Reach

What Reach is

Reach is a grassroots organizing and canvassing app for progressive campaigns and organizations that need to engage people, collect data, and organize supporters. Its customizable Action Cards can link to campaign material or external pages and provide content for social sharing. For canvassing, users can search campaign voter data, import and match personal contacts, collect survey responses, and build personal networks for friend-to-friend outreach. Teams can use in-app and web chat, push notifications, and scripts for contacting people by email, text, or phone. Reach supports offline work: changes sync when connectivity returns, and campaigns can prepare data sets for searches on users’ devices.

Reach documents integrations with Mobilize, Slack, and NGP VAN/EveryAction, with availability and instance limits tied to the subscription. Campaign admins can export CSV files; VAN syncing, scheduled exports, webhooks, and BigQuery mirrors also depend on the tier. Reach says campaign data is encrypted at rest and in transit, backed up daily, and controlled by the campaign. Customer support is included in every tier. The service is available on Android, iOS, web, and through an API, and Reach says it is currently available only to US-based campaigns and organizations. Listed small-organization monthly prices start at $115 a month for Basics, with higher tiers at $230 a month for Complete and $345 a month for Movement.

Who it suits

Reach is intended for US-based electoral campaigns, nonprofits, activist groups, trade and labor unions, clubs, and other organizations. It suits teams that need canvassing, supporter organization, offline data access, and basic one-to-one email or text outreach.

Limits

Basics is $115 a month for small organizations under 150K records and includes 3 custom campaign tags, 1 offline data set, 1 custom survey question, and 3 custom email/SMS contact scripts; integrations are unavailable. Complete is $230 a month for small organizations under 150K records and includes up to 3 integrations, 3 offline data sets, 30 tags, 10 user groups, and unlimited custom survey questions and contact scripts. Standard pricing varies by organization type and database size.

Getting started

1. Open the Reach website.
2. Choose a subscription tier; the listed small-organization prices are monthly.
3. Use Reach on Android, iOS, or the web, or connect through its API.
4. Set up campaign Action Cards, voter data searches, surveys, or contact scripts.

Verdict

Reach is a fit for US campaigns and organizations that want canvassing, supporter data collection, and offline work in one service. Teams needing full campaign texting should look elsewhere, and the listed paid plans start at $115 a month for small organizations.
