CharityChoice Donations and Patron: Round Up Donations are evenly matched on rating (5.0★ vs 5.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow.
Pricing entry tiers: CharityChoice Donations at Free plan available, Patron: Round Up Donations 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Shopify App Store listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating — both sit at 5.0★. CharityChoice Donations does carry the larger published review base (7 vs 3). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store.

CharityChoice Donations typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (7 reviews). Patron: Round Up Donations typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (3 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.

CharityChoice Donations and Patron: Round Up Donations both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Patron: Round Up Donations" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
