Luminate Online is priced based on the number of email addresses on file, modules used and service plan. Our peer to peer offering, TeamRaiser, has a transactional, shared success pricing model.
Previously we utilized Raiser's Edge on in-house servers, and managed email contacts through bulk email providers. The move to LO allowed us to integrate the database with the online outreach and payment processing in a far more effective manner. We have had limited experience …
Only MailChimp and Constant Contact. Both were long enough ago that I don't think a comparison would be valid. More recently, though, I've used the following P2P resources, which far surpass accessibility from a user-standpoint, of TeamRaiser (though I can't speak to the admin …

I find that other products seem to excel in specific areas where Luminate falls short (i.e., just emails or just donations), but we keep coming back to Luminate because it does it all - just not all well. If Luminate were an online dating profile, the headline should read "Jack …
I looked primarily at iModules as an alternative and thought both were similar. While Blackbaud (then Convio) was a bit more expensive it had a bit more functionality with the constituent database that we needed, but I don't know that one is clearly better than the other.
