Looking for a Bloomerang Alternative?

Bloomerang is a fundraising platform that is primarily focused on advanced donor management. Bloomerang purchased Kindful in 2021 and now calls it “Bloomerang Fundraising”. MembershipWorks is a more holistic solution for those that are looking for an all-in-one membership software for nonprofits.

Why MembershipWorks is Better than Bloomerang

1. Cheaper pricing. MembershipWorks offers its lowest-priced paid plan at $35/month. All paid plans with MembershipWorks are provided access to all features; the difference in pricing between paid plans is based entirely on the number of accounts you would like to store. Bloomerang offers 3 products that can be bundled together. Their popular “Giving Platform” bundle starts at $242/month, billed annually. Bloomerang Volunteer, would be additional $119/month, billed annually. For Bloomerang users, in addition to the products you bundle, pricing is also based on the number of records you manage
2. More membership-related features. Many organizations do a lot more than just accept donations and volunteers. Networking groups, social clubs, Chambers of Commerce, and the majority of nonprofits need to be able to offer their members more benefits than the ability to pay online. MembershipWorks specializes in features that allow you to seamlessly offer members benefits directly on your website. For example, Bloomerang products do not include:
   • Member directories
   • Members only content
   • Member only calendars
   • Classified ads
   • Job boards
   • Announcement boards
   • Built-in shopping cart
3. Full Event Calendar Feature. While Bloomerang allows you to create events and sell tickets, it does not include a month-style calendar feature that you can embed onto your website. With MembershipWorks, users can both embed a full calendar onto their site and opt to embed just ticket registration to a dedicated individual event page. For organizations that manage a lot of events, a full calendar can reduce the administrative work involved in creating and maintaining individual event pages for each event.
