RallyBound Social Fundraising software

Rallybound provided a great tool for our signature peer to peer event, as well as donation pages for our agencies. They continuously make improvements and move the platform forward. Great price for services provided.

When evaluating different walkathon platforms, we created a detailed matrix with all the important features and supports that were important to my son's school. The salesperson assured us the site was responsive (I didn't realize that didn't mean FULLY responsive, so we can make it a tiny bit smaller and it responds, but on a mobile device it's like looking through a microscope). While lack of accessible customer service is the most concerning issue, many problems surface when you have a live event in addition to the virtual event. Particularly when it comes to registration fees, this platform is not set up correctly for that. They count registration fees as DONATIONS, but they are not tax deductible, and there is no separate type transaction for registration fees. You can't enter any registration fees manually because the platform is really not set up for events that charge registration. The On-Site user interface is extremely limited and we had to use computers and go to the regular site for most people checking in. We found a serious issue with the platform when merging duplicate records (the system "lost" registration fees), and the cust svc person just didn't understand what we were talking about. Our most critical need was customer service. Rallybound has ONE PERSON answering all customer service emails, and they don't allow phone calls. As we were hitting some hurdles setting up for our second annual walkathon on their platform, we were not getting the support needed from the customer service person and we emailed the executives. We did get connected to a new Customer Success Manager who ultimately told us she'd refund our money for year 3 and suggested we use another platform. We just completed our second year of a three year contract, and after I sent a detailed note with many observations and issues we had asking for help, they suggested we stop using their platform and they could refund the rest of our contract. If you can't afford to pay to customize the platform for features that aren't included, should be included in the base platform like responsiveness) you might think about looking at other platforms.

I've been incredibly impressed by RallyBound's professionalism since day 1. They have impeccable customer service, if you want to customize something on your platform, they are flexible, and they software is so easy to use! Highly recommend them.

We're fairly new clients and our P2P events have only just started up using RallyBound for the first time, but International China Concern's experience so far has been terrific. The onboarding with their business development team was smooth, answering our many questions well and having patience as we came to our decision. The implementation team went above and beyond to accommodate our multi-currency, multi-country needs, including changing a significant part of the registration process. And the ongoing support since our launch has been timely and efficient. All of this was such a change from our previous vendor where our organization was almost too small to be cared for well.

Excellent customer service. Great integration with Salesforce and Mailchimp. Beautiful design templates and sufficient customization. Really impressed by the range of features available to both the administrator and fundraising user. Great service with an accessible pricing structure.
