Questions you may have before making a decision.
Bloomerang simplifies constituent management with an intuitive interface, allowing your team to focus on fundraising instead of software. Bloomerang Giving Platform is renowned for its ease of navigation, particularly for teams with limited technical skills. In contrast, DonorPerfect’s complexity demands a steep learning curve and presents navigation challenges.
The number one thing we hear is “it’s way easier in Bloomerang to run custom reports.” Customers who have switched from DonorPerfect say that it’s manual, complicated, and often requires cross-referencing multiple reports to obtain the information they need.
Want proof? Here’s a tip: Think of a custom report you’d like to see. Then, ask your sales rep to show you how you’d run it for your own organization.

DonorPerfect’s initial pricing can be deceptive, as they attract new customers with low introductory prices, discounted fees, and potentially even a free first year. But be aware that essential features often require costly add-ons. Bloomerang prioritizes transparent and predictable pricing, providing greater long-term value than DonorPerfect’s pricing game.
Bloomerang provides a dedicated migration specialist along with a clear process for transitioning data, which customers find reassuring. DonorPerfect users have reported frustrations with data extraction and migration, citing difficulties in mapping and organizing data. Additionally, Bloomerang offers more seamless integrations with tools like QuickBooks and email marketing platforms, whereas DonorPerfect often requires extra manual steps or external tools.
There’s a better alternative—and nonprofits know it.
