CharityEngine 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.

What the product covers
The full CharityEngine feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- In-house payment processing
- Recurring giving recovery
- Direct mail segmentation
- Peer-to-peer and events
- Advocacy and membership
- Marketing automation
People bring CharityEngine in for a nonprofit processing high recurring gift volume that wants card updater and dunning built into the crm rather than bought separately, replacing a stack of a crm, an email tool and a separate donation gateway with one contract and one reconciliation, a direct mail heavy organisation that needs offline gift entry and mail file segmentation as first-class features, not add-ons, an organisation whose finance team wants a single settlement file that already reconciles to donor records. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to CharityEngine are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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 CharityEngine badges page.
Before you pay for CharityEngine
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: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare CharityEngine against the tools that do have one before committing.
CharityEngine runs on web, and is published by Online Portfolio, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The full record is on the CharityEngine review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
