Built for staged rollout

Most organizations start with one core workflow, then expand to more donors, more users, and more communication volume over time.

Starter

$39/mo

1,500 donors, 2 users, forms, campaigns, manual gifts, and core event operations.

Growth

$99/mo

10,000 donors, 5 users, built-in email fundraising, and advanced event pricing controls.

Scale

$249/mo

75,000 donors, 10 users, the highest email volume, and more room for larger teams.

Add-on seats

$10

Per user, per month, on any tier. Start lean and add access as more teammates jump in.

How to choose your starting plan

Use these three questions first. You can review the full feature matrix after that.

Question 1: How many donors are active in your file?

If you are replacing spreadsheets or a smaller donor list, Starter is usually the right place to begin. Growth is the next step once your donor file and communication needs increase.

Question 2: How many staff members need access right now?

Start with the included users you actually need. Mission Sumo lets any plan add seats later, so you do not need to buy for a future org chart on day one.

Question 3: Do you need built-in email fundraising and advanced event pricing?

If yes, Growth is usually the right starting point. If not, Starter often gives small teams everything they need to get organized first.

Fast recommendation

Most small teams should start with the lowest plan that fits their current donor file and user count, then move up only when email volume or operational complexity makes it worthwhile.

Starter fit

Get organized

Best when donor records, forms, campaigns, and core events are the priority.

Growth fit

Run more in one system

Best when built-in email fundraising and advanced event pricing matter now.

Scale fit

Handle more volume

Best when you need larger limits, more email volume, and room for a bigger team.

Low-risk starting point

Most teams do not need every feature on day one. Start with the plan that fits your current operation, validate the workflow in the trial, and upgrade when growth makes it worth it.

How pricing behaves as your organization grows

The goal is to avoid overbuying early while still giving you room to expand.

What changes first for most teams

What grows	What to expect
More staff or volunteers need access	Add seats for $10 each without changing plans right away
Email volume increases	Use included monthly volume first, then predictable overage pricing if needed
Donor file grows past your tier	Upgrade the plan when your active donor count makes it necessary
You want more fundraising workflows in one system	Move from Starter to Growth when built-in email or advanced event pricing becomes important

Nonprofit staff reviewing budget and planning decisions together

Easier budget conversations

Pricing is clearer when your team can separate what you need now from what you might need later.

What your free trial lets you validate

Whether donor records and notes feel easier than your current setup
Whether campaigns, forms, and manual gift entry connect the way your team needs
Whether event operations or email fundraising justify moving beyond Starter

Frequently asked pricing questions

The practical questions most nonprofit teams ask before starting the trial.

Can we add users later?

Yes. Any tier can add users for $10 per user per month, so you do not need to change plans just to add one or two staff members.

What if we are not ready to migrate all our donors yet?

That is fine. Most teams start with one workflow or a small data set first, then expand once they know Mission Sumo fits how they work.

How do upgrades work?

Organizations can upgrade from Settings. New limits and feature access take effect immediately for the active workspace.

How should we think about email costs?

Growth and Scale include monthly email volume. If you send more than your included amount, Mission Sumo shows predictable overage pricing per 1,000 emails.

What if we outgrow our donor limit?

Upgrade when the donor file genuinely grows past your tier. The pricing structure is designed so you can start smaller and move up when it becomes worthwhile.

Can we evaluate before committing to a bigger rollout?

Yes. That is the recommended path. Use the trial to validate your real workflows first, then expand your setup after the team feels confident.

Still deciding between Starter and Growth?

The fastest answer is usually this: if you need built-in email fundraising and advanced event pricing now, start on Growth. If you mainly need donor management, campaigns, forms, manual gifts, and core events, Starter is usually the better first step.
