Candid GuideStar vs. Donorbox

It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.

I think Donorbox is well suited to an environment that has a lot of traffic and could be prone to bottlenecks, like a check-in desk, where it's an important spot to engage visitors for donations but cannot be efficiently done in an individual, personal way - much more engaging to have it as a self-serve kiosk that visitors can engage with using various forms of payment.

I have always used Guidestar as my go-to not only when I was a non-profit executive and wanted to ensure we remained worthy of their rating but also now as a non-profit consultant where I need to understand my current and potential partners across financials, key contacts, board members, etc.

Donorbox had more customization options and a better overall interface for public-facing donor engagement, as well as backend administration, than cheaper alternatives like Zeffy and Givebutter. We determined that it was worth paying more for the Donorbox subscription to have a better-looking and better-functioning donor kiosk that would meet our institution's standards and inspire trust in donations.
