What's the difference between Neon CRM and DonorDock?

DonorDock and Neon CRM offer many of the same features within their platforms. Both tools are designed to help you manage donors, accept donations, and develop long-term relationships.

When compared, DonorDock outperforms Neon 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 Salsa is complex to learn, lacks quality support, and is incredibly expensive.

Some users like Neon CRM because it is better than legacy systems like Etapestry or DonorPerfect. When compared to older, clunky options, Neon CRM is a step up.

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.

Neon 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.

What nonprofits are saying about Neon CRM

"Support is terrible and very impersonal at best. Not being able to customize the templates on web pages and forms myself is irritating as well."
Verified User
Nonprofit Management
"There are a number of things which Neon canNOT do, which we were told it could do, in the sales pitch. This is frustrating at best, and deceptive at worst."
Anne-Marie E
Director of Development
"The most unstreamlined, un user friendly CRM I've ever used
