Why Zeffy over HubSpot?

Why Zeffy over Zeffy and HubSpot?

HubSpot costs more than your mission can afford

💯

Keep 100% of donations, not 97%

HubSpot charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on top of monthly fees. That's $290 lost on every $10,000 raised — money that should fund your mission, not their platform.

🤝

Built for nonprofits, not sales teams

HubSpot's CRM tracks leads and sales pipelines, but lacks donation history, giving capacity scoring, and the donor stewardship tools small nonprofits actually need to build lasting relationships.

🤗

Get help from people who get nonprofits

HubSpot's support team knows sales funnels, not donor stewardship. Zeffy's nonprofit experts answer questions in 2-6 hours with jargon-free help that actually fits how small teams work.

Questions nonprofits ask when choosing between Zeffy and HubSpot

Frequently asked questions

Can Zeffy handle our nonprofit's donor data as effectively as HubSpot's CRM?

Absolutely. Zeffy tracks donor history, segments supporters, and automates communications without HubSpot's complexity or monthly fees. Purpose-built for nonprofits, not corporations.

What happens to our donor relationships when we switch from HubSpot to Zeffy?

Your relationships get stronger. Import existing data easily, then use Zeffy's simple tools to send personalized thank-yous and updates that keep donors engaged and giving.

Why should nonprofits choose Zeffy over HubSpot for donor management?

Zeffy eliminates all fees so you keep 100% of donations, while HubSpot charges monthly subscriptions plus 2.9% processing fees. Built specifically for nonprofits, not corporations.

How much money can our nonprofit save by switching from HubSpot to Zeffy?

HubSpot costs $534+ monthly plus 2.9% per transaction. A nonprofit raising $50k annually saves over $7,900 yearly with Zeffy's zero-fee model.

Does Zeffy offer the same donor tracking features as HubSpot without the complexity?

Yes. Track donor history, automate thank-you emails, and manage relationships with simple tools designed for small teams. No technical setup or expensive onboarding required.
