Pricing entry tiers: DonateMate at Free plan available, Zestard ‑ Easy Donation at Free trial available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Zestard ‑ Easy Donation has the larger user base (123 reviews vs 29), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
