99Pledges vs. RallyUp

99Pledges’ Easy, Engaging Campaigns

99Pledges and RallyUp are both free fundraising platforms that help groups increase their peer-to-peer event revenue. However, while RallyUp is a good choice for experienced fundraisers like enterprise nonprofits, 99Pledges appeals to schools, youth sports teams, and other local groups who want a smoother, stress-free fundraising experience.

99Pledges provides the user-friendliness and dedicated support you need to run a successful, profitable campaign, whether it’s your first fundraiser or your hundred-and-first.

How 99Pledges Helps Fundraisers Get Started Within Minutes

Youth-oriented fundraisers are busy enough; you need tools that make your life easier, not harder. 99Pledges outperforms competitors like RallyUp by keeping things simple—while still delivering a professional experience.

Easier for Organizers

Unlike RallyUp, which only offers peer-to-peer functionality as an add-on to other campaigns, 99Pledges specializes in engaging peer-to-peer “a-thon” events such as Walk-a-thons, Read-a-thons, and Fun Runs. What’s more, with 99Pledges, your team will get your own dedicated fundraising coach. RallyUp offers some support, but because their experts are trying to help everyone at once, you’ll be fighting to get their attention.

Easier for Participants

When you start your fundraiser with 99Pledges, we’ll automatically create individualized donation pages for each of your participants. RallyUp also offers personal donation pages, but users must enable this function themselves for it to work properly. This creates friction before your campaign even launches.

 

With 99Pledges, you can also track individual participants’ progress, creating an exciting air of competition that drives participants to secure more pledges.

Easier for Donors

A complicated giving experience discourages donors. Luckily, both 99Pledges and RallyUp allow you to accept multiple payment types, including credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. With either platform, you can also track cash and check donations. 

 

However, RallyUp users have reported that their donors have encountered difficulties while trying to check out using the platform, struggling to navigate through a multi-step process. This confusion can negatively impact your earnings. On the other hand, 99Pledges makes it easy for supporters across the country to make flat donations or pledges.
