Bloomerang, Raiser's Edge NXT, Virtuous, DonorPerfect, Neon CRM and Little Green Light start from the donor database. GoFundMe Pro, Givebutter, Donorbox and Zeffy start from online giving pages and forms. The pricing models also differ: a subscription by record count or revenue, a quote, or a fee on each gift.

These comparisons draw on public product information, not hands-on testing of every tool. Source records identify available references and checks; missing evidence is marked. Buyer fit is an editorial assessment, not a measured performance score. How to use this research.
Nonprofit fundraising software collects donations and records the people who give them. At a minimum it provides online donation forms, payment processing and receipts. Most products add a donor database, events and ticketing, auctions, peer-to-peer campaigns, recurring giving and email or text outreach.
The market splits along two lines. The first is the starting point. Donor CRMs such as Raiser’s Edge NXT, Virtuous, DonorPerfect and Little Green Light start from the database and add giving tools. Giving platforms such as GoFundMe Pro, Givebutter, Donorbox and Zeffy start from forms and campaign pages. Bloomerang and Neon CRM sell both as one product. The second line is the pricing model: a subscription by record count or revenue, a quote, or a fee or optional tip on each gift.
Pricing was checked in September 2026 on each vendor’s own site. Entries with dated source checks appear first, which records research readiness, not product quality.

Vendor details and trade-offs
Bloomerang sells a donor CRM, online fundraising and volunteer management as one Giving Platform. The pricing page lists Prospect AI and predictive donor insights inside the bundle, together with an expert support team. Every plan allows unlimited users, and the price depends on how many records the organization tracks.
The fundraising product covers customizable donation forms and landing pages, one-time and recurring gifts with upgrade prompts, abandoned-gift reminders, matching-gift options and donor accounts. Event management adds registration forms, promo codes, QR-code check-in and table seating. Auctions and peer-to-peer fundraising are listed as extensions, and text fundraising sends pledge reminders and scheduled messages.
A buyer that only needs forms should note the condition on the $40 starting price: it applies only when bought with Bloomerang CRM.
Potential strengths
- Publishes starting prices and states that every plan has unlimited users
- Auctions, peer-to-peer, text giving and event ticketing sit in the fundraising product
Trade-offs
- Price rises with the number of records in the database
- The fundraising module cannot be bought without the CRM
- Product reference
- Pricing source
- Billing terms: Billed annually
- Source review: checked Sep 22, 2026

Raiser's Edge NXT is Blackbaud's fundraising CRM. It keeps each supporter's giving history, engagement and relationships in one record. Dashboards show annual giving, sustainers and major gifts separately, and reports break results down by campaign, fund and channel. The vendor states that donation form activity can be linked to the email, ad or social post that brought the donor in.
The product puts weight on major gifts. Prospect Insights ranks likely major-gift candidates, and each relationship moves through stages from identification to stewardship. Chat for Blackbaud AI drafts donor summaries and talking points. Agents for Good work on outreach sequencing and follow-up under staff direction, per the vendor. Gift processing covers single gifts and multi-year pledges.
Blackbaud does not publish prices. Its pricing page names the inputs to a quote and states that implementation, training and support are typically included.
Potential strengths
- Reports by campaign, fund and channel and links gifts to the outreach that produced them
- Tracks prospects through identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship
Trade-offs
- No public price for any configuration
- Scoped for established fundraising teams; small organizations have simpler options on this page
- Product reference

Virtuous organizes its platform around CRM+, which combines donor and pipeline management, marketing and communications, event management, reporting and workflow automation. The pricing page lists unlimited users and an app and partner marketplace.
Other products attach to the core. Raise provides donation forms, landing pages and project-based giving. Insights adds first- and third-party donor data, predictive machine learning and scoring. Analytics provides role-based business intelligence and board-ready reports. Volunteer handles recruitment, scheduling and messaging by email, SMS and in-app.
Momentum is the distinct product. It gives major and mid-level gift officers a prioritized donor inbox, drafts personalized emails and builds engagement plans. It logs activity back to the CRM. The vendor states that Momentum integrates with Blackbaud and Bloomerang as well as Virtuous. Prices for every product come from sales.
Potential strengths
- Workflow and journey automation and marketing are part of the core CRM
- Momentum integrates with Blackbaud and Bloomerang, not only Virtuous
Trade-offs
- No public price for the CRM or any module
- Online giving, predictive insights and volunteers are separate products
- Product reference

