Bloomerang Alternatives

Neon CRM is the alternative that looks most like Bloomerang on paper, and that is exactly why it tops this list. It is a full donor CRM: supporter profiles, reporting and dashboards, automated workflows and grant management on the data side; campaigns, forms, peer-to-peer, recurring gifts and payment processing on the fundraising side; email marketing, text messaging, stewardship journeys and a donor portal for communications. Bloomerang users who move here keep the same daily routine.

The difference is the pricing unit. Bloomerang prices on constituents, so every donor you add can push you into a higher bracket. Neon CRM charges on your organization's revenue, not on record counts, and includes unlimited records, users, emails, forms, automated workflows and reports. The price starts at $99 a month. Optional modules are priced as a share of the CRM fee: +10% for Memberships and Volunteers, +20% for Events. At the entry price, the Events module alone brings the bill to $118.80 a month, still a figure you can read before any sales call.

Support is included: live chat, email and phone at no extra cost. Onboarding comes as packages, from guided self-service to full-service data migration, each tailored to your nonprofit's needs.

Little Green Light, LGL for short, is the answer for teams that left Bloomerang because of the bill. It is one plan with every feature, and the price depends only on the number of constituent records and on whether you pay monthly or prepay. Up to 2,500 constituents, it costs $45 a month on monthly billing; up to 5,000, $60; up to 10,000, $75; up to 50,000, $135. Above that, add $15 a month for each extra block of 10,000 records.

Prepaying lowers it again: 12 months give a 10% discount, so 2,500 constituents cost $486 a year, or $40.50 a month. Prepaying 3 or 6 months gives 2.5% or 5%. Users are unlimited, and there is no contract and no cancellation fee: you can export your data and leave with no penalty. The first 30 days are free, with no credit card required.

Online donations go through LGL forms at no extra charge from LGL; the processor takes from 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction. Support works by email during office hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 7:00pm Eastern, with most replies within 1 to 2 hours, plus live Q&A webinars twice a week. It is a donor database first: teams that want automation-heavy journeys or built-in texting will find more in Neon CRM.

Givebutter starts from the opposite end of Bloomerang: fundraising first, CRM included. Its free plan has unlimited users, contacts, email blasts and campaigns, with donation forms, campaign pages, events and ticketing, auctions, a mobile app for check-in and a donor CRM. Support is free for everyone, by live chat and email, 24/7.

It is free because of optional donor tips. With tips on, you pay $0 in platform fees and donors are invited to cover processing; what they do not cover, Givebutter absorbs. With tips off, a flat 3% platform fee applies, plus processing at 2.9% + 30¢ for cards and 1.9% + 30¢ for ACH. That choice matters more than any plan: on a $100 card gift with tips off, $3 goes to the platform and $3.20 to processing.

Givebutter Plus adds automated workflows, task management, ready-made reports, texting, video messages, QuickBooks Online sync and priority phone support; our nonprofit accounting software ranking covers the accounting side. Every plan connects to over 1,000 apps natively and through Zapier: see the Givebutter integration for Zapier. Plus is the only part priced by contacts: it starts at $29 a month billed annually ($348 a year), or $33.80 on monthly billing, and rises with your contact tier. You can cancel Plus from the dashboard at any time, effective at the end of the billing period. Teams that run email-heavy programs can compare it with our nonprofit email marketing picks; teams that send direct mail appeals or need grant tracking will still find Neon CRM more complete.

Keela is a donor CRM with email marketing, unlimited donation forms, automation, membership management, project management, and tax receipts built in. Its strongest argument for a Bloomerang user is where the data lives: Keela stores it in the United States, Canada or Australia, depending on where your nonprofit is based, on Microsoft Azure servers. Tax receipting is IRS, CRA or ACNC compliant. For a Canadian or Australian charity that cannot legally store donor data abroad, that settles the question.

Pricing scales with your number of contacts, in five published tiers. Up to 1,000 contacts, plans start from $164 a month on annual billing or $190 on monthly billing. From 2,501 to 5,000 contacts, $316 a month annually or $357 monthly; from 7,501 to 10,000, $438 or $489. Above 10,000 contacts, Keela prices a custom package on request. Every plan includes unlimited forms, emails and donations, and Keela adds no transaction fee: PayPal and Stripe charge their nonprofit rate of 2.2% + 30 cents.

Standard Care, included, means unlimited email support from 9am to 5pm Pacific. Live chat and scheduled phone support are part of Premium Care, from $200 a month. Pipelines, texting and wealth screening are extra features sold through sales.

Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the heavyweight of the list. It is not a donor CRM you switch on in a weekend: it is a platform that a trained admin or an implementation partner shapes around your programs, fundraising and service delivery. Teams leave Bloomerang for it when they need custom objects, complex permissions or a link between donors and program data that a small-nonprofit CRM does not model.

Licensing is per user, unlike Bloomerang's unlimited users. Through the Power of Us program, any eligible nonprofit receives 10 Nonprofit Cloud licenses at no cost. Past those 10, Sales & Service Core costs $70 per user per month, Advanced $125 and the Max editions $285, all billed annually. A team of 12 that stays on Core pays for 2 seats: $1,680 a year. The license is rarely the full cost, though: configuration, data migration and training usually go to a partner, and that is where most of the budget goes.

In return, you get custom objects, fine-grained permissions and the AppExchange, where apps and integrations exist for most systems a large nonprofit runs. If your team has no admin and no budget for one, the free licenses can become the most expensive option on this page. Our Salesforce alternatives page covers teams moving the other way.

DonorDock goes against record-based pricing entirely. There is one plan, called One, at $500 a month billed annually, with unlimited contacts and every feature from day one: donor management, bulk email, text messages, task automations, online giving, reports, project management and a QuickBooks sync. A one-time premium onboarding of $3,800 is added, and it covers white-glove data migration.

The plan includes 5 users, 10,000 marketing emails a month, 1,000 text message credits a month and 10 automations. Past that, each extra user costs $40 a month, 10,000 extra emails $45, 1,000 extra text credits $19, and 5 more automations $60 a month. Online donations made through DonorDock giving pages carry a 2% platform fee, with Stripe or PayPal processing on top.

Do the first-year math before you decide: $6,000 of subscription plus $3,800 of onboarding is $9,800. That is a lot for a 2,000-donor shop, which is better served by Little Green Light. For an organization with 50,000 records, a single price that never moves can come out ahead of a constituent-based quote. DonorDock also states no long-term contracts, cancel anytime and a 90-day money-back guarantee, which removes some of the risk that pushes people away from Bloomerang's annual terms.
