Cause IQ plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Cause IQ pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Standard	$95/month	2	Entry tier
Advanced	$200/month	3	+$105/month, 3 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Standard

$95/month

The entry tier. It covers donor management, event management.

Advanced

$200/month

Over Standard, this tier adds:

Prospect research
Fundraising reports
Advanced analytics

People bring Cause IQ in for prospect research across nonprofit organisations, benchmarking a nonprofit client against peers, building target lists for firms serving the sector, enriching existing records with nonprofit financial data.

How that compares in Nonprofits

Too few nonprofits tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Cause IQ badges page.

Before you pay for Cause IQ

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $95/month and $200/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Cause IQ against the tools that do have one before committing.

Cause IQ runs on web, and is published by Cause IQ Inc. of Boulder, USA. The full record is on the Cause IQ review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
