Operations Manager Entertainment ### "Incredible service for zero dollars" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 31, 2026 Zeffy is easy, effective, and excellent. It's a relief to be out from under the clunky and exorbitantly priced Eventbrite. Pros It's very simple to use, the interface is elegant, and the export options are excellent. With no fees it's also incredibly cost-effective at a time when every dollar counts. And we love that it's Canadian. Cons The automatic addition of a Zeffy donation is something it feels necessary to warn buyers about, but we haven't had any complaints. And the character cap on titles is a bit of a challenge for getting all the pertinent info in the bold type. Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Eventbrite is clunky, expensive, and American. BOO!

TE Timothy E.

From the beginning, the support and simplicity of setting up a fundraising campaign, felt like we made the right choice in platforms. Pros Enjoy working with Zeffy and using their products. For a non-profit organization, the amount of support and the ease of using Zeffy products is a win-win relationship. Cons So far, no issues have been experienced. The support staff and ease of using the platform means less time figuring out how to use the platform, and more time fundraising.

Field Director Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Field Director" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 16, 2026 10/10! Great support team! Ran some money through this program and it’s easy to keep track of it all! Pros The simplistically of the whole program! Customers find it very simple to navigate and sign up for a fundraising event through Zeffy! Cons How much customization you can do on the front side (on what the customer sees). Other than that that would be the only Con of Zeffy Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/) Google forms (payable forms) is way to complicated Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Saving Time and Money" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 29, 2026 Zeffy has been the major fundraising platform for The Llama Sanctuary since 2024 and it has made a huge difference to the administration. Previously, we used Mailchimp for email campaigns, Events for event booking and guided tours and separate fundraising platforms. All of that is now condensed into one entity making life so much easier and in the process, the amount of money saved in fees each year is enough to pay the feed bill for entire month! Oh! Did I mention it is absolutely free to use? Pros Zeffy is constantly improving, updating and enhancing the tools and the support team actually listens to requests and implements new features all the time. There has never been an issue with the finance aspect and The Llama Sanctuary can count on receiving a payout, on the dot, every week. Cons At the moment, Zeffy lacks some of the refinements and tools that bespoke email platforms, event organisers and online stores can offer. The email creation element is still a bit crude and clunky and site navigation can be counter-intuitive (to me at least). Switched from [FundRazr](https://www.capterra.com/p/175246/FundRazr/) [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Fees and ease of having everything under one roof!

RD Robin D. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Zeffy is the perfect tool for small non-profit collections" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 26, 2026 Very positive experience. The tutorials that are available are quite helpful, and when I did need to contact them with a question they reponded promply and resolved it for me. Pros Software is easy to use and navigate. Very short learning curve. The ability to collect funds for free without the trouble of collecting and depositing checks or cash was the strongest selling point. Cons We were collecting dues in $30 increments. The default fee to the members was relatively high. We explained how to change the fee if desired, but not everyone understood, got a few complaints as a result.

PR PATRICIA R. VP, Board of Directors Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Love Zeffy & highly recommend it!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 10, 2026 Very positive. I can actually use Zeffy (and I couldn't say that about the last product). It was relatively easy to set up. It took me days to set up the last donor database product. With Zeffy, it took an hour or two. Pros 1\. It is easy to use!!!! I am not a web developer. The last donor database product we had (AND paid for!) was difficult and frustrating to use. This is customer friendly, even for those who aren't familiar with these kinds of products. 2. It's free! 3. I believe the support is AI driven. Every time I have needed support, I had to believe I was "speaking" with a live human. It's that good. I always get the support I need in a timely fashion. That is SO important. Cons It's not that flexible. For example, I needed to reorder my contacts alphabetically and I was unable to do so. Switched from [Bloomerang Fundraising](https://www.capterra.com/p/80990/Qgiv/) Unhappy with Bloomerang functionality and the cost.

Whenever a problem arises, and that's rare, the customer service team is available and responds quickly and expertly. Pros Zeffy is free - NO FUNDRAISING CHARGES AT ALL! And, it is sooo easy to use for all your donor management work, especially getting out newsletters! Cons No complaints, I love every aspect of this working with Zeffy! It's free, it's easy, and all aspects of the product are highly professional! Switched from [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Cost for Bloomerang was outrageous! We could no longer afford it. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Artistic and Executive Director Performing Arts ### "All that for free?!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 12, 2025 I’ve had a great experience switching to Zeffy and look forward to seeing what cool, free features they add next! Pros The fact that this product is free to use is incredible. Being able to process payments online so seamlessly without being charged an arm and a leg (in fact without being charged a cent!) is a fundraising game changer for small non-profits like ours! The interface is very user friendly, intuitive even, and extracting data from campaigns is quick and easy. With their new POS app that can be downloaded onto any phone, they’ve saved us the need to purchase a square reader: staff and volunteers can just download the app and begin scanning tickets or taking donations! Cons The product is still new so it doesn’t have quite as many features as other similar products. However, they are highly responsive to customer feedback and constantly adding new features to meet the evolving needs of the non-profit community. Switched from [Wix Bookings](https://www.capterra.com/p/14148/Wix-Bookings/) [Wix Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/10030701/Wix-Payments/) We found the fees for processing payments too high.

En tous points. Les paiements sont automatisés, tout comme les reçus pour fins d'impôt des donateurs. Pros La plateforme Zeffy est conviviale, gratuite et efficace. Le soutien technique apporté par son équipe est diligent et cordial. Bravo! Cons Le seul inconvénient à mon avis est que la plateforme sollicite des dons auprès des clients. mais comme rien n'est gratuit, on comprend.

TM Trina M.

It tracked donations as well as ticket sales and gave me spreadsheets whenever I needed. Staff were very helpful and quick to respond to tickets. Great experience. Made tracking my event sales so much easier. Pros Zeffy was very easy to install and very user friendly. I watched the tutorials and created my event and ticket info in minutes. Staff were very helpful when I needed some additional info and they responded quickly. Cons I like the program Zeffy and how it works. I don't like receiving daily emails from Zeffy particularly when I am not doing a fundraiser at the moment. Alternatives considered [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Reasons for choosing Zeffy Zeffy is a Canadian company and did not charge additional fees for Non profit organizations.
