For smaller organizations who don't have extensive data needs (i.e. not many audiences to segment) and who don't need robust reporting, this works great.

Fundraise Up
FundraiseUp is best utilized in arenas where the non-profit has some room for growth/expansion and/or the market is medium/large (100,000+ city). Small audience organizations might see some improvement but in my estimation won't see the ROI from the 5% (or more) charge per donation. Both well-established orgs and growing ministries can benefit from this platform. Another great reason to go with FRU is the incredibly easy user-interface for both the donor and the admin. The AI features built into the form provide incredible LIVE adjustments to optimize conversions and monthly giving. It is worth the extra cost (per donation) if you're community is large enough

Easy to use interface, far superior to classic. You did this right.

Fundraise Up
For both donors and admin, Fundraise Up is the best donation platform (gateway) that I have ever used. It is optimized throughout the experience to be incredibly easy and unmatched in how robust it is. The many options Fundraise Up provides from sticky buttons, to pop-ups, to full landing pages is diverse and serves any need an org might have.

Support Rating
Bonterra
Support response has been swift and knowledgable, though not always the answer I've wanted. One huge design flaw is if I add a new Salesforce field to sync, Salsa Engage will not sync it unless it has changed since the last sync, requiring me to fake an update for an entire database or re-sync the whole enchilada. Better to recognize it's a new Salesforce field and perform the sync en masse.

EveryAction is a lot cheaper, but Salsa has more featured with targeting certain elected officials/better text messaging strategies

Fundraise Up
Fundraise Up understands their lane and they absolutely nail it! They have worked hard to be the very best in their niche and have gone above and beyond to integrate with other solutions for a streamlined approach to data management. I have not experienced a better solution in my almost 20 years of nonprofit marketing.
