The short version

  • Each has a real cost: DonorPerfect the pricing page publishes only a 'starting at $99/month' figure and asks for a custom quote for the Core, Plus and Pro tiers; OneCause pricing page names three tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Nationals) but publishes no dollar figures, requiring a request for the pay-as-you-go rate and a custom quote for Enterprise and Nationals, as of August 2026
