It does the core job - constituent records, gift tracking, segmented mailings, reports - without the sprawl. Consistently ~4.8/5 on Capterra. The catch: pricing scales with record count, so a big list gets expensive. ([Little Green Light review](https://www.smartthoughts.net/post/the-little-green-light-crm-donor-management-software-review), [LGL vs DonorPerfect](https://www.itqlick.com/compare/little-green-light/donorperfect-fundraising-software))\n2. **Givebutter** - if you have essentially no software budget. Free platform (it makes money on optional donor tips and payment processing), with unlimited contacts and users, plus forms, events, auctions, and peer-to-peer built in. Weaker as a *database* than LGL - thinner reporting and segmentation - but unbeatable for campaign/event fundraising on zero budget.
