This is unusual for a software product, as most commercial software companies have a presence on at least one major review platform. I found one source (Zeffy comparison page) that mentioned AlumnIQ has a value for money rating of 4.7/5, but I could not verify this rating through Capterra or other independent review sites. AlumnIQ's own website mentions an NPS score of 77.8 for their training sessions and emphasizes their customer support approach, but this is self-reported data rather than independent customer reviews. Without access to verified customer reviews on standard platforms, I cannot provide reliable ratings for ease of use, quality of support, or a Capterra-specific value for money rating.","confidence":"medium","stepsTaken":["Searched Google with query \"AlumnIQ site:capterra.com\".

Why Zeffy over AlumnIQ?

Why Zeffy over Zeffy and AlumnIQ?

Keep 100% of donations instead of paying hidden fees

🔍

Your alumni deserve better than hidden fees

AlumnIQ's undisclosed pricing and payment gaps mean donors never know where their money goes. Zeffy's 100% free platform builds trust with transparent giving.

🤹‍♂️

Stop juggling five tools for one fundraiser

AlumnIQ requires third-party integrations for payments, auctions, and stores. Zeffy handles donations, events, and donor management in one simple platform.

Get started in minutes, not months

AlumnIQ's complex setup and undisclosed pricing mean waiting weeks for answers. Zeffy gets your fundraising live today with simple onboarding and zero contracts.

Zeffy combines donor management with zero-fee fundraising, so you keep 100% of donations while tracking relationships. AlumnIQ charges fees on every gift, reducing your impact.

Does Zeffy offer the same CRM features as AlumnIQ?