DonorPerfect is a donor management system sold in three plans. Every plan includes integrated donation, volunteer, membership and event forms, donor portals, payment processing and digital wallet donations. The pricing page also lists automated receipts, grant management tools, a mobile app and live training webinars for all customers.
Email marketing is built in. Each system includes Constant Contact, at the Lite level in Core and Standard in Plus and Pro. Organizations that already use Mailchimp can connect it instead.
Plus adds the tools a growing development team uses: QuickBooks integration, ReadySetAuction for auctions, crowdfunding, moves management, batch gift entry and automated alerts. Pro adds enterprise direct-mail segmentation, enterprise reports and graphs, custom API access and phone support. Plus and Pro include a free trial of Practivated, an AI tool for practicing donor conversations. All three plans are quoted.
Potential strengths
- Every plan includes Constant Contact, volunteer tracking and grant management tools
- The pricing page shows feature differences between Core, Plus and Pro
Trade-offs

Neon One sells several nonprofit products, and Neon CRM is the core. The pricing page groups its features in four areas. Donor management covers supporter profiles, reporting, automated workflows and grant management. Fundraising covers campaigns and forms, peer-to-peer, recurring gifts and donor-advised fund gifts, and payment processing. Communications covers email and text messaging. Stewardship journeys and a donor portal complete the list.
The pricing model is the main difference from most CRMs on this page. Neon CRM starts at $139 a month and is priced by revenue, not by the number of records. The vendor states that there are no record caps.
Separate products extend it. Neon Fundraise, from $158 a month, runs peer-to-peer and endurance-event campaigns. Neon Websites starts at $69 a month. Neon Launch, at $49 a month plus transaction fees, targets new nonprofits.
Potential strengths
- Publishes starting prices for the CRM, peer-to-peer and websites
- No record cap, so list growth does not move the price
Trade-offs
- Revenue-based pricing means cost rises as fundraising grows
- The dedicated peer-to-peer product is priced separately from the CRM
- Product reference
- Pricing source
- Billing terms: Monthly starting price; billing cadence not stated

GoFundMe Pro is the nonprofit fundraising platform of GoFundMe. Its pricing page lists unlimited donation pages and forms, recurring giving, a donor dashboard, campaign templating, marketing analytics, a Giving Cart and an integrations hub. GoFundMe Pay handles payments, and intelligent fraud protection screens transactions.
Two features connect it to the wider GoFundMe product. Each organization gets an editable GoFundMe Nonprofit Page, and peer-to-peer campaigns draw on the GoFundMe community, which the vendor puts at more than 200 million people. Intelligent Ask Amounts suggests gift amounts on forms.
The product is a giving platform rather than a full donor CRM, so many buyers pair it with a CRM. The vendor sells a Salesforce integration as a paid add-on, as well as a Live Events module. There is no list price: a buyer completes a form and receives a recommended plan.
Potential strengths
- Unlimited donation pages and forms are listed in the standard feature set
- Intelligent Ask Amounts suggests gift amounts on forms
Trade-offs
- No list price; a plan is recommended only after a form
- Live events and Salesforce integration cost extra
- Product reference
- Pricing source
- Billing terms: Quote-based; terms not published
- Source review: checked Sep 22, 2026

Givebutter offers donation forms, fundraising pages, events and ticketing, silent auctions, a donor CRM, marketing tools, website widgets and a mobile app for check-in and in-person payments. The core product is free. Donors see an optional tip at checkout, and with tips on the nonprofit pays neither a platform fee nor a processing fee. The vendor states that 92% of donors cover the cost.
Organizations that switch tips off pay a flat 3% platform fee plus standard processing of 2.9% plus 30 cents.
Givebutter Plus adds automated workflows, task management, an advanced email editor, texting, custom reports, data hygiene tools and discounted direct mail. Its price depends on contact count and starts at $29 a month billed annually. Extra contacts are billed in increments of 100. Givebutter Wallet holds funds and pays rewards on balances, per the vendor.
Potential strengths
- The free tier includes unlimited users, contacts, campaigns and email blasts
- Plus can be tested for 30 days without a commitment
Trade-offs
- The free model depends on donors choosing to tip the platform
- Texting, automated workflows and custom reports need Plus
- Product reference
- Pricing source
- Billing terms: Plus billed monthly or annually
- Source review: checked Sep 22, 2026

