Sumac 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 Sumac 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
- Donor and gift management
- Case management module
- Memberships and volunteers
- Grant management
- Role based permissions
- Custom fields and forms
People bring Sumac in for a social service agency that must record client cases and donor gifts without buying two systems, a charity that wants only donor and grant modules and refuses to pay for an events suite it will not use, a canadian organisation wanting local support hours and receipting conventions, an agency replacing a legacy access or filemaker database with something supported. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Sumac 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 Sumac badges page.
Before you pay for Sumac
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 Sumac against the tools that do have one before committing.
Sumac runs on web, windows, and is published by Silent Partner Software of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The full record is on the Sumac review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
