$300 a year is not the cheap version.
CauseWorkHub is one complete, organization-wide nonprofit operating system. The comparison is not merely CRM price against CRM price—it is how many people, workflows and separate products the organization must assemble to run the mission.
$300 per organization, per year
Unlimited permitted users. One complete plan. No feature tiers. No CauseWork transaction percentage. Organization-controlled hosting and data.
The complete-cost question
A low starting price—or even a free fundraising product—does not make the organization whole. Compare the operating capabilities CauseWorkHub includes before paying for, connecting and governing multiple separate systems.
