Buyer's Guide: MonkeyPod vs. Neon One
Comparing nonprofit software can be difficult. Between complicated features and unclear pricing, many technology vendors count on you not being able to do an apples-to-apples comparison between systems.
MonkeyPod is here to help! We've put together our handy buyer's guides to help you evaluate MonkeyPod and other systems so you can make the best decision for your organization.
MonkeyPod vs. Neon One: Overall Comparison
Designed for Nonprofits
MonkeyPod and Neon One are both designed specifically for nonprofits. That's good because nonprofits are complicated and have unique challenges. Tracking restricted grants, stewarding donors, reporting on functional expenses — these are all things that nonprofits need to do accurately and efficiently. Make sure your software works with you, not against you.
All-In-One Solution
Whereas Neon One offers solutions focused on CRM and fundraising, MonkeyPod offers solutions for your entire organization. MonkeyPod is a true all-in-one platform.
With MonkeyPod you can manage your finances, donors, volunteers, members, grants, fundraising, communications, board, events, and more. And MonkeyPod was not cobbled together through mergers or combining different products. It was designed from the ground-up to be a single system that you can use to manage your entire organization.
All of the features in MonkeyPod communicate with each other and work together seamlessly. Neon One was not designed in the same way, resulting in a patchwork of tools and features, often with different prices and conditions, creating confusion for you and your organization. All of MonkeyPod's subscriptions include unlimited data, so you know exactly what you're getting and can be sure it will meet your needs.
Automation
Because MonkeyPod is a true all-in-one solution, it can automate a ton of busywork for you and your team.
- Want to sell tickets to an event and have those sales automatically recorded in your CRM and books? No problem.
- Want to streamline your online fundraising operations? MonkeyPod will automatically send donors receipts and thank you emails, automatically add donor contact information to your CRM, and automatically record donations on your books and budgets.
- How about automating your email communications? You can configure MonkeyPod to automatically send emails based on specifics actions, like when someone fills out a form, donates to a campaign, or signs up to volunteer.
MonkeyPod does all that and more. Neon One offers limited automation, focusing on deduplication and payment processing. (By the way, MonkeyPod does that too.)
