Neon One
Raise more
Neon One offers some noteworthy nonprofit CRM and donation features, but many users report difficulty using the interface—and hefty fees. In contrast, Givebutter provides modern fundraising features that are easy to use and free to access thanks to optional donor tips.

Pay less
Unlike Neon One’s tiered monthly pricing plans, nonprofits can enjoy a full suite of free fundraising, marketing, and donor management features on Givebutter. For organizations looking to supercharge their Givebutter experience, advanced features are available to test out commitment-free for 30 days.

Give better
User reviews comment on Neon One's outdated interface and unclear pricing plans. Meanwhile, Givebutter offers top ratings for fundraising and donor management software, empowering changemakers with tools that make giving easy, free, and fun.

Neon One offers a whole host of tools, including its acclaimed donor management software. And while Neon One CRM features include some great donor tracking functionality, access to these tools—and their other offerings—costs a pretty penny.

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.

Neon CRM reviews do not paint a picture of an easy-to-use platform. In comparison, Givebutter reviews highlight its standout customer service and one-on-one assistance, making it one of the highest-rated fundraising and donor management software solutions on the market.

Givebutter has everything you need with a donor CRM but is also affordable (free!) and has the customization you need to be successful. The silent auction software helped change our auction this year and made it a billion times better.
