Raisely

Raisely suits charities combining a campaign website, individual or team fundraising and event registration. It is especially relevant to activity challenges, but compare the donor-tip model with the 4% alternative and include processing, Pro and special transaction charges where applicable.

Honest Limitations

Turning off tips changes platform cost

The default model asks donors for an optional tip. Turning that prompt off normally applies 4% excluding tax, unless an enterprise arrangement applies; payment processing remains additional.

Advanced features have a separate subscription

Pro is listed for some integrations, automation, SAML SSO, tags/segments and email journeys. The current page gives US$119 monthly or US$714 annually.

Some payment streams have their own charges

The pricing FAQ lists 2% excluding tax on migrated regular-giver payments and on donations through the described Facebook/Instagram fundraiser integration. Confirm current availability and treatment before using either.

Customization can involve code or support

Amina M.'s February 2025 G2 account described receiving CSS and page-error help. Martyn R.'s July 2025 account reported a smooth experience. Neither establishes that every design change is a no-code task.

Hidden Costs to Watch

! Stripe/PayPal charges vary by country, method and nonprofit agreement.
! The displayed 1.4%+30¢ processor example is specifically an Australian nonprofit illustration, not a global rate.
! Tax, third-party integration or partner implementation costs may be additional.
! The tip-off option, Pro subscription and special-stream fees need account-specific treatment rather than automatic stacking.

Use the event rehearsal to connect the participant journey: register, create a fundraiser page, record activity, receive a donation and appear on the correct team leaderboard. Check the actual ticket fields and mobile layout, not just the campaign homepage.

Raisely and Keela remain distinct products within Velora. A documented connection may be useful, but confirm data mapping and subscription scope. Keep all fee examples tied to the country, payment route and tip setting you will actually use.

The fit assessment follows documented scope. Reviews are dated individual accounts; no hands-on product test or vendor interview is claimed.
