Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bloomerang

  • Pricing is based on the number of constituent records tracked, so the bill grows with the database rather than with usage
  • The all in one Giving Platform starts at $242 a month billed annually
  • The products are sold separately, with Fundraising from $40 a month, CRM from $125 and Volunteer from $119, so a full stack means stacking subscriptions
  • Every published price is a starting figure billed annually, with exact cost requiring a sales conversation

VolunteerHub

  • Both published plans are billed annually and carry a set up fee on top of the monthly figure
  • The entry Plus plan starts at $143 per month and Pro at $288 per month, both quoted as starting prices
  • Plans carry a user limit; only volunteers inactive for a full twelve months stop counting against it
  • Single Sign-On is an optional paid add-on on every tier including Enterprise, not an included feature
  • Background check integrations with Sterling Volunteers and PeopleFacts are optional paid add-ons on every tier
  • CRM integrations such as Raiser's Edge are optional add-ons rather than included
  • Volunteer fundraising is optional on Plus and Pro and carries a processing fee when used
  • The Enterprise tier has no published price and requires contacting sales
