Disclosure: We may earn a commission when you sign up through links marked as affiliate links. That never affects scores or order: rankings are computed from documented facts and cannot read affiliate data. What each vendor pays us →
Honesty note: we have not run our own hands-on test of Bloomerang yet. Everything on this page is source-based research: the vendor's pricing, plan and help pages, each linked with the date we read it. Ease of use and support quality are not scored until we test.
Bloomerang in short
Bloomerang's core plan for a small team is CRM at $125 per month for the account with annual billing. For a team of 5, that is $1,500 in the first year.
Choose it if
- Small/mid-size nonprofits that want donor CRM, online giving and volunteer management from one vendor with unlimited users
- Teams that prefer constituent-count pricing over per-seat pricing
Skip it if
- Buyers who need transparent record-tier prices before talking to sales: only 'starting at' prices are published
- Organizations wanting a free plan or self-serve trial: none advertised on the pricing page
How much does Bloomerang cost?
Prices in USD as published on Bloomerang's pricing page, read Oct 3, 2026. Pricing model: Flat per organization, unlimited users; "starting at" prices rise with the number of constituent records.

Bloomerang pros and cons
What holds up
- Unlimited users on all products; price scales with constituent count, not seats[1]
- Giving Platform bundles CRM + Fundraising + Volunteer from $242/mo billed annually, with Prospect AI and predictive insights[1]
- Data hygiene features listed: nightly NCOA updates, deceased-donor suppression, duplicate detection, smart imports[1]
- QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and Zapier integrations listed[2]
- Public REST API and Bloomerang.js documented[3]
- SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS reported by a third party (Aug 2026 review); not confirmed on a vendor page I could read[8]
What to watch
- Constituent-count tiers are not published; the pricing page shows only 'starting at' prices ($125 CRM, $242 Giving Platform), so real cost for a given database size needs a quote[1]
- Bloomerang Fundraising ($40/mo from) must be bought as part of a bundle with Bloomerang CRM[1]
- Annual billing only on the pricing page; no monthly-billing price shown[1]
- No free plan or free trial advertised; evaluation is via demo[1]
- No itemized onboarding fee; the FAQ says proposals bundle training and onboarding[1]

The money trail
Bloomerang runs an affiliate program. We are not an approved affiliate yet, so every link on this page goes straight to the vendor and earns us nothing. Either way, the score above is computed without this information.
What we could not verify
Listed so you know where to ask the vendor directly.
- Constituent-count tier thresholds and prices (not published)
- Whether API access is included in base plans (official docs silent; one secondary source calls it an upsell)
- Partner commission percentages by tier and recurring vs one-time payout (PDF agreements not machine-readable)
- HIPAA / BAA availability not found
- Custom objects (vs custom fields) not documented
- Gmail/Outlook native sync not documented
- Founded year and HQ city taken partly from third-party profile; HQ address confirmed on Bloomerang contact page
