Paddle-Up vs Greater Giving
Greater Giving has long served schools and nonprofits with auction and event solutions. Paddle-Up is a modern, campaign-first platform—galas, sales, pledge drives, and auctions—with Stripe payments and straightforward per-transaction pricing.
Greater Giving is established in the benefit-auction and school fundraising space. Organizations evaluating it should use Greater Giving's own materials for modules, support, and contract terms. The notes below describe how Paddle-Up is positioned—not a claim-for-claim audit of their product.
Cloud-native campaigns and payments
Many legacy event suites grew around onsite auctions and add-on services. Paddle-Up is built as a single web platform where campaigns, ticketing, bidding, and donor communications reference the same data model, with payouts and compliance through Stripe. If your priority is fewer handoffs between tools and predictable software economics, that's the gap we fill.
Pricing model
Paddle-Up uses Stripe processing at standard rates plus 0.1% of each transaction plus $0.15 per successful transaction to Paddle-Up, with full feature access—no separate “enterprise” tier for core capabilities. Greater Giving's pricing structure may include licensing or service bundles; compare total cost of ownership for your event mix and support needs.

One transparent rate—Stripe processing plus 0.1% + $0.15 per transaction. AI is pay-as-you-go when you use the assistant—purchase tokens per organization. The models we run are not cheap; including unlimited AI in our low per-transaction fee would not be sustainable.
