Itch is free, with optional donations.

Donationware is "Please donate to continue"

No, that's either Freemium or Trialware.

I think they’re referring to software that has like donate indicators/prompts in the app, or features blocked behind “donation.”

yes, those.

That's either donationware or nagware depending.

features blocked behind “donation.”

That's just Freemium.
