RallyUp

RallyUp suits a fundraiser combining several activities, such as admission, a silent auction and a donation appeal. Work through the activity mix before choosing Free or Flex. Advanced live-event tools and donor prompts make that choice more consequential than the headline platform fee.

Honest Limitations

Free and Flex differ in scope

Free uses optional donor tips. Flex adds advanced live-event capabilities and activity-based fees; the chosen campaign plan cannot change after launch.

Activity fees are separate from processing

Flex ticketing is 2.9%, auctions and several donation activities 4.9%, and raffles/sweepstakes 6.9%. Apply each rate to its corresponding activity rather than stacking all rates.

Campaign format requires an eligibility check

Confirm which raffle, sweepstakes and other fundraising formats RallyUp permits for the organisation and its location before building the campaign.

Confirm support during the event

Jennifer T. reported in July 2026 that chat support was unavailable during her Saturday-evening benefit. Confirm coverage for the event date; this individual account does not establish the current support schedule.

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Published processor range is 1.9–2.9% + $0.30 per transaction; confirm the actual processor rate.
  • ! An optional custom domain has a one-time $99 fee.
  • ! Advanced live-event scope, donor tips, taxes, refunds and payouts need a campaign-specific check.

Build a test campaign around one realistic basket: a table booking, an auction win and a donation. Review the donor prompt and finance export, and train the people who will manage checkout before locking the pricing plan.

The fit assessment follows documented product scope. Dated user reviews describe individual experiences; no hands-on test or vendor interview is claimed.
