Can Zeffy handle both payments and donor data unlike other platforms?
Yes, Zeffy combines payment processing with donor management in one platform at zero cost. While competitors like Little Green Light and Salesforce require separate payment processors and charge fees, Zeffy handles everything seamlessly.
How does Little Green Light pricing compare to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud?
They bill on completely different things. Little Green Light charges by how many constituents you store: $45 a month up to 2,500, then $60 at 5,000, $75 at 10,000, $90 at 20,000 and $135 at 50,000, plus $15 a month for each additional 10,000 records. Salesforce charges by how many people use it: Nonprofit Cloud Enterprise is $60 per user per month billed annually, with 10 licenses at no cost through the Power of Us Program. So a three-person team with 8,000 contacts pays Little Green Light $75 a month and stays inside Salesforce's free licenses. A fifteen-person team with 1,000 contacts is the opposite. Zeffy is $0 either way, with no contact limit and no per-user cost.
Does Little Green Light or Salesforce take a cut of donations?
Little Green Light publishes online payments starting at 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction, and says that goes to the payment processor with no fee to Little Green Light itself. Salesforce is different in kind: payment processing is not part of the Nonprofit Cloud feature list, so donations run through a separate tool that brings its own fees on top of the per-user subscription. With Zeffy there is no platform fee and no processing fee passed to your nonprofit.
Do Little Green Light and Salesforce lock you into a contract?
Little Green Light publishes both monthly and annual billing, with 10% off if you pay annually, so month to month is an option. Salesforce states that its Nonprofit Cloud editions require an annual contract. Zeffy has no contract and nothing to cancel.
