The full comparison.

Last updated June 2026

Qgiv has rebranded as Bloomerang Fundraising. It includes auction software, which Givebear does not, and covers in-person giving with card readers. Givebear sells a walk-up kiosk, separates Zakat and Sadaqah natively, and has a current developer API. Both handle event registration and online donations, so auctions against kiosks and faith funds is usually the deciding split.

Qgiv is nonprofit fundraising software. In the comparison below, Qgiv has the edge on auction software, and Givebear includes native Zakat/Sadaqah segregation, which Qgiv does not.

Where Qgiv is the better choice

Qgiv offers auction software, and Givebear does not. If staff use that every week, leaving Qgiv means replacing it with another tool or going without.

Where Givebear is different

Givebear fits organizations that want a walk-up donation kiosk, faith funds such as Zakat and Sadaqah kept separate, and event fundraising on the same account as online giving.

Compared with Qgiv, Givebear's kiosk for a lobby or event entrance is a 21.5-inch touchscreen with a built-in Stripe card reader, sold once at $999 to $1,099 (wall mount or battery floor stand) with no per-kiosk software subscription.

What to test before you decide

Score both platforms on breadth of fundraising suite, kiosk and in-person giving, event and campaign setup effort, donor receipt experience, and fit for local community teams. Use your last year-end appeal as the test case: set up the same funds and receipt wording in a free Givebear account and check whether it produces the report your board asked for from Qgiv.

How do you switch from Qgiv to Givebear?

Document active event pages, campaign forms, donor exports, text-to-give flows, receipt settings, and integrations before moving.

Givebear imports contacts and past gifts from a CSV, so the Qgiv export is the first step. Create your funds in Givebear before importing the Qgiv file, since fund names in it do not create funds on their own. Saved cards move only if Qgiv and Stripe support a transfer; otherwise recurring donors restart their gift on your new page, so announce the change a few weeks ahead.

Before cutover, list every place a donor can reach Qgiv: website buttons, email footers, printed QR codes, and event pages. Repoint the ones you control; a printed code that sends donors to Qgiv keeps working only as long as Qgiv keeps that page up.

Practical use cases

Choose Givebear if you need native Zakat/Sadaqah segregation, which Qgiv does not offer.
Stay with Qgiv if your team depends on auction software.
Keep Qgiv for online giving and add a Givebear kiosk for walk-up gifts, then decide after a season of both.

Common questions

Does Qgiv support donation kiosks?

Partly. The comparison above lists Qgiv's kiosk support as "basic card readers". Compared with Qgiv, Givebear's kiosk for a lobby or event entrance is a 21.5-inch touchscreen with a built-in Stripe card reader, sold once at $999 to $1,099 (wall mount or battery floor stand) with no per-kiosk software subscription.

What is the best Qgiv alternative?

It depends on what Qgiv is not doing for you. If you need a walk-up donation kiosk or native Zakat/Sadaqah segregation, which Qgiv lacks, Givebear has those in the same account as online giving. If your team relies on auction software, pick an alternative that also has it, or keep Qgiv for that job.

Can I import my donors from Qgiv?

Yes. Export contacts and gift history from Qgiv as a CSV and import both into Givebear. Recurring gifts are separate: saved payment methods transfer only when Qgiv and Stripe support it, so check that before you set a cutover date.

What does switching from Qgiv to Givebear cost?

Givebear charges a flat platform fee from 1.9% to 5.9% depending on plan (one rate online, at kiosks, and on memberships), plus Stripe card processing at cost, with no setup fee and no monthly minimum. To compare with Qgiv, run last year's gifts through both fee schedules and add any per-device or add-on fees each side charges; a Givebear kiosk is optional and only needed for walk-up giving.

Givebear covers donation portal, donation kiosks, campaign pages, event registration, automated receipts, donor records.
