DonorScope vs NPOAuthority
Both stand on nonprofit donor prospecting software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose DonorScope if your nonprofit needs major gift prospect searches, list enrichment, or free foundation records alongside screening and training. Look elsewhere if the $998 annual subscription, per-record charges, or $350 append minimum does not fit your budget.
Visit DonorScopeChoose NPOAuthority if your nonprofit needs donor profiles, online prospect research, and wealth screening in an annual contract. The main reason to look elsewhere is the paid annual commitment, especially if you need a free plan or a tier without bundled screening records.
