    i think it’s good for any democrat campaign. I honestly can’t think of a reason that a campaign would try to make its own version of this software rather than ActBlue. There’s so much customization and adaptability where it just makes sense. I’m not sure if PACs use it but because they’re so check heavy maybe it makes less sense for them

    Well suited for organizations with large fundraising programs or many recurring donors, especially those who have the staffing to devote to reporting and fundraising data analysis. Variety of payment options is good for mobile-first or younger audiences who may be taking more frequent advantage of payment methods like Venmo and Apple Pay. Most useful if it is used in tandem as an event registration/event hosting platform (Classy Event Registration or Classy Live) as attendee data and fundraising is kept in a single place. Less appropriate for smaller organizations, or folks that will not be doing crowdfunding/peer-to-peer/events. There are other platforms that do standard donation pages well that have fewer bells and whistles but are accordingly cheaper.

    • Campaigns lack customization options which can be limiting- while you can add code to make some changes, there is a basic framework that you can't always override.
    • Slow to roll out some donor payment options like Venmo.
    • Not inexpensive price point and on an annual contract, so the software is definitely an investment.

    Usability
    ActBlue
    It has a very intuitive user interface. When i am trying to make an event, it lays out in all the editing tabs exactly what i need to make it look good and does so much for me on the back end. I will say that soemtimes the more complicated stuff is tougher to understand right away

    VERY easy to use, but lacks flexibility. But very easy to learn and master, even for someone with technical skills. They offer live chat which is a great help for on-demand support. At higher call volumes, you may wait 10 minutes, but I’ve never waited for more than that and the support if 90% of the time very helpful.

    Classy's team was very helpful as we transitioned over, and helped us get everything set up quite easily. The few times we've had issues or questions, their online chat feature has been a quick way to get answers. On Giving Tuesday last year, the site went down, but Classy was quick with communication to its clients and had the problem resolved in about an hour. I know that if we have any problems or questions, the company and its team will be responsive and helpful. That makes a difference to me and our small team. We don't have time to troubleshoot or stay on hold for a long time waiting for support.

    I have not used any other platforms like Classy. Given I came into this organization after Classy was already chosen, I was pleased with how easy it was to learn the platform and how user-friendly the entire thing is. Although I haven't used any other platforms like it, I would highly recommend it.

    • This has been nothing but positive. We use the basic version so there is no fee associated with it other than a percentage of each transaction. So everything that comes in is added revenue where the only investment is staff time, but there is no monetary investment.
