Why Nonprofits Choose DonorDock

Built for Daily Action, Not Just Dashboards

Bloomerang gives you retention scores and engagement meters. DonorDock gives you a clear list of what to do today. Our Action Board shows your daily priorities, follow-ups, thank-yous, lapsed donors, and more, so you spend less time analyzing and more time building real relationships.

An AI Assistant That Helps You Steward

While Bloomerang focuses on retention analytics, DonorDock gives you Otto, an AI-powered fundraising assistant built right in.

Otto writes personalized donor communications, surfaces insights from your data, and helps you take action faster. It’s like adding a fundraising teammate without adding headcount.

One Platform, Not a Patchwork of Add-Ons

Bloomerang charges separately for CRM (starting at $125/mo), fundraising tools (starting at $40/mo), and volunteer management (starting at $119/mo).

With DonorDock, you get CRM, email marketing, online giving, text messaging, project management, and AI tools—all included in one plan. No piecing together modules or surprise add-ons.

Unlimited Contacts at Every Price

Bloomerang’s pricing is based on how many contacts you have, which means it costs more as your nonprofit grows.

DonorDock offers unlimited contacts on every plan, so your cost stays predictable no matter how many supporters you add. Growing your donor base should never come with a penalty.

Smart Nudges That Drive Your Next Move

Bloomerang shows you who’s engaged. DonorDock tells you what to do about it.

Smart Nudges automatically surface time-sensitive actions, like a donor whose giving anniversary is coming up or a lapsed supporter who needs re-engagement, so nothing falls through the cracks.
