Little Green Light is the value pick on this list. Every account gets every feature and unlimited users, and the only thing that changes the price is how many constituent records you store: $45 a month up to 2,500, $75 up to 10,000 and $135 up to 50,000, with 10% off for annual billing. Within that, the feature list covers what a small development office does every day: gift and pledge tracking, acknowledgments and receipts by mail or email, mail-merge letters and labels, list building and segmentation, and built-in, custom and scheduled reports. It also tracks major gift tasks, grant proposals, events, volunteers, memberships and alumni class years. LGL's own online donation forms sync gifts into records, and LGL takes no cut of donations. Support runs by email on weekdays from 9am to 7pm Eastern, plus twice-weekly live Q&A webinars. It has fewer predictive and automation tools than the leaders here.
