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

MFTransparent Fee Model

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.

TDonor Tip Model

Teamfi charges organizers nothing. To fund their platform, they ask donors for a tip at checkout, often defaulted at 10 to 15 percent. That tip goes to Teamfi, not your organization. Many donors do not realize this until after they give.

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.

No surprise tips for your donors

MonthFund charges a clear 3% infrastructure fee on the free tier. Donors see it and can cover it in one click. Teamfi asks donors for a platform tip at checkout. Your donors give to your cause, not to our software.

Subscriptions that lower your fees at scale

MonthFund Professional ($49/mo, 1% fee) and Network ($199/mo, 0% fee) reduce your per-donation cost as your campaign volume grows. Teamfi has no subscription model. You rely on donor tips regardless of how much you raise.

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.
