DonorDock's CRM and eTapestry have many of the same features within their platforms. While DonorDock is designed to help you manage donors, accept donations, and develop long-term relationships, eTapestry focuses on the management and outreach piece. You need to purchase a separate platform to accept online donations.
When compared, DonorDock outperforms eTapestry on price, ratings, and customer support.
DonorDock's system is simple enough for your whole team to use, and powerful enough to help you take your nonprofit to the next level. Many users say that eTapestry is complex to learn, clunky and outdated feeling, and is incredibly expensive.
Because eTapestry requires nonprofits to buy two different software to do the same task as DonorDock, it is a bit clunkier to integrate, costs more, and some users say it results in lost data.
A standout feature that DonorDock offers is the ActionBoard® which helps you keep all your tasks and to-dos in one place. Smart Nudges remind you when it is time to take action with specific donors. You can customize which actions you are alerted to, so you are prioritizing what is important to your nonprofit.
eTapestry lets you set up custom fields within their CRM. For some nonprofits this is essential, but for many, DonorDock’s badge and gift system meets their needs without the added complexity and maintenance that custom fields can create.
