Great Software for Non Profits

This site allows us to easily collect donations for our non-profit organization. We are in the process of exclusively using this site to collect donations in conjunction with Stripe because it is so much better than any other site we have ever used. One con is that donation form codes have to be completely updated on our website, rather than just updating them through Donately and having them automatically update on our site.

PROS

Extremely easy for our customers to use! Great customer service!

CONS

Not the best at allowing us to view all donors and donations at once. Sometimes the filtering is really slow. Form codes cannot automatically update on our website and have to be completely replaced after making a change to the form. You can only link one bank account to where the donations to go.

We recommend Donately

We use Donately for our donation form on our website and for fundraising campaigns. We have always found it the product very easy to use and functional, and the customer service fantastic.

PROS

The customer service is very fast, helpful, and friendly. The basic product is easy to use and has a lot of options that are useful for us. As a small non-profit organization, I appreciate the number of options that we do have using the basic service.

CONS

I do wish we had more options for developing the look and feel of campaign landing pages.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your kind words and honest feedback, Jenny! We're working hard to improve all aspects of the platform, and will take your suggestions into account.

Middle of the Road Functionality

Overall Donately suits its purpose, but it is wanting for some additionally functionality to make it a more robust system.

PROS

The advantage of Donately is the simplicity of form builder! While the software is easy to use, it also contains almost all the essential functionality you could want form a donation form. Forms integrate easily into webpages without much hassle. Campaign management usually works well.

CONS

The donor reporting and management system is insufficient for most purposes. Integrations are not as robust as they could be for the product. Support can be slow moving.

Donately Review

I have enjoyed using the software and each time I have asked for help, I have received the response promptly.

PROS

Being able to see the recurring donations and the dates dates of effectiveness

CONS

The fact that there is no app for the phone.

Vendor Response

Joe - Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate the feedback. While all of our assets are fully mobile responsive, we do understand the benefit of a dedicated app. For now, we hope that our mobile-friendly dashboard, donation pages, and donation forms make for a great experience regardless of device.
