The report card
Best for donor management and fundraising for nonprofits
DonorPerfect is a donor database with forms and payments, email, reports, direct mail and a mobile app. No price is published; the quote comes from your constituent count and tier, and QuickBooks, moves management and the API sit on higher tiers.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price published; it is a custom quote from constituent count and tier. At the ordinary grade until a figure is on record. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on record, so the first step is a demo or a quote. |
| Features | C | Donor database, forms and payments, email, reports, direct mail and a mobile app. QuickBooks, crowdfunding, moves management and batch gift entry start at Plus, and API access is Pro only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Importing records and setting up forms and reports comes first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with a mobile app, plus Constant Contact, Mailchimp, QuickBooks and ReadySetAuction. |
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.
Who DonorPerfect is for
- Fits if you are a nonprofit that wants a donor database with a mobile app
- Works for teams that need QuickBooks or moves management and will pay for Plus
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price list, because the quote follows your record count and tier
- Tight if you are on Core: QuickBooks, moves management and batch entry need Plus
- Not for you if you need the API, as it is limited to Pro
- Watch out: phone support starts at Pro, and Core and Plus get chat
Good to know
Good for
- Nonprofits that want email, forms and payments inside the donor database
- Teams that need moves management for major gifts
- Organizations that want phone support and onboarding help
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: the vendor builds a custom quote from the constituent count and tier.
- QuickBooks, crowdfunding, moves management and batch gift entry start at Plus, not Core.
- Custom API access is limited to the Pro tier, and phone support also starts there; Core and Plus get chat.

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 DonorPerfect 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: 80 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Forms and reports: 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.
What this rests on. DonorPerfect’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.
