MonthFund vs. Teamfi
Teamfi or MonthFund?
Here is the honest answer.
If you are running a one-time school or team drive and want a-thon, crowdfunding, and calendar options in one platform, Teamfi can be the simpler choice. If the calendar model is your main program and you plan to run it more than once, MonthFund is the purpose-built specialist with published infrastructure fees.
No credit card required. Free to start.
Two different models
MonthFund charges a clear, disclosed infrastructure fee on each donation. Donors see exactly what they are paying and can cover it in one click. Your donors give to you, not to our software.
Teamfi is free for organizers with $0 platform fee. Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 from each gift. Optional donor tips fund Teamfi. Teamfi does not publish a default tip rate. The tips go to Teamfi, not your organization. MonthFund charges a transparent infrastructure fee instead — no tip prompt.
Why organizations choose MonthFund
Built for the calendar fundraiser. Nothing else.
Teamfi may be better if…
You need a one-time school or team fundraiser with multiple format options (a-thons, crowdfunding, and calendars). Teamfi offers strong SMS outreach, subgroup organization, and a tip model that keeps organizer fees at $0. If you do not mind donors seeing a tip prompt at checkout, it is a solid generalist choice.
MonthFund may be better if…
The 31-day pick-a-date calendar is your core model and you run it more than once a year. MonthFund is built only for the calendar format with multi-fundraiser stacking, transparent published fees (3%/2%/0%), and reporting designed for recurring campaigns.
What can a calendar raise?
A fully claimed 31-day calendar can raise up to $496 at face value (1+2+…+31); a 30-day month can raise up to $465. Real outcomes depend on fill rate and whether donors give more than face value. Model scenarios on /calculator.
Community tier is enough for a real campaign
MonthFund Community is free with a 3% infrastructure fee. It includes 50 active participants, 2 admin accounts, and 2 active campaigns — enough for most school or team drives. Learn more at /community or see full tier details on /pricing.

The Math
Know exactly what your org keeps.
On a fully funded $10,000 campaign on MonthFund's free Community tier, here is the breakdown if every donor covers fees at checkout.
Full pricing breakdownExample: $10,000 campaign
Teamfi charges organizers $0 platform fee. Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 from each gift (typically ~3.4% overall per Teamfi). Optional donor tips fund Teamfi — it does not publish a default tip rate. MonthFund Community is also free at 3% infrastructure plus the same Stripe rate. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout. Neither is 0% total cost; both shift fee visibility differently.
Teamfi may be better for a one-time school or team drive where you want multiple fundraiser formats (a-thons, crowdfunding, and calendars) in one platform. Their strong SMS outreach and subgroup organization are useful for large team structures. If a donor tip prompt at checkout is acceptable to your community, Teamfi keeps your organizer cost at $0.
MonthFund is better if the 31-day pick-a-date calendar is your main program and you plan to run it more than once. MonthFund is built only for the calendar model with published 3%/2%/0% infrastructure fees, multi-fundraiser stacking, and reporting designed for recurring campaigns. Community tier includes 50 participants, 2 admins, and 2 active campaigns — enough for most drives. See /community for details.
Yes. MonthFund is free to start and your first campaign can go live in under 15 minutes. There is no migration complexity. You invite your participants and set up your calendar.
MonthFund is built for the 31-day pick-a-date calendar only. Teamfi also sells a-thons, crowdfunding pages, and fill-the-ball fundraisers. If those other formats are the main program, Teamfi fits better. If the calendar is the main program, MonthFund is the specialist.
If a donor skips the Teamfi tip, the organization still pays Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 from the gift. Teamfi receives $0 on that checkout. MonthFund's infrastructure fee is separate from Stripe and does not depend on a tip prompt.
A fully claimed 31-day calendar can raise up to $496 at face value (1+2+…+31); a 30-day month can raise up to $465. Real outcomes depend on fill rate and whether donors give more than face value.

MonthFund supports individuals on the Personal tier (5% platform fee, no subscription). Teamfi requires organizations with a Tax ID — individuals cannot sign up directly.
