    If you are doing this for fun, and don't actually need the money that you raise through Flipcause, they're great, but if you need the funds to, say, run payroll or pay rent, do not even THINK of using them. You will spend a lot of time tearing your hair out, and sending yet another email begging them to transfer funds

    NationBuilder
    If you are managing a nonprofit agency, advocacy group, or political campaign, NationBuilder is likely the best tool available for the job. It has everything you need in one package, excellent support from NationBuilder reps, and plenty of reputable case studies that show its effectiveness. There is also a robust network of capable partners that build custom solutions and provide consulting.

    Cons
    Flipcause
    • You have to contact them multiple times to get them to give you your money.
    • It generally takes at least a month to get funds from them to you.
    • They take a really long time to respond to support emails, if they respond at all.

    • Customer service: We used to have a dedicated account exec who met with us monthly to give us insight into our NationBuilder, as well as tips or suggestions for things like increasing our email deliverability or duplicates. While we're busy doing the work we do, it helped raise red flags for us that we didn't know existed. Our current account exec has zero communication with us in terms of providing any tangible support and that's been a complete 180 from our initial experience.

    Website design is great and easy to use

    While it isn't the easiest to use for someone coming to it for the first time, it has become like second nature navigating it. I find that because I understand it's functionality, I have a very easy time navigating.

    Support Rating
    Flipcause
    Flipcause has amazingly responsive customer support staff and "Success Teams." When you sign up, your Success Manager makes sure you have all the information and support needed to get up and running quickly and easily. Your Success Team will happily provide support on an on-going basis as needed, although we have not needed much support due to the easy-to-use interface

    We previously used Network for Good to process online donations and to sell event tickets, but Flipcause has proven much better at meeting our needs. I prefer the Flipcause interface and functionality, especially for event registrations. We have also used PayPal and PayPal Here to collect donations online and in person. While these are trusted and recognizable for our donors, they are only useful for collecting donations and do not have easily customizable donation receipts.

    NationBuilder is not as good for canvassing or phone GOTV efforts, but it's better for community building.

    Return on Investment
    Flipcause
    • Diminished trust from employees because of payroll delays.
    • Unable to plan ahead because we have no idea when we will get our funds.
    • Excessive time spent chasing funds, rather than fulfilling our mission.
    • Excessive time spent researching new platforms, and changing all our infrastructure because we've finally decided we can't stay with them any longer.

    • The NationBuilder ecosystem is a well-connected, supportive bunch and it has been great to be a part of that
    • Most inquiring clients are already aware of NationBuilder's benefits and know what they want to accomplish. This saves time during the on-boarding process
    • NationBuilder's sales team is undereducated about the platform and I have received feedback from clients that they are sharks/difficult to work with. This is a big problem and I have lost business from it
