MonthFund vs. Teamfi
MonthFund vs. Teamfi:
Specialist vs. generalist.
Both platforms support calendar fundraisers. MonthFund is built exclusively for the 31-day pick-a-date model. Teamfi covers many fundraiser types. The difference shows up in the features, the pricing, and what your donors see at checkout.
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.
MonthFund is free to launch. We use a transparent infrastructure fee that donors see and cover at checkout, so your cause keeps 100% of their intended gift. Teamfi funds the platform with optional donor tips at checkout. Those tips go to Teamfi, not your organization. Stripe still takes 2.9% + $0.30 from each gift.
Why organizations choose MonthFund
Built for the calendar fundraiser. Nothing else.
Built only for the calendar model
MonthFund does one thing: the 31-day pick-a-date fundraiser. Every feature, from participant dashboards to automated reminders to live fill tracking, is built for this format. Teamfi supports calendars plus a-thons, crowdfunding pages, and fill-the-ball fundraisers.
Your cause keeps 100%. Donors cover the infrastructure.
MonthFund adds a transparent 3% infrastructure fee at checkout. Donors see it and can cover it in one click so the organization receives the intended gift. Teamfi asks donors for an optional platform tip instead.
Subscriptions that lower fees as you scale
MonthFund Professional ($49/mo, 2% fee) and Network ($199/mo, 0% fee) reduce the per-donation infrastructure fee as your campaign volume grows. Your subscription covers more of our cost. Teamfi has no subscription model.
Reporting built for recurring campaigns
MonthFund Professional and Network include full campaign reports, filtered exports, accounting CSV layouts, and cross-campaign comparisons. Teamfi offers basic CSV downloads. If you run the calendar model every month, the reporting gap matters.
