Grow your revenue without penalty.

Neon One’s revenue-based pricing rewards a bloated database and punishes revenue growth with escalating costs. Empower your growth with Bloomerang’s transparent, contact-based pricing that’s predictable. No hidden add-ons or surprising increases as you raise more.

Data Management Overview 2 Update

Clear insights, no more clunky reports.

Neon One’s reports are often described as cumbersome and limited in advanced analytics, requiring users to set report criteria on one screen and then switch to a different screen to view results, which can be time-consuming and frustrating.

Bloomerang offers intuitive, drag-and-drop reports built on a unified platform. Instantly pull insights across fundraising, donor engagement, volunteer, and more—no toggling between screens required.

“The reporting is night and day. We did them with Bloomerang last year, and it took maybe two hours at most.”
Tanya Moran, Philanthropy Operations Coordinator
Marshall Foundation for Community Health
