Flipcause vs Fundraise Up Comparison

Any time we have a question, we get it answered by their staff and they are incredibly responsive to our needs.

They need to get their text to give campaigns up and running so that we can continue to fundraise in a manner that appeals to all supporters.

I love this software because it helps me to stay organized & stay in touch with donors. It also helps me to fundraise. The staff at flipcause are incredibly helpful.

There’s not really anything I dislike about Flipcause

This software has been a life saver as far as increasing our engagement as an organization. As a small organization, having the ability to fundraise, capture donor information, create student registration forms AND have a website created has saved me countless hours and has freed me up to actually do the work necessary to our foundation.

Starting out, the software wasn't as intuitive as I might have liked. There were some glitches when we set up our first campaign, but after learning more, I think we have worked out the kinks going forward.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to your Success Team whenever you need support with your campaign settings- they're happy to assist you in getting the job done!

With my small organization, Flipcause allows us to keep website updated without multiple people learning the software.

I would like better volunteer management. Ability to schedule and follow up via SMS and allow online sign up.

We use the Flipcause platform as an affordable web host that provides an adequate solution for accepting online donations.

It would be excellent if we could have donations deposited directly into our bank account

CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS BY FAR EXCEPTIONAL AND INTERFACING THE WEBSITE WAS A BREEZE

SETTING UP BANK ACCOUNTS AND MOBILE PROCESSING OF CREDIT CARDS

I love the way Flipcause integrates so many previously separate functions under one easy and efficient roof: event registration, payment, sponsorship, volunteer management, campaign landing page, in-kind donation offering and even website. Since our nonprofit has a very small staff, it makes it so much easier

The Weebly website is functional, easy to set-up and perform basic editing. However the options for appearance is quite limited and needs professional coding to make it look really professional and slick.

Hi Karen, Thanks for the review! It's so great that you love the way you can use different functions all in one place, and we love to hear that you've stayed with us for so long. Please continue to reach out to us for support. We're here for you and looking forward to continuing to support your organization's needs.

I can email and the staff set up things quickly

I dont know how to use it by myself or how to make campaigns

The access to a technical support team to help set up campaigns

Trying to figure out how to create the reports I need.

Flipcause it pretty user-friendly but the best part is their customer support if very knowledgable and very responsive, and anything we can't easily figure out they help us with quickly!

Some of the campaign set up can be tricky for someone with no web/tech skills.

Campaign management Website management Set-up to be fundraising platform once we turn 501c3

We would love to also run our membership platform through FlipCause as a revenue stream and not a fundraising stream and currently this is not possible. We would like to be able to decipher between donors and members. We would also like for there to be ways to directly register folks who opt into our mailing list to our MailChimp and Mighty Networks accounts

Hi Jill, Thanks for leaving us a review! We're happy to hear that you find Flipcause as a great, accessible, affordable, and solid platform.

The option for donors to pay the processing fees means a lot to our bottom line. The support has been outstanding!

Had to learn new procedures, but not difficult.

I like the easy way we can set up campaigns, and then communicate with people that sign up or donate to that campaign. The interface is very flexible and thorough. Creating a website with Flipcause has also been easy to do, as is maintaining it.

It is missing a relational database which would be very useful to us. In addition, it doesn't have a batch mailer capability so we have to maintain a separate database for emailing people.

Hi Thea, Thanks for leaving us a review! That's so great to hear that you're able to raise more money, set up campaigns and create your website with ease, and communicate with people who sign up or donate to your campaigns. We're also glad that you find your Success team phenomenal and extremely helpful. I'll be sure to relay your kind words to them. Mass emailing is definitely on our roadmap. I'll be sure to communicate with you as we get closer to a release date. And please continue to reach out to us for support. We're here for you and looking forward to continuing to support your organization's needs.

Ease of use. Excellent service, help, and ideas. Concierge service sets up event registration which saves time

Cannot think of anything. It seems a bit plain. Multiple log-ins. Sometimes I work weekends but must wait until Monday to get an answer or help.

Gives user agency in setting up own page for peer to peer. The bar that tracks fundraising progress.

Each time that you edit a tab you have to hit save to advance to the next section, even if you have made no changes. Difficult to make many edits at once.

