I worked with it to accept, manage and report donations for a political campaign here in Pennsylvania. We had to get some documents from the state and from the bank, but after that it was dead simple to manage it. I also like the fact that the donors already know it and trust it, and refcodes were a really nice feature for attribution. > > **Cons**: I don't really like the "make it monthly" and "please tip ActBlue" pitches that the donor gets after completing the form. I know you can deactivate and edit these to varying extents, but we're at the point now where this is unfortunately one of the defining characteristics of going through an ActBlue donation process. People know it's coming, they expect it, it's synonymous with the ActBlue platform. > > Overwhelmingly positive experience in setting up and managing the ActBlue account, in adding new users, and in getting quick turnarounds on having the account setup approved. No complaints in selecting this provider. ----- ### "Lack of Transparency" — 2.0/5 > **William** | *25 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's so easy to give money. It originally seemed so honest and transparent. > > **Cons**: ActBlue is totally opaque about what actually happens with donations. Moreover, they are intentionally NOT helping people identify open races at this date (02/25/25) They just let orgs like Elect Southern Democrats keep asking for more money with NO specificity, and NO accountability. Might as well just throw my donations away. > > I used to believe ActBlue was a genuine, honest, way to quickly donate to candidates of choice. No longer. ----- ### "ActBlue is a powerhouse for democratic & progressive campaigns" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *12 December 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fundraising tools that ActBlue offers to utilize the "people power" in order to successfully execute political campaigns and nonprofit events. Specifically, I appreciate that the contribution forms have an intuitive interface and are customizable whether you are an administrator or user. They are also mobile friendly, which is crucial to capturing grassroots contributions on the go\! I also like that the data and analytics reporting is easy to understand. > > **Cons**: A/B testing can be a bit tricky for the platform to process at times. It can be quite difficult to obtain the desired conversation rates based on the organization's or campaign's pixel and objective. While the software's customer service is no doubt friendly and supportive to clients' and users troubleshooting issues, the response time does take a while and is slow to respond, especially during key digital fundraising moments (i.e. Giving Tuesday, Election Day) and rapid response actions (i.e. matching donations, events). > > Overall, my experience with ActBlue is amazing\! You can literally set up a free ActBlue account within minutes, and see for yourself how wonderful the platform is. Overall, I am thankful for the effort that goes into security, compliance and data integration, so I never have to put my political campaigns or nonprofit events in jeopardy. ----- ### "ActBlue is the gold standard for receiving and making donations within the Democratic ecosystem" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 May 2019* | Political Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As I say in my title, ActBlue is the gold standard for receiving and making donations within the Democratic ecosystem. The ActBlue Express feature makes it easy for donors to make one-click donations in emails if they save their contact information. We've seen significantly higher conversion rates on their donation pages relative to other platforms. > > **Cons**: Their events and merchant tools are subpar compared to other platforms. This wouldn't be a problem except they require exclusivity to use ActBlue Express which means you are locked in. ----- ### "Easy-to-use donation platform" — 4.0/5 > **Noelle** | *21 June 2021* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy set-up and the customized campaign capabilities make it easy to track returns on specific fundraising drives. Their large existing database of donor information makes it easy for donors to send a quick contribution especially with the ActBlue Express feature. Their reporting options make it easy to keep your campaign compliant with FEC regulations. > > **Cons**: It's mind-boggling that disbursements are only available as hard copy checks sent through snail mail. An electronic option is long overdue\! > > Donors are familiar with ActBlue and comfortable using it for their contributions. Recurring donation options make it easy to get the most from donor visits to your campaign page and provide a sustainable income base for your campaign. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/166188/actblue?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/166188/actblue) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
