A plain-English breakdown of JustGiving's fees, with a real example.
JustGiving (UK) charges no platform fee on crowdfunding, but every donation still carries ~2.9% + £0.35 payment processing.
On a campaign that raises $5,000 across 1,000 contributions:
| Platform | Est. fees | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| JustGiving | $495 | 9.9% |
| Ralli (2% + low-cost rails) | $150 | 3.0% |
You'd keep $345 more on Ralli
Calculate your own savings →Fixed per-transaction fees (like the $0.30 on each gift) barely matter on a $500 donation but are brutal on a $5 one. Ralli pairs a flat 2% with low-cost account-to-account bank rails, so small contributions keep almost all their value — which is the whole point of the $1 that counts the same from everyone.
Ralli is a creator-first payout platform: supporters contribute, each creator is paid to their own bank account, and Ralli never holds your funds. See what you'd save →
JustGiving (UK) charges no platform fee on crowdfunding, but every donation still carries ~2.9% + £0.35 payment processing.
On a $5,000 raise spread across 1,000 contributions, JustGiving's fees work out to roughly $495 (9.9% of the total). The same raise on Ralli would cost about $150 (3.0%) — a flat 2% plus a few cents of low-cost rail per gift.
Yes. Ralli charges a flat 2% plus a small low-cost bank or stablecoin rail cost, is paid direct to your own bank account in around 185 countries, and never holds your money. On the example above you'd keep about $345 more than on JustGiving. The saving is largest when you have many small contributions.
Fixed per-transaction fees — like $0.30 on every gift — barely dent a $500 donation but can swallow a large share of a $5 one. Ralli pairs a flat 2% with low-cost account-to-account bank rails, so small gifts keep almost all their value.
No. Ralli is non-custodial — contributions are routed to your own bank account (or a stablecoin wallet), typically within about 48 hours, rather than sitting on a platform balance you have to withdraw from.
