Instead of juggling a separate website builder, CRM, email tool, and donation platform, you run everything from one system where every supporter profile updates automatically with each interaction. Build mobile-responsive websites and donation pages, grow and segment a supporter database, send targeted email and text messages, launch petitions and advocacy actions, and coordinate field organizing like canvassing and phone banking. Built-in payment processing and recurring giving make fundraising easy, and A/B testing helps sharpen every message. Every plan includes unlimited users and unlimited email blasts, so your costs don't climb as your team or your list grows — a real difference for organizations that scale fast during a campaign or a moment of momentum. Onboarding is supported with live training, webinars, and an extensive help center, plus phone and email support and a global network of certified NationBuilder experts for teams that want hands-on help with setup, design, or migration. Trusted by more than 9,000 organizations across 112 countries. > > Verdict: Rated **3.8/5** by 44 users.

I love how this combines everything that I needed to run and win in one package. I not only gave me what I needed as the campaign's IT guy, it provided every single person involved with what they needed. > > **Cons**: The biggest con (if you even want to call it one) is that NationBuilder is so finely-tuned towards political campaigns that it doesn't work well with things are unrelated to that. (Yes, I know that's not much of a con but that really is the only drawback that I could think of.) > > It's a great experience overall. The one thing that I wanted to add is that when I did have to call their tech support line with a problem, they were able to resolve everything quickly and easily. ----- ### "Review\!" — 4.0/5 > **Katie** | *4 May 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: By far the best feature of NationBuilder is that it is so widely used -- this means that any question you have as already been asked by someone else and a step-by-step help doc is likely an easy search away. It was really easy to get questions answered and problems solved in this way. > > **Cons**: This software is more powerful than a tiny nonprofit like my own needs. It's also very, very expensive. The "newsfeed" type feature showing people who subscribed/unsubscribed/interacted in social media was strange and useless. > > Working with NationBuilder was fine - it was neither revolutionary nor deeply frustrating, it was overall fine. I neither loved it nor hated it, but can only recommend it for large nonprofits. ----- ### "Fair service if you have basic needs" — 3.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *20 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: NationBuilder allows you to easily build lists, make segments for email marketing. Was able to get to a granular or broad level of outreach with NB. > > **Cons**: The product did not have the fundraising tools I needed most. It was difficult if not impossible to track donations. > > If I had to rate it, I would say fair. It did not have all the capability I needed but allowed me to get out basic messages. ----- ### "A Sturdy Workhorse" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *2 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nationbuilder was our first CRM from the days of starting as a wee small nonprofit. The cost was right and utility was what we needed. > > **Cons**: As we grew over the decade as a nonprofit, we needed more functionality that our grandfathered in rate did not provide. > > NationBuilder was a solid all-in-one solution for us. It checked the boxes for general donor management and kept our database organized without too much fuss. ----- ### "Nationbuilder is a dream come true for our business" — 5.0/5 > **Janelle** | *2 October 2019* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Service is ALWAYS there to help you. Everything is easy to understand, of course there is a bit of a learning curve, the software is flawless. > > **Cons**: Really it's hard to think of anything that doesn't work for us other than the pricing will be high for us as we grow. > > This was so easy to use. We hired one of their recommended deveopers, they built the website and truly it was flawless. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/65829/nationbuilder?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/65829/nationbuilder) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
