## Reviews

### "Fantastic Platform\!" — 5.0/5

> **DeAnna** | *14 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that they are actually invested in helping nonprofits. They tailor their platform to the needs of non-profits. And they're just awesome people to work with\!
> 
> **Cons**: NOTHING\! There is absolutely NOTHING negative. I love Zeffy\! I think more non-profits should use Zeffy\!
> 
> Zeffy is easy to use and the support is almost unreal\! They PROACTIVELY reach out if they see you try something and it wasn't completed, to make sure you don't need assistance.  Absolutely the best customer support I have ever seen.

### "Saving Time and Money" — 5.0/5

> **DAVID** | *29 January 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zeffy is constantly improving, updating and enhancing the tools and the support team actually listens to requests and implements new features all the time.&#10;There has never been an issue with the finance aspect and The Llama Sanctuary can count on receiving a payout, on the dot, every week.
> 
> **Cons**: At the moment, Zeffy lacks some of the refinements and tools that bespoke email platforms, event organisers and online stores can offer.  The email creation element is still a bit crude and clunky and site navigation can be counter-intuitive (to me at least).
> 
> Zeffy has been the major fundraising platform for The Llama Sanctuary since 2024 and it has made a huge difference to the administration.  Previously, we used Mailchimp for email campaigns, Events for event booking and guided tours and separate fundraising platforms.  All of that is now condensed into one entity making life so much easier and in the process, the amount of money saved in fees each year is enough to pay the feed bill for entire month\!&#10;&#10;Oh\!  Did I mention it is absolutely free to use?

### "100 percent recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Jessie** | *16 August 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, simple navigation, intuitive platform, ease of set up, simple to create events even with zero experience
> 
> **Cons**: Phone navigation seems less intuitive then PC/desktop versions,  would like an easier phone layout for the sytem
> 
> recently formed nonprofit 501C3 was looking for tools that would help launch us quickly and zeffy did just that

### "Seasoned IT support ... It's good, it could be way better (but it's free)" — 3.0/5

> **Adam** | *12 November 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fairly intuitive to get running, easy to maintain and update, FAQ and online support (if you can get them)
> 
> **Cons**: Help documents, questionable reporting, 15+min delay in close of auctions.
> 
> It's been good, a bit questionable when starting our first auction ... too many unknowns that we just had to figure out.

### "Zeffy is a homerun for non-profits\!" — 5.0/5

> **Debbie** | *08 April 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We currently use a paid CRM (which we are cancelling soon), and are converting all our records to Zeffy. We have used it for donations and for tickets so far. The ease of use is incredible. The platform actually does MORE than the one we have been paying for. It's so incredible that its FREE\!
> 
> **Cons**: I really currently don't have any cons per say. They are continuously looking for ways to improve the platform, and are open for your feedback on what your needs are, so that's really all that matters\!
> 
> Zeffy is a homerun for all non-profits\! It's very easy to use. When you have questions, the staff is very responsive. You won't regret using Zeffy\!
