  Qgiv (now Bloomerang Fundraising) sells tiered software plans plus payment
  processing on top. Historically Qgiv published a $0/month starter tier
  (processing fees only) alongside paid tiers commonly cited in the
  $49-$199/month range depending on feature set (events, peer-to-peer,
  text-to-give, auctions), with GiftAssist available at no extra cost to help
  donors cover processing fees. Since the January 2024 Bloomerang acquisition,
  qgiv.com/pricing now redirects to bloomerang.com/pricing, where the giving
  platform (the product line built on the former Qgiv technology) is sold
  starting at $40/month billed annually, bundled with Bloomerang CRM. The
  documented legacy Qgiv API itself carries no separate API fee - it is
  included with a Qgiv/Bloomerang Fundraising account and scoped per form via
  API token.
notes: >-
  Pre-acquisition tier names/prices and current post-acquisition bundle
  pricing are both included below because many live Qgiv accounts (and the
  documented qgiv.com/api surface) predate the Bloomerang rebrand. Reconcile
  current rates directly with a Bloomerang sales contact - self-serve pricing
  detail has been reduced since the redirect to bloomerang.com/pricing.

    Per-transaction payment processing fees historically charged on top of
    the software tier, cited in third-party comparisons as roughly 2.95% per
    transaction on lower tiers and 3.95% + $0.30 per transaction on the
    starter/free tier, with GiftAssist available to let donors voluntarily
    cover the fee. Fees are reported as flat regardless of transaction volume
    or card type. Confirm current rates directly with Bloomerang, as these
    figures are third-party reported rather than currently published
    first-party rates.
