The report card
Best for donor management for nonprofits
Bloomerang is a donor management and fundraising platform for nonprofits. No price is published, the plans are annual and based on constituents, and it isn't meant as a general sales pipeline.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the page builds a quote from your details, so the cost is graded in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed. The pricing page leads to a demo. |
| Features | C | Constituent profiles, giving insights, email campaigns, data cleanup, a mobile app and volunteer management. It is built for nonprofit fundraising, not general sales. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Importing donors and setting up campaigns is setup work. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android, with QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and DonorSearch connections. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
5/72
Other CRM tools it is graded above
Bloomerang's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 5 of the 72 other CRM tools we grade, and level with 11.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 10 of 72) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category

- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 10 of 72
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Bloomerang you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 56 of the 72 other CRM tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Bloomerang’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
