Bloomerang Pricing Breakdown: What It Actually Costs in 2026
TLDR
Bloomerang uses per-record pricing tiers. $125/month covers up to 1,000 records. $166/month for 1,001-5,000 records. $249/month for 5,001-15,000 records. Additional users cost $25/month after the first 3. The key limitation: no grant management at any tier.

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page
- ⚠ Additional users beyond the first 3 cost $25/month each
- ⚠ Costs increase automatically as your donor database grows — your price tier is tied to record count, not features
- ⚠ No grant management at any tier — if you need compliance tracking, you will need a separate system
- ⚠ Fundraising page customization is limited; organizations with specific branding needs may need third-party tools
How Bloomerang Pricing Works
Bloomerang prices based on the number of records in your database. Records include active donors, lapsed donors, contacts, and organizations. Every contact counts toward your tier, whether they donated last week or five years ago.
Your costs grow as your database grows, regardless of whether those records generate revenue.
The Record Count Trap
Per-record pricing penalizes nonprofits for building a large donor database — which is exactly what a donor CRM should encourage.
A nonprofit with 4,900 records pays $166/month. Add 101 new contacts from a fundraising event and your bill jumps to $249/month. Adding a batch of new contacts from a single event can jump you into the next tier.
Organizations that have been in operation for years accumulate large databases of lapsed donors. Bloomerang counts all of these records toward your tier, even if most have not donated recently. You can delete old records to stay in a lower tier, but losing historical data defeats the purpose of a CRM.
What You Do Not Get
Bloomerang is a donor CRM. At every pricing tier, grant management is absent:
- No restricted fund tracking
- No grant lifecycle management
- No compliance reporting automation
- No expenditure tracking against specific grants
If your nonprofit manages grants, Bloomerang’s pricing covers only half of what you need. The other half — grant compliance — requires a separate system with its own cost.
GrantPipe: Different Model
GrantPipe prices by organization size and feature needs, not record count:
- Foundation ($20/month): Up to 5,000 donor records, up to 5 users, donor CRM, 5 active grant lifecycles
- Growth ($49/month): Up to 10 users, unlimited grants, compliance automation
- Enterprise ($99/month): Unlimited users, API access, dedicated onboarding
Your cost stays the same whether you have 500 donors or 50,000. And grant management is included at every tier.

What is included in Bloomerang's pricing?
Bloomerang's plans include donor management, email marketing, and retention analytics. Grant management is not included. Nonprofits with active grant portfolios must add a separate grant tool — typically adding $100-$500/mo to the total cost — making Bloomerang more expensive than it appears for grant-active organizations.
Does Bloomerang's price include grant compliance features?
No. Bloomerang's pricing covers donor CRM, email marketing, and fundraising analytics. Grant compliance, restricted fund tracking, and audit-ready grant reporting require a separate tool. GrantPipe includes both donor management and grant compliance starting at $20/mo.
Is Bloomerang worth the price?
Bloomerang is a solid value for donor-centric nonprofits without complex grant portfolios. For organizations managing 3+ active grants with restricted fund requirements, the total cost of Bloomerang plus a grant tool typically exceeds GrantPipe's all-in pricing of $20-$99/mo.
| Bloomerang | GrantPipe | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost (mid-size org) | $125-$249/mo | $20–$99/mo |
| Implementation cost | Varies | $0 |
| Contract | Annual | Month-to-month |
