUp to cover operation costs and help us continually improve our fundraising services. Leaving a tip is optional. If none of your donors tip at all, you still won't be charged a Platform Fee.

Note that all payments will still be subject to payment processing fees, which are set by Stripe or PayPal to cover the cost of their services. Payment processing fees aren't set or charged by RallyUp, and we don’t receive any profit from them. Learn more about payment processing fees in the following Knowledge Base article: Understand: Credit Card Processing Fees.

Unlimited Pricing

This option may be right for you if:

  • You don't want to ask donors to tip
  • You want to ask donors to tip and keep the tips
  • You want to run an Auction or Livestream
  • You need additional features (see Additional Activities and Features below)

Donor Tipping

With Unlimited pricing, donors can leave a tip at checkout, and tips go to your organization. The tipping question is fully customizable, including the header, body, and tip amounts:

The 7.5% Platform Fee is calculated from the final amount raised. It's possible to receive enough tips to cover the Platform Fee and then some. In that case, your organization keeps all the extra revenue.

Donor Tipping is enabled by default, but if you prefer not to ask donors to tip, you can disable it anytime.

Unlimited pricing also unlocks other ways to offset fundraising costs:

  • Ask or require donors to cover the Platform Fee
  • Require donors to cover the payment processing fees
  • Add a convenience fee (dollar amount or percentage) to each transaction
