Compare GoFundMe Pro / Classy to Bloomerang
Top reasons why nonprofits choose Bloomerang over GoFundMe Pro / Classy.
Built on transparency and trust.
Bloomerang was built for nonprofits, not donor confusion. GoFundMe (the parent company of GoFundMe Pro/Classy) recently created donation pages without consent, putting their own growth ahead of nonprofit control. Bloomerang ensures every fundraising page is nonprofit-owned, accurate, and secure.
“I used Bloomerang at my previous organization and immediately implemented it after starting with my new organization.”
Stop patching systems together.
GoFundMe Pro is a powerful tool for fundraising transactions, but it’s just one tool. It’s not a complete giving platform. Nonprofits report that to actually manage their donor relationships, they still need a separate CRM, forcing them to create a “franken-system.” We see organizations struggling to patch data from Classy into Bloomerang with tools like Zapier, just to get a complete view of their supporters.
“Why couldn’t I have found Bloomerang five years ago when I was trying to figure out our next step? I was just blown away with everything. It’s a breath of fresh air to make a donation this way!”
Focused on relationships, not transactions.
GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) is built for transactions, not relationships. By just capturing one-time gifts, it neglects the donor journey. Bloomerang, on the other hand, is built to help you strengthen long-term connections. With fundraising, engagement, and reporting all in one system, Bloomerang empowers you to retain more donors and steward every relationship with care.
Straightforward, clear pricing.
Bloomerang’s pricing is public and our transaction fees are clear. GoFundMe Pro offers a baseline with “starting at” pricing, yet full platform pricing and feature breakdowns are only available through a sales conversation.

“Bloomerang lets us see our progress in real time, adjust our strategies accordingly, and set more ambitious goals. One of the best aspects of this company is that it strives to implement comprehensive services tailored to the needs of each nonprofit, rather than designing a product and services for a one-size-fits-all platform.”

Questions you may have before making a decision.
Yes! Bloomerang provides powerful, user-friendly tools for online giving forms, peer-to-peer fundraising, and event management. The key difference is that our tools are natively integrated with your donor database. This means you’re not just running a campaign; you’re capturing rich, actionable data in a complete donor profile from the start.
Not quite. That “sync” is often an expensive, complex, and sometimes clunky integration that creates data silos and requires constant management. Bloomerang is your CRM. It’s not a separate tool you have to patch in. Every donation, email, and event registration is automatically part of a complete 360-degree donor profile, giving you a single source of truth without any syncing.
With Bloomerang, yes. Your data is 100% yours, stored in a system built exclusively for nonprofits. GoFundMe Pro is part of the massive GoFundMe consumer brand, which means your donors and data may live within a much larger network. This can cause brand confusion for your supporters. Bloomerang keeps your data and communications 100% nonprofit-focused, so your relationship with your donors remains yours.
There’s a better alternative—and nonprofits know it.
Leave the limitations behind. Raise more and build stronger relationships with Bloomerang.
