COMPARE · PFW VS JUSTGIVING

JustGiving alternative — built for clubs, schools and charities who want recurring fundraising, not begging-bowl donations.

JustGiving is a donation page. Play Fund Win is a prize-led fundraising platform. Donors pay £10 to give £10 — not £11+ after the voluntary contribution. Every figure on this page is sourced from JustGiving's own published rates.

Your supporters pay what they intended to pay.

On JustGiving, a £10 donor is asked for a voluntary contribution of around 10–15% on top — most don't notice the slider. On PFW, £10 means £10. Your supporters give what they intended to give. Sourced from JustGiving's published pricing page (May 2026).

Recurring revenue, not one-off donations

JustGiving is built for one-off donation appeals. PFW is built for compounding monthly fundraising through 50/50 draws, prize draws and memberships. The average PFW host raises £10k+ in year one — most of it recurring.

Your supporters pay what they intended to pay

JustGiving prompts donors for a voluntary contribution at checkout. PFW doesn't. £10 means £10. Over a year, that's hundreds of pounds your supporters didn't intend to spend.

Real-time dashboards built for treasurers

JustGiving gives you a charity profile. PFW gives you a fundraising operations dashboard — real-time revenue tracking, supporter analytics, exportable reports, audit trail for trustees.

At £5,000/mo on JustGiving, you'd keep approximately £6,000 more per year on PFW.

Estimate based on JustGiving's published voluntary contribution rate (~10%) and standard payment processing, vs PFW's 15% platform fee + Stripe (1.5% + 20p) and no donor tipping. Drag the calculator on /Pricing to see how this scales for your audience.

When JustGiving is the right choice

If you need a one-off emotional appeal page for a single individual or cause — a memorial fund, a critical-illness appeal, a national disaster response — JustGiving's mainstream brand recognition is hard to beat. They're the right tool for an emotional one-off ask. If you want recurring revenue for a club, school or charity that runs month after month, that's where PFW wins.
