* All Neon donor management plans are based on number of contacts. Plans start at $50 p/m that provides 1K contacts. Most organizations have much more than this amount, so for fair comparison we quoted their plan that allows up to 15K contacts i.e. $250 p/m. Note that BetterUnite does not have a limit on the number of contacts, so no comparison is really a direct match.
