CrowdCreate vs Mightycause
Mightycause and CrowdCreate sit in different shapes of nonprofit fundraising. Mightycause is a nonprofit fundraising platform with donation pages, peer-to-peer, and Giving Days, sold on subscription tiers with per-transaction fees on top. CrowdCreate is one donation widget for your own site at a flat $20 a month with 0% taken from your funds.

Where Mightycause is the better choice
If your nonprofit runs Giving Days, peer-to-peer campaigns, or multi-page fundraisers across a network of supporters, Mightycause's platform features handle work a single widget doesn't try to. Its subscription tiers include the toolset and reporting a multi-campaign nonprofit needs, and the platform's name and history give donors a familiar place to land. If your fundraising is platform-shaped rather than widget-shaped, that's a fit a widget won't beat.
Where CrowdCreate wins
If what you need is the donation ask itself, on your own site, with the money landing in your own Stripe and the funder list yours to export, the Mightycause subscription is paying for breadth you won't use. CrowdCreate is one widget, a flat $20 a month, no platform cut from your funds. If a focused on-site widget fits better than a multi-campaign nonprofit platform, that's the trade we're built for.
The math
Mightycause is sold on subscription tiers plus per-transaction fees, not a single platform percentage off donations — the cost depends on the plan you're on and what modules you've turned on. The slider's headline number doesn't apply cleanly; we leave the model name in the rate column. CrowdCreate stays a flat $20 a month; Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ per pledge applies on both sides.
Mightycause'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.
