Donorbox alternative · Feature-by-feature comparison
vs 
Donorbox is an online fundraising platform with a kiosk feature. Kind Kiosk is a kiosk specialist. We source the hardware, build the software, and support every part of it.
Both are good at what they're built for. Here's the honest difference in focus.
Kiosk specialist Software built for the whole in-person job: donations, DAF gifts, a live leaderboard, and custom workflows that go beyond giving — memberships, surveys, volunteer sign-ins. Every kiosk component is sourced and pre-configured before it ships, so setup takes minutes.
Live™ Kiosk All-in-one platform A broad online-fundraising platform that added a kiosk app. You bring your own tablet, or buy a bundle, and assemble the pieces yourself.

Choose Kind Kiosk if… Choose Donorbox if… Donorbox is an online-fundraising platform that added a kiosk app you load onto your own tablet. Kind Kiosk is a kiosk specialist: we source the tablet, reader, enclosure and stand, pre-configure everything, build the donation software, and support the whole kiosk as one product.
You call, email, or text us. Because we sourced every component and wrote the software, we can diagnose and fix any part of the kiosk, hardware or app. With a bring-your-own-tablet setup, troubleshooting can mean coordinating across the tablet maker, the reader maker, the app and your own team.
Yes, all of them, on every plan. Every Kind Kiosk model accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card, or even QR code. Mailing-list opt-in is built into the standard flow, designations are unlimited on all plans, and live donation leaderboards are supported for events and everyday giving.
Yes. Beyond donations, Kind Kiosk runs custom workflows on the same device: memberships, guestbooks, surveys, volunteer sign-ins, and more. You also shape the giving flow itself — your funds, suggested amounts, questions and branding — to match how your organization fundraises. Donorbox's kiosk app is focused on taking donations.
Our model is the opposite by design: every part of the kiosk is sourced and pre-configured before it ships, so it arrives ready for a quick setup. Cellular connectivity is included, and we manage the software with updates handled remotely. That's what lets us support the whole kiosk as one system, rather than handing you parts to source, configure, and troubleshoot yourself.
Many organizations keep an online platform for their website and use Kind Kiosk for in-person giving in lobbies, sanctuaries and at events, the channel where a purpose-built kiosk does its best work. And your kiosk giving doesn't stay siloed: Kind Kiosk integrates with major CRMs, so you can sync donation data automatically or export it whenever you need it. And if all you need is a simple way for donors to give on your website, our embeddable button has you covered — no separate platform required.
Yes. If you run a gala, conference or seasonal campaign, you can rent kiosks for the event rather than buying. They arrive pre-configured and shipped ready, same as our permanent units.
