Flipcause vs. Planned

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

Planned is well suited when you are stuck for ideas and require creative collaboration from a network of unique vendors.

• Flipcause has a great user interface for donors.
• Flipcause sends customizable donation receipts.
• Flipcause easily integrates with our website.
• Flipcause has great customer service.

• 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.

• The platform can use some tweaking (i.e.: when reserving hotels, adding guest rooms, including meeting rooms - instead of just spaces, which can be confusing when searching).

Website design is great and easy to use

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.

Planned is the only event planning software company we have worked with, and plan to work with. The team behind the platform is constantly innovating to enhance features and the overall experience for both vendors and users.

• 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.

• We were able to get repeat business from a new client brought to us by Planned
• We were able to learn more about what types of virtual event services we'd like to grow as a business, as a result of working with Planned
• We have not seen a financial ROI for our business yet because we have only worked with one client on the platform and it has been costly for us to accommodate this client