Donorbox is an online giving product with a donor CRM. The free Standard plan includes unlimited customizable donation forms and pages, crowdfunding and peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, QuickDonate and reporting. Fees on that plan run between 2.95% and 3.95%.
The paid plans lower the per-gift fee in exchange for a subscription. Pro costs $150 a month, with fees between 1.75% and 2%. It adds advanced form customization, tracking and analytics, receipt white-labeling, Zapier and API access, crypto and stock donations, recurring-gift upsells and Jay·AI. Premium, by quote, adds options such as 24/7 priority support, a customer success manager, custom domains and migration of recurring donors, with fees between 1.6% and 2%.
Donorbox Live Kiosk turns a tablet into an on-site donation point for events and exhibits. The buyer's break-even point depends on annual online volume.
Potential strengths
- The free Standard plan includes forms, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer and event ticketing
- The CRM is available on every plan
Trade-offs
- Standard plan fees are the highest per gift of the fee ranges listed

Zeffy offers online donations, event ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns, an online store, raffles and lotteries, auctions, memberships and donor management. The vendor states that all of it is free, with no platform fee and no transaction or card fee. Zeffy covers processing costs itself and earns from optional tips that donors add at checkout.
There is no paid plan, so a small organization gets the same features as a large one. The pricing page compares what a nonprofit keeps on $50,000 raised across several fee models, and the vendor states that more than 100,000 nonprofits use Zeffy.
The trade-off is scope and donor experience. The donor database suits organizations that mostly need receipts and contact history, not moves management or wealth screening. Donors also see the tip request at checkout.
Potential strengths
- Donations, ticketing, memberships, raffles, auctions and an online store at no cost
- No paid tier, so every feature is available to every organization
Trade-offs
- Donors see a tip request at checkout, which some organizations may not want
- Donor management is lighter than in the dedicated CRMs on this page
- Product reference
- Pricing source
- Billing terms: Free; funded by optional donor tips
- Source review: checked Sep 22, 2026

Little Green Light is a cloud donor management system sold as one plan. The price depends only on the number of constituent records and the billing choice. It starts at $45 a month for up to 2,500 records and reaches $135 a month at 50,000. Each further 10,000 records adds $15 a month, to a limit of 200,000.
The vendor lists no setup fees, no cancellation fees, no contracts and no upsells. Every account has the same features and unlimited users. The first 30 days carry no subscription charge, and an organization that leaves can export its data.

- Price rises with the number of constituent records
- Accounts are capped at 200,000 records

Frequently asked questions
What is nonprofit fundraising software?
Nonprofit fundraising software collects gifts and records the donors who give them. Most products combine online donation forms and campaign pages with a donor database, receipts and reports.

Is free fundraising software really free?
Free products earn money another way. Zeffy and Givebutter ask donors for an optional tip at checkout. Givebutter charges a 3% platform fee when tips are off.

What is the difference between fundraising software and a donor CRM?

GoFundMe Pro and Donorbox start from online giving. Raiser's Edge NXT, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light and Virtuous start from the database. Bloomerang and Neon CRM sell both as one product.

Which products suit large nonprofits with major-gift programs?
Raiser's Edge NXT tracks prospects through five stages and ranks major-gift candidates with Prospect Insights. Virtuous sells Momentum, an AI agent that prioritizes donors for gift officers. DonorPerfect includes moves management from its Plus plan. All three quote their prices.
How is pricing calculated for donor databases?
Vendors use different units. Bloomerang and Little Green Light price by record count, and Givebutter Plus by contact count. Neon CRM prices by revenue and states that it has no record caps. Blackbaud prices by organization size, users, modules and support. Donorbox and Givebutter's free tier earn from fees on each gift.
