## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: the right answer depends almost entirely on your budget and donor count, so here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up. (Worth knowing upfront: most "top 10 donor CRM" lists you'll find are published by the vendors themselves - Bloomerang's blog ranks Bloomerang first - so treat the rankings accordingly.)
> 
> **1. Bloomerang** - my default recommendation for small-to-midsize orgs (roughly $250K-$5M budgets). It's built around donor *retention* rather than just recordkeeping: engagement scoring, retention dashboards, and reporting that tells you who's slipping away. Around $125/month at the entry tier. Best all-around balance of usability and depth.
> 
> **2. Little Green Light** - the best value in the category, and what I'd suggest if you're coming off spreadsheets or a shoebox. Flat, transparent constituent-based pricing: ~$45/mo up to 2,500 constituents, ~$75/mo at 10,000, ~$135/mo at 50,000 - and every feature is included at every tier. Trade-off is scope: no case management, no grant workflow, no built-in event ticketing, minimal automation beyond acknowledgments.
> 
> **3. Zeffy** - if budget is genuinely zero. Truly free (no platform or transact
