vs. Salsa CRM
Why You Should Choose
DonorPerfect Over Salsa CRM
Top Four Reasons to Make the Switch
WE’RE HERE TO STAY
Since Bonterra’s acquisition of Salsa CRM and the subsequent uncertainty surrounding its sunset, users have been navigating a rollercoaster of challenges and concerns. The looming possibility of a forced transition to another Bonterra-acquired platform only adds to the complexity.
We provide stability and reliability, offering free data transfers to Salsa CRM users who make the switch to DonorPerfect.*
*For transfers with fewer than 74,999 records.
DEDICATED EXPERIENCE
With over 40 years of experience supporting nonprofits, DonorPerfect offers unparalleled expertise compared to Bonterra. Built for fundraisers, we provide all-in-one functionality, integrating essential features such as Constant Contact and QuickBooks Online.
We’ll help you significantly boost your online fundraising efforts with customizable pop-up donation forms offering multiple payment options (including digital wallets), tailored nudges to encourage ongoing giving, and sticky badges to remind donors to complete their gift. Plus, your data automatically syncs for streamlined reporting!
NO CONTRACTS
Salsa CRM requires customers to sign up for 3-year contracts. DonorPerfect doesn’t require contracts because we don’t have to. We don’t force our clients to stay—they choose to. Over 10,000+ customers have been with us for an average of 13 years.
TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
It remains uncertain what plans Bonterra has for Salsa CRM and the implications for users. Will you be moved to another Bonterra product with additional costs, or will you continue using Salsa CRM with limited updates and no support?
At DonorPerfect, transparency and upfront pricing are priorities, ensuring you can budget confidently without hidden costs or surprises.

I left Salsa for DonorPerfect due to the integrations. I love that we can connect QuickBooks Online and Constant Contact in one hub, while also maintaining peer-to-peer fundraising and auction capabilities in our system. Not to mention, DonorPerfect’s custom reporting is more intuitive and user-friendly.

Feature Gaps At a Glance

Issues with Bonterra’s Integrations
Bonterra’s Salsa CRM is a collection of different products, such as DonorPro for CRM and Salsa Engage for email and events. Unfortunately, these components encounter compatibility issues and lack complete integration, resulting in a disjointed donor management database.
Escape the pitfalls of fragmentation and ensure a smooth fundraising experience with DonorPerfect – a unified and robust platform for nonprofits that seamlessly integrates with trusted partners like QuickBooks Online, Constant Contact, and ReadySetAuction.
