Which political-technology company does the best job providing a package of campaign tools and services to its clients? According to the nearly 200 people who responded to our online Software-as-a-Service survey, CompeteCampaigns.com ranks highest, with an overall average score of 4.2. Coming in second is ActBlue, with a 3.73 overall score. Third is Democracy in Action, at 3.62. Rounding out the top five are NGP Software at 3.55 and GetActive at 3.29. Powerhouse firms like Convio, Capitol Advantage, Aristotle International, Plus Three and Kintera were all ranked lower by our respondents, who were asked to rate each company that they had worked with on the capacity and reliability of their software, the quality of their service and the fairness of their pricing.
We're publicly releasing these top-line numbers as part of the launch of PDF's new premium section, which features company reviews and consumer feedback, starting with our newly-updated Consumer Guide to Software-as-a-Service Providers. This online report is packed with detailed reviews of a total of eighteen leading "software-as-a-service" vendors that serve advocacy groups, political campaigns, and non-profits. The companies we focus on offer a variety of software products, with each tending to take an individual approach, focusing on fundraising, advocacy or database management.