I recommend Flipcause to all other non-profits because the website interface/update is integrated with all campaigns, CRM and you it's a subscription service where you always get support. I've used numerous other platforms and this by far is the easiest, user-friendly and easily understood by my staff members and Board members.

The only con is we are still cleaning up the data integration from past data-- maybe better integration with Quickbooks?

Hi Erica, Thanks for the review! We're pleased to hear that you and your team have all found Flipcause to be user-friendly. And we love hearing that your Success Team has been friendly and responsive, especially during times when you are launching a campaign. We know how stressful it can be coordinating all the details and launching a successful campaign, and we'll continue to be there for you as you launch more! Also, thanks for your feedback about data and QuickBooks integration. I'll pass it along to our development team. We look forward to building out more functionality to even better serve you. And please continue to reach out to your Success Team if you need support with your data.

The peer to peer fundraising has the power to reach people in an exponential way, but very easy to roll out. Mostly the program is intuitive and takes almost no training.

I couldn't move the pictures around as easily as I would have liked. Not all of the set up is intuitive.

Where do I start?? We are a fiscal sponsor for 35 different organizations. We used to use our merchant account to take in all of the donations and I had to write donor letters for every single one. Also there was no way for donors to offer to pay the fee, so that took away from the donation. Now each sponsored organization and manage its own campaign, the donor letters are sent out automatically and we have the reports to keep track of everyone's funds.

Our sponsored organizations are not particularly tech-savvy. We had to record a Zoom video to train them on how to get set up and use the features. It would be great if Flipcause could do one comprehensive set-up video for the basics instead of a single how-to video for each feature.

Hi Stacey, Thanks so much for the review! We love hearing that Flipcause has made both your sponsored organizations' and your lives much easier! I can see how processing donations for all 35 of your sponsored organizations could be very time-consuming so we're happy to hear you've benefited from the automatic thank you letters and each of your sponsored organizations being able to manage their own campaigns. And thanks for your suggestion of having a set-up video for new fiscally sponsored organizations. I'll be sharing this feedback with the team. Don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!

Myself and my co-workers find it intuitive and easy to use. The support team has been incredibly prompt and dedicated to customer service.

I found setting up the permissions for admins a little confusing. I spoke with the Flipcause and have a really good understanding now.

Hi Michael, thank you for your review! It makes us so happy to hear that we've been able to provide you with an easier solution to Eventbrite and PayPal, that's what we set out to do! Don't hesitate to let us know how else we can make your life easier.

Ease of use, ease of exports for syncing up with other softwares (accounting, database, email applications), and STAFF SUPPORT and availability.

Wish I could make edits to info entered by donors.

The adaptability for use by our 150+ member projects has been really helpful. The donation money arrives in the account quickly and it the reports are clear.

We gave up on the ticketing system because it wasn't user friendly. Data entry was painfully slow and other ticketing services run more smoothly.

The ability to post appeals for donations and to collect money is so simple and easy that it has allowed us to raise more money in the last six months than in our first 3 years.

Sometimes the website designer doesn't do things we would like to do. We have to figure out how to get the things up we want.

Flipcause folks have been wonderful to work with. Fast response time and always following up. At one time they also sent us a device to use to make selling our book easier. We didn't have this software. I think the fact that our donors receive an instant Flipcause thank you is very good. Even though we send each donor our own STC Thank you letter.

I have zero negative comments about Flipcause after using it for a number of years.

Hi Sheila, Thanks for leaving us a review! We're happy to hear that you're pleased with the timely support you have received from your Success Team. We're here for you and looking forward to continuing to support your organization!

The campaign set-up is relatively easy, the widget is easy to imbed on a website. Customer service is good, responsive.I like the customizable reports

About custom reports: I wish I could set a preference so I don't have to select all the categories every time I run a reportThe bank transfers seem to take a really long time to arrive which is challenging for bookkeepingToo bad folks have to pay fees to give away money...

Hi Martha, Thanks for leaving a review! We're happy to hear that you can easily set up the campaigns and embed the widgets into your website. We're also glad that you find the service of your Success team to be good. Also, thanks for sharing your feedback about custom reports and funds transfer time. I'll be sure to let the team know about this. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!

The versatility and the current up to date features that are user friendly. The help recourses available are very easy to navigate and help a lot.

The only thing that really is a bother sometimes is the amount of options. Sometimes you can get lost looking for something if you do not search up help or assistance.
