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. On PFW a £10 ticket costs the supporter £10, with no voluntary contribution prompt on top. Every figure on this page is sourced from JustGiving's own published rates.
None · donor tips
We don't prompt voluntary contributions at checkout.
5% + VAT · platform fee
Only when you raise. Card processing at cost.
Nothing · setup & monthly
No card to start. No contract lock-in.
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 there is no tip prompt: a £10 ticket costs £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.
Your supporters pay what they intended to pay
JustGiving prompts donors for a voluntary contribution at checkout. PFW doesn't, so a £10 ticket costs £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.
A different model: your supporters pay what they intended, with no tip prompt.
JustGiving charges good causes no platform fee and asks donors for a voluntary contribution, so a donation page passes almost every pound to the cause. On PFW the 5% + VAT platform fee and card processing at cost come off ticket sales, and what is left splits 50/50 between the winner and your cause. You are not choosing the cheaper option; you are choosing a draw supporters come back to every week. Sourced from JustGiving's published pricing (May 2026).
See your exact numbers — CalculatorWhen 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.
