Why your effective rate is actually 0–1%.

When a donor covers the fee, the processing cost comes out of the amount they added — not your donation. On a $100 gift, 90%+ of donors add roughly $4 to cover the fee. You receive $100. Your cost: $0.

That's how 0–1% happens. And it's not a trick — it's what happens when you ask donors honestly instead of guilt-prompting them for a tip.

Every fundraising tool on every plan.

When you upgrade, you're getting faster payouts, more seats and more support — plus a website on your own domain. Never a fundraising feature you should have had from day one.

Pricing questions

The questions we get most — answered straight.

Is there a setup fee? ▾
No. Creating a SmartChange account is completely free. The Standard plan is free forever with no monthly subscription — you only pay when donations come in, at 3.75% + 25¢ per transaction. Growth ($25/mo) and Professional ($75/mo) add a flat monthly subscription that lowers your per-transaction rate.
What's the difference between donor fee coverage and a tip prompt? ▾
A tip prompt asks donors to fund the platform — and typically defaults to on, making it awkward to decline. Donor fee coverage shows donors the exact processing cost and asks, once and clearly, if they'd like to cover it so 100% of their gift reaches your cause. No guilt, no tricks. That's why 90% say yes. It's a big difference, and donors have started to notice it.
How is the effective rate actually 0–1%? ▾
When a donor covers the fee, the processing cost comes out of the amount they added — not your donation. On a $100 gift, 90%+ of donors add roughly $4 to cover it. You receive $100. Your cost: $0. That's how the effective rate drops to 0–1% on covered transactions.
How quickly do I receive funds? ▾
Standard: weekly ACH. Growth: weekly or monthly — your choice. Professional: daily, weekly, or monthly, so funds can arrive as fast as the next business day.
Can I switch plans? ▾
Yes — upgrade or downgrade anytime from your dashboard. No penalty, no paperwork, no awkward conversation.
Do you offer custom pricing? ▾
Yes. Large nonprofits, NIL collectives, and multi-campaign organizations should reach out — we're happy to talk. Email support@smartchange.app.
What are Spare Change round-ups and why is the rate different? ▾
Spare Change round-ups let donors link a card and automatically round up everyday purchases to the nearest dollar — the difference goes to your organization. The rate is 10% per transaction because these are micro-transactions (often just cents) that require the same payment infrastructure as a full donation. The passive, recurring nature of round-ups typically makes the economics work out well for organizations over time.
