THE NEON ONE ALTERNATIVE

Compare Bloomerang to Neon One

Overview

Top reasons why nonprofits choose Bloomerang over Neon One.

Raise more with the team you have.

Penny, a fundraising AI partner built into Bloomerang, turns insight into clear next steps—allowing you to prioritize outreach and keep relationships personal.

“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

Customer Stories

Switching to Bloomerang, the ideal Neon One alternative.

Oregon FFA aims to prepare young people for a successful future but struggled using Neon One due to disorganized records, limited reporting, and inefficient processes. They knew they had the potential to raise more, and switching to Bloomerang’s Giving Platform enabled them to increase operational efficiency, re-engage 25 lapsed donors, and achieve a 57% donor retention rate.

“I refer to Neon One as a failed product. In hindsight, Neon CRM was absolutely choking us. We had no ability to be consistent, sustainable, or professional in any work we were doing with them.”

Feature Comparison

Neon One

A giving platform designed to grow donor value.

Bloomerang’s unified Giving Platform connects every donation, message, and interaction to one supporter record so you see the full picture and follow up faster to improve retention and lifetime value.

Neon often requires additional tools or integrations for an end-to-end view, creating data gaps, and more manual work.

Neon One

Fundraising guidance that turns data into action.

Bloomerang includes Penny, built-in AI that turns donor and campaign data into clear next steps. Penny helps teams prioritize outreach, draft communications, and move faster—without relying on guesswork.

Without an AI fundraising guide, teams often have to manually segment donors, decide who to contact, and plan next steps—adding time and inconsistency to follow-through.

Neon One

Instant answers, right in your workflow.

Bloomerang Chat delivers real-time, AI-powered answers so you can keep moving. Quickly troubleshoot issues, get next steps, and connect to a human expert when needed.

Neon One often gates real-time support behind higher-tier plans or paid add-ons so access can vary by tier or add-ons, and responsiveness may depend on what you purchase.

Neon One

Mobile fundraising on the go.

Access your giving platform anywhere on iOS and Android. Look up supporters, accept Tap to Pay, manage events, and thank donors in real time—capturing generosity when it happens.

With Neon, mobile access and functionality can be more limited, especially for on-the-spot fundraising and donor engagement.

Neon One

Wealth insights included

Predictive Giving Insights are built into donor profiles, helping you spot high-potential supporters and take action with built-in reports so major gift work is easier to prioritize.

Comparable donor intelligence typically requires paid add-ons.

Neon One

Fundraising tools with predictable costs.

Launch donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, and events with tools designed to grow recurring giving and track performance clearly, showing what’s working without guesswork.

Neon One Fundraising and payment costs can vary by plan, add-ons, and processing setup making Neon’s total costs hard to forecast over time.

Neon One

Events that scale without surprise add-on costs.

Create polished registration experiences, manage seating, streamline check-in, and wrap up quickly with built-in reporting, so your team can run revenue-driving events without stitching together tools or paying per-feature fees.

Neon One gates key event capabilities (including assigned seating) behind add-ons, increasing total event costs and making them hard to predict as attendance grows.

Neon One

One platform, endless connections.

The Bloomerang Giving Platform offers a comprehensive fundraising, CRM, and volunteer solution, combining powerful fundraising features with advanced constituent management to drive better outcomes. Gain even deeper insights by integrating Bloomerang with your favorite tools. Easily connect with Mailchimp, Constant Contact, QuickBooks, DonorSearch, and more for a smooth and streamlined experience.

“We use almost all of the integrations. We import our Shopify and photographic print orders into Bloomerang through Zapier, segment and communicate by email through Mailchimp, and have GeoTargetly and Fundraise Up implemented on our site.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions you may have before making a decision.

Neon’s pricing may seem cheaper upfront if you have a large database—but that low price often reflects a deeper problem: you’re storing a lot of one-time donors who aren’t giving again. If your contacts were actively engaged and contributing, your revenue would grow, and so would your pricing tier with Neon.

Bloomerang is built to help you raise more from every donor. The platform focuses on turning those one-time donors into loyal supporters through tools that improve retention, recurring giving, and lifetime value. You shouldn’t be penalized for growing your fundraising—you should be empowered to achieve it. Don’t limit your revenue potential just to stay on a cheaper plan. Your mission deserves more.

Bloomerang is a unified giving platform, an ecosystem of solutions where fundraising, CRM, and volunteer solutions work seamlessly as one. This means you get power without complexity. Every part of the platform strengthens the other—CRM fuels smarter fundraising, and volunteer activity deepens engagement scores. You’ll have a single view of every supporter, connected data for reporting, and you can even send outreach directly from the platform. It’s a unified experience that helps your entire team raise more together.

Bloomerang Giving Platform is designed to grow with you. Whether you’re expanding your team, launching new programs, or scaling your impact, you won’t encounter clunky workarounds or the need to switch systems. The Bloomerang Giving Platform and powerful integrations ensure your software never holds you back.

Bloomerang isn’t just software—it’s a partner in your purpose. The Bloomerang team brings deep nonprofit experience and personalized guidance, not generic tech support. Receive lightning-fast chat responses from a real human in as little as two seconds and prompt email responses, resolving most inquiries in less than a day, far exceeding industry standards.

Bloomerang understands the importance getting up and running fast, that’s why you’re provided with tailored data migration and coaching services, designed to help you get up and running in a flash. With assistance, clients can begin using their database for fundraising immediately after signing their contract, and complete their data migration within as little as 3 weeks.

With Neon One, customers have reported waiting weeks between onboarding sessions due to poor staffing, causing significant delays before they can effectively use their tool.
