> The honest answer is that "best" depends almost entirely on your budget and donor count, so here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:

Starts around $99-$179/mo depending on tier, and critically it prices on *revenue* rather than contact count - so a big, low-dollar mailing list doesn't punish you. Good fit for membership orgs and anything event-heavy.
> 
> **3. DonorPerfect - best for complex gift handling and reporting.** Twenty-plus years in the market, and it shows in the depth: p
