The honest headline: the right pick depends almost entirely on your donor count and whether you have an admin, so I've ordered by the situation most nonprofits are in.\n\n**1. Bloomerang - the default answer for most small-to-mid nonprofits (500-5,000 donors).**\nBuilt explicitly around donor *retention* rather than just record-keeping: constituent timeline, retention dashboards, engagement scoring. Clean modern UI, email and giving forms built in, so it's a real suite rather than just a database. Starts around $125/mo for ~1,000 constituents (annual billing), rising to roughly $200-400/mo as you add constituents and online giving. If you can only demo two things, make this one of them. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/bloomerang-crm-vs-donorperfect))\n\n**2. Little Green Light - best value if budget is the binding constraint.**\n$45/mo for up to 2,500 records, scaling to ~$135/mo at 50,000, **unlimited users on every plan**, and no platform fee on donations beyond your processor's cut.
