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 their platform by asking your donors for a tip at checkout, often defaulted at 10 to 15 percent. That tip goes to Teamfi, not your organization.
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 as one of several fundraiser types.
Your cause keeps 100%. Donors cover the infrastructure.
MonthFund adds a transparent 3% infrastructure fee at checkout. Donors see it, understand where it goes, and cover it in one click. Because it is clear and honest, the vast majority choose to, meaning your organization receives the full intended gift. Teamfi asks donors for a platform tip at checkout instead.
Subscriptions that lower fees as you scale
MonthFund Professional ($49/mo, 1% 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.

The Math
Know exactly what your org keeps.

Full pricing breakdownExample: $10,000 campaign
Teamfi charges organizers nothing, but they ask donors for an optional tip at checkout, typically defaulted at 10 to 15 percent. That tip goes to Teamfi, not your organization. MonthFund is free to launch. We use a transparent 3% infrastructure fee that donors see and cover in one click, so your cause keeps 100% of their intended gift.
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 fundraiser. If you primarily run a-thons or crowdfunding campaigns, Teamfi may be a better fit. If the calendar model is your main fundraiser, MonthFund is the specialist.
When donors opt out of the Teamfi tip, Teamfi still covers processing costs. But lower tip rates mean less revenue for Teamfi, which could affect their platform over time. MonthFund uses a subscription model for more predictable, sustainable revenue.
MonthFund is free to launch. On Community, donors cover a 3% infrastructure fee at checkout. On Professional ($49/mo), the fee drops to 1%. On Network ($199/mo), it is 0%. Your subscription covers our cost instead. For organizations raising $5,000 or more per month, Professional pays for itself quickly. Teamfi relies on donor tips regardless of your volume.
