One flat fee

One dollar. That's the price.

No percentage shaved off. No setup. No platform tier. Whether the gift is $5 or $5,000, Bequest charges the same dollar.

$1.00*
per transaction · no monthly fee
* Bequest is built for meaningful gifts. We don’t recommend it for $1 donations — at that size the fee equals the gift. The flat rate is designed to stay invisible on $25, $250, or $25,000.

Versus the legacy stack

What you stop paying for.

2.9% + $0.30

Card-processor pricing on a $100 gift = $3.20. On Bequest, it's $1.00 — flat. You keep the rest.

5–8% platform fees

$3,000+/yr filing services

Charitable solicitation registration handled by outside counsel typically runs thousands per year. Included.
