    ActBlue
    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

    If you are managing a nonprofit agency, advocacy group, or political campaign, NationBuilder is likely the best tool available for the job. It has everything you need in one package, excellent support from NationBuilder reps, and plenty of reputable case studies that show its effectiveness. There is also a robust network of capable partners that build custom solutions and provide consulting.

    • NationBuilder lacks the ability to create a message board.
    • NationBuilder needs to add threaded comments so you can respond to people who comment on your page.
    • NationBuilder needs to make it easier to offer tiered memberships.

    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

    NationBuilder
    • The NationBuilder ecosystem is a well-connected, supportive bunch and it has been great to be a part of that
    • Most inquiring clients are already aware of NationBuilder's benefits and know what they want to accomplish. This saves time during the on-boarding process
    • NationBuilder's sales team is undereducated about the platform and I have received feedback from clients that they are sharks/difficult to work with. This is a big problem and I have lost business from it
