Bloomerang
Raise more
Bloomerang offers robust donor management tools, but Givebutter is an all-in-one platform that has a nonprofit CRM baked into its full suite of modern fundraising tools. Nonprofits can also take advantage of features Bloomerang doesn't offer—without getting locked into a year-long contract—when they choose Givebutter.
.svg)
Pay less
Bloomerang requires annual payments that increase with the number of contacts and features you choose, while Givebutter provides a flexible, all-in-one fundraising solution with no long-term commitments. Nonprofits can access a wide range of free tools and test advanced features for 30 days, making Givebutter the more affordable and adaptable choice.

Give better
Don’t settle for outdated online giving solutions. Like Givebutter, Bloomerang customer support gets high ratings, but nonprofits especially love Givebutter’s user-friendly interface and easy setup.
Raise more
Primarily a nonprofit CRM, Bloomerang provides key data management and reporting features, donor timelines, segmentation, wealth screening, and even grant tracking. Bloomerang fundraising features, on the other hand, come as an add-on and are limited in comparison to what Givebutter has to offer.
With Givebutter, your donor database seamlessly connects with world-class nonprofit marketing features (like built-in Canva design tools for emails), plus fun and engaging fundraising tools, including live display, interactive supporter feeds, and silent auction management.
Givebutter also offers a native integration with Bloomerang CRM, but you can simplify your experience by moving everything to one platform.

Pay less
Bloomerang requires nonprofits to pay annually, with pricing that scales based on the number of contacts and features you select—costs that can quickly add up as your organization grows.
In contrast, Givebutter offers an all-in-one solution with the widest variety of free fundraising tools and a built-in CRM, without locking you into long-term commitments. Optional advanced features can be tested commitment-free for 30 days, giving nonprofits more flexibility and affordability at every stage.

How is Givebutter free?
Givebutter’s core fundraising features are free thanks to optional tips we receive from donors. If you prefer to disable tips, a small platform fee applies instead. Givebutter Plus offers an additional suite of advanced features starting at $29/month.
Give better
Online reviews consistently rate Bloomerang support highly. But with a platform experience built for simplicity, Givebutter still comes out on top.

We needed a streamlined platform to hold a virtual auction and sell tickets for a hybrid (livestreamed and in-person) annual fundraising event. Givebutter had both and was incredibly easy to learn how to use, especially given that it is essentially free to use. Other platforms we've used in the past have cost upwards of $2,000 and had clunky functionality and user experience.
