RunSignUp doesn't offer a nonprofit rate. RaceMission is the only platform with a dedicated 4% + $0.50 tier for verified 501(c)(3) organizations — a category we can own.
RunSignUp doesn't include timing at all. RaceMission includes real-time timing free up to 100 participants, with a predictable low fixed fee for larger races.
RaceMission was built from the ground up for charity events. Fundraising goals, donor transparency, and direct payments to your cause are first-class features — not afterthoughts.
From race directors who switched
"We moved 3 annual races from RunSignUp to RaceMission. The savings paid for our volunteer appreciation dinner."
