How Rafflebase compares
Every figure below comes from the other product’s own pricing page, not from a listicle. Where a competitor beats us, we say so — there are two such rows in the table.

What sets us apart
-
Cryptographic verification
Every draw publishes a SHA-256 hash and the seed behind it, so anyone can re-run the computation and confirm the winner. None of the tools compared here offer an equivalent.
-
Pay per raffle, not per month
Free for up to 100 entrants, then a one-time $25 for that raffle. Run one a year or one a week — there is no plan to keep paying for between drawings.
-
Never a cut of what you raise
No platform fee, no per-entrant charge, and nobody asks your donors to tip a software company at checkout. What you raise is what you keep.
-
Built to be checked
A public results page and a timestamped audit trail come with every raffle, which is what a board, a treasurer or a room full of donors actually asks for.
Try it on your next drawing
Free for up to 100 entrants. If it does not fit, nothing has been spent.
