Best GoFundMe Alternative

Free to start. No platform fees.
How SupportNow compares to GoFundMe
Both platforms help you collect donations. The difference is everything that happens around the donation: the fees, the focus, and the support your family actually receives.
- 1. When supporters round up, the beneficiary receives 100% of donations. This is unique to SupportNow. If supporters do not round up, we are proud to offer the industry's lowest 2.7% credit card processing cost, and SupportNow never adds platform fees.
- 2. GoFundMe transaction fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation, per gofundme.com/c/pricing, as of July 2026.
- 3. GoFundMe tip suggestions vary by donation amount and are adjustable, including to zero. As of July 2026.
- 4. Based on GoFundMe donor-facing promotions of additional causes, donor advised funds, and nonprofit giving, as of July 2026.

You reach real people, not a help center
When your family is carrying a lot, you should not have to dig through help articles for answers. On GoFundMe, support starts at a help center. Here, it starts with a person. Call, text, chat, or email and a real human answers, from setup to payout.

Frequently asked questions
Why do families choose SupportNow over GoFundMe?
SupportNow helps families keep more money. GoFundMe deducts 2.9% + $0.30 from every donation and asks donors for an additional tip, while SupportNow lets supporters cover processing costs through an optional RoundUp, helping families keep 100% of donations when selected.
SupportNow also combines fundraising, meals, updates, volunteers, and community support in one place, giving families more than a donation page.
How much does it cost?
Creating a Support Registry is completely free. Families can organize meals, volunteers, updates, and more without monthly subscription fees or paid feature upgrades.
If fundraising is enabled, supporters have the option to help cover standard payment processing costs so families keep more of the money raised.
What if we already started a GoFundMe?
You do not have to start over. A Support Registry can display an existing GoFundMe campaign alongside meals, volunteer help, and updates, so your community has one place to show up.
Many families keep both running and point new supporters to SupportNow, so more of each gift reaches the family.
