Top 5 Reasons to choose
LiveImpact over Salesforce

1.

General Purpose CRM vs. Purpose-Built for Nonprofits

Empower your mission with tools built specifically for your nonprofit operations, right out of the box

Where Salesforce Misses the Mark

Salesforce is a general-purpose CRM focused on managing sales pipelines and customer data. It requires significant custom development from costly hired consultants to ensure the platform meets your nonprofit's unique needs.

Why LiveImpact is Better

LiveImpact was built over 10+ years in partnership with nonprofits like yours. Every feature, workflow, and tool was shaped by real feedback from nonprofit leaders and staff using the platform. You get all of the powerful tools you need with no consultants required. Everything is designed around actual nonprofit needs, not corporate sales processes.

2.

All-in-One Integration for Nonprofits

Built-in solutions that eliminate the need for multiple platforms or external tools

Where Salesforce Misses the Mark

Salesforce relies on multiple third-party apps and custom integrations to achieve the functionality you need, increasing complexity and costs.

Why LiveImpact is Better

LiveImpact offers all of the tools and applications you need within a single platform. This all-in-one approach minimizes complexity, reduces the risk of data errors, and saves time, ensuring nonprofits can operate efficiently and effectively.

3.

Streamlined Onboarding and Ease of Use

Our team handles implementation. Your team focuses on mission.

Where Salesforce Misses the Mark

Salesforce implementations typically take 6-12 months and require expensive consultants just to get started. Organizations spend months in planning meetings and spend valuable staff time organizing custom configurations and complex data migrations.

Why LiveImpact is Better

LiveImpact's guided onboarding gets you fully operational in 2-4 weeks, not months or years. We handle data migration, system configuration, and staff training without requiring consultants or any headaches on your end. Your team learns the intuitive interface in days, not months, because it's designed for nonprofit workflows from day one.

4.

Transparent, Flat-Rate Pricing with Unlimited Features

No per-user penalties. No surprise bills. No consultant fees. 

Where Salesforce Misses the Mark

Salesforce's per-user pricing creates a dilemma: Do you limit who has access to save money? Or do you give your whole team the tools they need and watch costs explode? Organizations find themselves rationing licenses to save when they should be expanding. Growth becomes expensive instead of celebrated.

Why LiveImpact is Better

LiveImpact's unlimited user model means you never have to choose between access and affordability. Onboard your entire team without adding a penny to your bill. Launch new programs and add more staff without budget anxiety. We're committed to ensuring your growth and success with no added stress.

5.

AI-Powered Insights and Mission-Driven Efficiency

Make smarter decisions with AI-driven insights tailored to nonprofit needs

Where Salesforce Misses the Mark

Salesforce gives you data but leaves the hard work to you: building complex reports, creating custom dashboards, interpreting trends, identifying problems, and determining solutions.

Why LiveImpact is Better

LiveImpact's conversational AI answers nonprofit questions instantly. The AI identifies patterns, predicts trends, builds reports and automates tasks, integrated directly with your fundraising, volunteer, and case management workflows. Spend less time analyzing data, and more time acting on it.
