Bloomerang Starts at $125 a Month. Salesforce Is $60 Per User. Zeffy Is $0.

Why choose Zeffy over Bloomerang for donor management?

Zeffy gives you complete donor management with zero fees. While Bloomerang charges card fees plus a 1% platform cut on every donation, Zeffy keeps 100% of your funds. You get donor tracking, automated thank-you emails, and detailed giving reports without paying monthly subscriptions or transaction fees.

How does Zeffy compare to Salesforce for small nonprofits?

Zeffy offers everything small nonprofits need without Salesforce's complexity or cost. While Salesforce charges $60 per user monthly plus card fees and requires technical setup, Zeffy provides ready-to-use donor management, online forms, and payment processing at zero cost to your organization.

Can Zeffy handle both donations and donor relationships like other CRMs?

Yes, Zeffy combines donation processing with donor management in one platform. Unlike Bloomerang or Salesforce that require separate payment processors, Zeffy handles everything from online giving forms to donor profiles and communication tracking, all with zero fees to your nonprofit.

What makes Zeffy different from traditional donor management systems?

Zeffy combines donor management with payment processing at zero cost. Unlike Bloomerang's 1% platform fees or Salesforce's $60 monthly charges, you keep every dollar donated while tracking donor relationships, sending automated thank-yous, and generating giving reports.

How does Zeffy's zero-fee model work for donor management?

Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support Zeffy's platform. This means your nonprofit pays nothing for donor database management, online giving forms, or payment processing while maintaining complete donor records and communication history.

How does Bloomerang pricing compare to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud?

Bloomerang publishes donor management starting at $125 a month billed annually, with its full connected suite starting at $242 a month. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud Enterprise is $60 per user per month, billed annually, and Salesforce states its Nonprofit Cloud editions require an annual contract. Eligible nonprofits get 10 licenses at no cost through the Power of Us Program. The practical difference is that Bloomerang's floor is the same whether one person uses it or ten, while Salesforce's bill only starts climbing once you pass ten users. Zeffy has neither a monthly floor nor a per-user cost.

Do Bloomerang and Salesforce include fundraising, or only donor records?

Both split it up. Bloomerang prices fundraising separately from donor management, listing fundraising from $40 a month and volunteer management from $119 a month on top of the $125 donor management tier. Salesforce's Nonprofit Cloud Enterprise list names the nonprofit data model, the nonprofit toolkit and accounting subledger, fundraising, programs and outcomes, and volunteer management, but not peer-to-peer fundraising, event ticketing or payment processing. Zeffy includes donation forms, event ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns and donor management in one platform.

Can a small nonprofit afford either one?

It depends where your costs sit. A nonprofit with fewer than ten staff who need logins can run Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud on the 10 Power of Us licenses at no license cost, though it still needs a separate tool to collect donations. Bloomerang's published floor is $125 a month regardless of team size. Zeffy costs nothing at any size, and donors are the ones offered the option to contribute.
