CrowdCreate vs Every.org
Every.org is a nonprofit that offers free donation tools — 0% platform fee — and acts as a giving network and tax-receipt conduit. CrowdCreate is a $20-a-month donation widget on your own site. The trade is a free, hosted giving profile (with receipts) versus an owned, on-site widget into your own Stripe.
| At a glance | CrowdCreate | Every.org |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $20 flat | $0 |
| Cut of each donation | 0% — none | 0% (free) |
| Cost grows as you raise more | No — always $20 | Depends on plan / model |
Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ per payment) applies on most platforms, including CrowdCreate. This compares cost structure only — see below for where Every.org fits and where CrowdCreate fits.
Where Every.org is the better choice
Every.org is free, is itself a 501(c)(3) that can route tax-deductible gifts and issue receipts, and brings a network of donors. If you're a registered nonprofit that wants free tooling and a tax-receipt conduit, it's a genuinely strong $0 option — and CrowdCreate does NOT issue tax-deductible receipts, so if deductible receipts are essential, Every.org may fit you better. We'd rather say that plainly.
Where CrowdCreate wins
CrowdCreate puts the donation on your own site, under your own brand, into your own Stripe account, with a dashboard and a funder list that are yours to keep and export — not a profile hosted on every.org. If owning the page and the Stripe relationship matters more than the free hosted profile and the receipt conduit, that's the trade CrowdCreate is built for.
The math
Every.org's platform cut is 0%, so on fees it's cheaper than $20 and the slider shows that honestly. You pay card processing either way. What the slider can't show is on-site ownership and your own Stripe versus a hosted giving profile — or that Every.org can issue tax receipts and CrowdCreate can't.
Every.org's free tier takes nothing here — on pure platform cut, it's cheaper than our $20.
Stripe's standard fee (2.9% + 30¢ per pledge) applies on every platform here, including CrowdCreate. We add nothing on top.

Common questions
Is $20/mo worth it vs a free or percentage option?
At low volume, a free tier or a percentage cut can genuinely cost you less — we won't pretend otherwise. The flat $20 wins as donations scale, and it keeps everything on your own site instead of a third-party profile page.
Whose Stripe gets the money?
Yours. Donations land in your own Stripe account directly — CrowdCreate never holds or routes the funds.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime, with a 30-day refund if it's not a fit. Your donor data stays in your Stripe.
