Neon CRM is the broadest of the mid-priced options. The core plan covers supporter profiles, reporting and dashboards, automated workflows and grant management, plus fundraising campaigns and forms, peer-to-peer pages, recurring gifts and donor-advised fund giving through its own payment processor. Communications are built in too, with email marketing at unlimited sends, text messaging, stewardship journeys and a donor portal. Every plan includes unlimited contacts, users, forms, workflows, emails and reports, and live chat, email and phone support come at no extra cost. Pricing starts at $99 a month and follows your fundraising revenue rather than your record count. Memberships and Volunteers add 10% to the subscription each and Events adds 20%, so a nonprofit that needs all three should price the full bundle. Neon says it is built for nonprofits in the US and Canada, which makes it a weaker fit elsewhere.

Who it is for

Price
