COMPARE · PFW VS RAFFALL

Raffall alternative — fixed fees, no Raffall Guarantee risk, no subscription tier upsell.

Raffall charges 15% commission on the free Basic tier and tiers up from there. If a host fails to deliver the prize, the Raffall Guarantee kicks in and the host's net payout becomes £0. PFW: one flat 15% fee with every feature included, no tier ladder, no penalty clauses — and grassroots clubs can pay what they feel. Every figure on this page is sourced from Raffall's own published terms.

1 flat fee · no tiers

PFW: 15% flat, full features. Raffall: 15% Basic, paid tiers to cut it.

£0 · penalty risk

No Raffall Guarantee. No host-pays-zero scenarios.

1 fee · not 3 tiers

Raffall: Basic, Premium £8/mo, Pro £83/mo. PFW: one fee, full features.

Same 15% headline — completely different structure.

On Raffall's free Basic tier, every ticket loses 15% to the platform — that scales linearly with how much you raise. To reduce the fee to 10%, you have to upgrade to Premium (£8/mo + VAT billed annually upfront) or Pro (£83/mo billed annually upfront). On PFW, the fee is 15% flat with every feature included — no tiers, no annual lock-in, and grassroots clubs and community causes can pay what they feel under our grassroots offer. Sourced from Raffall's published pricing page (May 2026).

Fixed fee, no tier ladder

Raffall's 15% Basic fee is the entry point. To get to 10%, you have to subscribe to a tier and commit to annual billing upfront. PFW is 15%, flat, with every feature included — no subscription, no commitment, and a pay-what-you-feel offer for grassroots clubs.

No Raffall Guarantee penalty risk

If a Raffall host fails to deliver the prize, the Raffall Guarantee pays the winner 75% of total ticket revenue — and the host's net revenue becomes £0. PFW has no equivalent penalty clause: you set the prize, you deliver the prize, you keep the proceeds minus the 15% platform fee.

Built for ongoing fundraising, not one-off raffles

Raffall is a raffle-hosting platform — one-off prize competitions. PFW is a fundraising platform — 50/50 draws, prize draws, prediction games, memberships — all built to compound monthly. If you want recurring revenue, not one-off raffles, this matters.

At £5,000/mo, the fee gap is no longer the story — the structure is.

Raffall Basic and PFW both charge 15%, with Stripe payment processing on top (1.5% + 20p for standard UK cards). The differences: Raffall's route to a lower fee is a paid tier billed annually upfront; PFW's is the grassroots pay-what-you-feel offer, agreed in writing, with no subscription. And PFW is built for recurring draws rather than one-off raffles. Drag the calculator on /Pricing to see your numbers.

When Raffall is the right choice

If you want to publish a one-off raffle with a specific physical prize (a luxury car, a holiday, a high-value item you're providing) and you're comfortable with the Raffall Guarantee risk model, Raffall is purpose-built for that use case. Their up-to-1-year competition duration suits long-form raffles. If you want a fundraising platform that runs ongoing 50/50 draws, prize draws and memberships for a club, school or charity, that's where PFW wins.
