Zero platform fees on every tier. Recurring giving from $49/year. Free migration from GiveWP or Charitable — dry-run preview first, no duplicates, ever.
GiveWP — now rebranded "Give" — is owned by Liquid Web, itself acquired by private equity firm One Equity Partners in 2023. In 2026, StellarWP (the brand umbrella that included Give, LearnDash, and SolidWP) was dissolved, folding its plugins directly under Liquid Web.

Payment gateway support is close to parity: both plugins' free tiers include Stripe and PayPal at no extra cost. Give's free version adds Venmo, which Donatico doesn't offer. Where Donatico differs on Stripe specifically: donors choose between a hosted Stripe page or paying without leaving your site, side by side on the same donation form — Give's own Stripe integration keeps donors on-site only, with no mention of a hosted-checkout alternative in its documentation.
Give's free version already includes campaigns, a donor wall, and an admin-side donor management dashboard — those require Donatico's paid Starter tier ($49/year). Donatico's free version does include a donor-facing self-service dashboard (donation history and receipts, no account required) — that part is free on both. Where Donatico's free version wins outright: it's the only one of the three that imports your existing donor history from GiveWP, Charitable, or a plain CSV — for free, on every tier.
"Switching donation plugins usually means losing your donor history. Donatico doesn't make you choose."
Dry-run preview before anything is written. Re-running an import never creates duplicates. The importer is free — for everyone, on every tier.
CloudOne Digital also owns LearnDash, SolidWP, and Liquid Web's hosting business. Donatico is built and supported directly by Forgeo — no holding company, no private equity, nothing to consolidate.
