A comparison between the products, pricing and features offered by Teamfi and Paramount Fundraising

With AI
Traditional fundraising strategies such as product sales and discount cards are still very popular in many spaces when it comes to fundraising. However, digital software platforms have transformed the landscape by eliminating physical handling and paper forms.
Companies like Paramount Fundraising focus on a full-service, "done-for-you" digital setup for specific campaign formats, while Teamfi is a self-serve digital fundraising platform that provides a broad array of innovative tools designed to maximize flexibility, simplify your dashboard, and lower the barrier to entry of fundraising.
Whether you are new to fundraising or looking to transition your program to a digital-first approach, understanding how these two options compare on pricing, fundraiser types, and features will help you make the right choice for your group.
While both platforms operate in the digital fundraising space and eliminate door-to-door physical order forms, key differences remain in platform control, pricing transparency, and advanced features.
1. Platform Control & Pace
Because Paramount handles account creation and management for you, participants cannot live-update their own campaigns, and campaigns run at Paramount's administrative pace. Teamfi gives organizers and participants complete real-time control over campaign edits, updates, and messaging.
2. Fee Transparency & Donor Experience
While Paramount advertises "$0 platform fee for organizations", they add a 12% service fee to each donor's contribution at checkout. Teamfi keeps pricing fully transparent with $0 platform fees and standard credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30), avoiding surprise checkout fees for your supporters.
3. Advanced Features & Campaign Duplication
Paramount lacks several advanced self-serve tools such as built-in messaging automation, participant grouping, nonprofit verification tools, exportable reporting, and the ability to copy & paste (duplicate) past fundraisers. Teamfi includes these features natively, allowing you to rollover prior rosters and settings in a single click.
Teamfi operates with absolute transparency when it comes to pricing. Teamfi has no platform fees, meaning the only cost faced by an organization is standard credit card processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction via Stripe). This leaves organizations walking away with an average of 96.5% of all funds raised. Teamfi is powered entirely by optional donor tips at checkout.
Paramount Fundraising also advertises "$0 platform fee for organizations" and deducts standard credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30 via Stripe) from your payout. However, Paramount adds a 12% service fee directly to each donor's contribution at checkout — $1,200 on a $10,000 campaign.
Even when a donor fee is disclosed, it's still a required surcharge — 12% adds $6 to a $50 gift, and the donor cannot decline it. An optional tip can be set to $0 with no effect on the donation. Keeping donor costs voluntary reduces checkout friction and protects gift sizes.

While payout fees remain the same, higher donor fees rather than voluntary tips may lead to a decrease in overall donations and donation size.

"Loved this fundraiser and I thought it was the easiest thing ever. I had access to everything and was able to do things on my end. If I ever had a question, you were super easy to work with and got back to me right away. Also, you don't take advantage of the percentage on the back end, which we appreciate!"

“All-in-all, I absolutely LOVED TEAMFI. The communication and support was excellent, player acclimation was incredibly simple, and donors appreciated the text messages over emails. The campaign was light years ahead of similar programs."

How do the fees compare between Teamfi and Paramount Fundraising?
Both platforms charge $0 in platform fees directly to the organization and deduct standard credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30 via Stripe) from payouts. However, Paramount adds a 12% service fee to each donor's contribution at checkout.
How fast can we set up and launch a campaign?
You can launch a Teamfi campaign in as little as 15 minutes directly at your own pace. Paramount campaigns require submitting your roster and assets to their team first, after which they build your custom calendar pages, generate QR codes, and issue participant links.
‍
Can our team copy and reuse past fundraisers?
Teamfi features a one-click campaign duplication tool that lets you copy and paste past fundraisers, rosters, and contacts instantly. Paramount does not offer a self-serve copy-and-paste feature, requiring new setup management for subsequent campaigns.
‍
How are campaign funds paid out?
Teamfi processes payments with their partner Stripe, offering both a direct deposit or check payout option. . Paramount provides same-day payouts upon campaign completion via Zelle, Venmo, ACH direct deposit, or mailed check.
‍
Do supporters need to download an app to donate?
No. Supporters on both platforms can make donations via direct web links on mobile browsers or desktop computers without downloading an app.
‍
Do our participants need to sell physical products?
Neither platform requires physical product sales. Both Teamfi and Paramount Fundraising focus on 100% digital donations, eliminating order forms, cash collection, and physical product deliveries.
‍
Both Teamfi and Paramount Fundraising offer strong digital alternatives to traditional product sales.
If your group wants a well-reviewed, "done-for-you" service where a team builds your materials and sends payouts via Venmo or Zelle on closing day, Paramount Fundraising is an option—provided you are comfortable with donors paying a 12% fee at checkout.
However, if you want full control over your campaign, complete fee transparency, advanced features like messaging automation and a wider variety of campaign models, Teamfi delivers the ultimate flexible platform for modern fundraisers. Paramount is one of several calendar-specific platforms — if you're weighing more than these two, see our comparison of the 7 best calendar fundraiser platforms of 2026.
