Based on the data on this page, Gofundme is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 5.0★ vs WhyDonate's 4.4★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. On pricing, WhyDonate offers a free tier (Free) while Gofundme starts at Paid. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Gofundme ; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — WhyDonate's 10-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Gofundme 's broader-but-shallower coverage. 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 Wix App Market 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.

Two days in a row, I tried to add it to our nonprofit site, but all it does is spin when trying to access the dashboard
WhyDonate is the cheaper option — it offers a free plan (Free). Gofundme starts at Paid. Both publish their pricing on the Wix App Market marketplace; AppRanks mirrors what's listed on each refresh cycle.
Gofundme has the higher average rating (5.0★ from 2 reviews) compared to WhyDonate (4.4★ from 10 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. Gofundme fits better if you prioritize rating consistency; WhyDonate is the call if you need the larger user base. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Wix App Market marketplace. WhyDonate has more onboarding documentation maturity (10 reviews vs 2), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Gofundme typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (2 reviews). WhyDonate aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (10 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Gofundme and WhyDonate 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 Gofundme " in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
