ActivityInfo in depth
Read the full write-up
ActivityInfo is a program-data platform for humanitarian and international-development organizations that need structured reporting, field collection, and controlled collaboration. It is most compelling for teams that require relational records, offline work, and governed access in one system. The trade-off is a paid, annually committed product whose plan boundaries matter as user and database needs grow.
Overview
ActivityInfo is designed for partner reporting, monitoring and evaluation, impact measurement, cash voucher assistance, and case management. That focus makes it a better fit for social-sector operations than a generic database when programs must combine partner submissions, participant or case records, and formal reporting. Data collection, management, analysis, and integrations are covered in the same platform, reducing the need to maintain separate systems for each stage of a program.
Organizations can choose hosted Software-as-a-Service or a self-managed deployment. SaaS avoids operating the application infrastructure; self-management suits organizations with their own hosting and governance requirements, but requires them to take responsibility for running the server.
Key features
Field teams can collect data online or offline through mobile workflows, collection links, multilingual forms, and validation rules. Offline capability is important for areas with unreliable connectivity, while validation and multilingual support help partners submit more consistent records across locations and languages.
A no-code relational database builder connects related entities without requiring a conventional development project. Calculated fields support derived values, and deduplication and merging address duplicate records that commonly arise when multiple partners submit data. Record history and audit logs provide a trace of changes, which is valuable when programs need accountability over who changed operational data and when.
Analysis tools include dashboards, maps, pivot tables, charts, and a report designer. These cover both monitoring views and more formal reporting outputs. Integrations extend the analytical stack: Power BI, Tableau, ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, and R can connect through the RESTful API and webhooks, while third-party systems can exchange data programmatically. An MCP server can also connect AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to ActivityInfo databases; organizations should govern that access alongside their existing permissions.
Access controls are unusually granular for a product aimed at program operations. Administrators can set permissions by folder, form, or subform, including record-level permissions. Single sign-on is supported through Azure Active Directory, Google Workspace, and Okta. BeDataDriven states that its information security management system is ISO 27001 certified and regularly externally audited; customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with TLS 1.2 or above for traffic. Plans include ongoing support for named technical contacts, with basic email support and professional support by email and video conferencing.
Pricing
There is no free plan. A 30-day trial provides a limited period to validate workflows before an annual commitment, and the entry price starts at €545 per user per year.
Solo
Solo costs €545 a year, billed annually, starting with one full user. It permits up to 20 additional users and is limited to one database. That combination suits a small team or a contained pilot, but the single-database ceiling is a material constraint for organizations separating programs or countries.
Programme
Programme costs €3,700 a year, billed annually, starting with five full users and 15 basic users. It allows up to 5,000 additional users, unlimited databases, and up to 500 forms in each database. This is the more credible tier for multi-program organizations and broad partner participation; the higher annual commitment buys scale in users and data structure rather than merely more seats.
Enterprise Agreement
Enterprise Agreement uses custom pricing, billed through a contact-based arrangement, with per-organization pricing and a minimum of 250 users. It removes limits on users or storage, targeting large institutions whose governance and capacity requirements exceed the Programme structure. Smaller organizations should not choose it unless their scale genuinely approaches that threshold.
Platforms
ActivityInfo runs on the web and supports Android, Windows, Linux, an API, and self-hosted deployment. Self-managed server downloads include Windows MSI, Ubuntu/Debian, RedHat/CentOS, a self-contained JAR, and Docker options. The breadth is useful for organizations standardizing across field devices and internal infrastructure, while the self-hosted route demands operational ownership.
Who it's for
The intended audience is social-sector organizations, including UN agencies, NGOs, governments, and nonprofits working in humanitarian relief and international development. It is a strong choice when partner reporting, case or assistance records, relational data, and fine-grained permissions must coexist. It is less suitable for a small group that needs a free tool, a single lightweight form, or a simple database without annual licensing and governance overhead.
Pros and cons
Pros
End-to-end program data: Collection, relational records, analysis, reporting, and API integrations are combined in one system.
Field resilience: Offline mobile collection, collection links, multilingual forms, and validation support distributed teams.
Governance: Record-level permissions, audit logs, history, SSO, and stated ISO 27001 certification support accountable operations.
Deployment choice: SaaS and self-managed options accommodate different infrastructure policies.
Cons
Annual paid commitment: There is no free plan, and the starting €545 a year is significant for very small organizations.
Solo database cap: One database can force compromises as a team expands beyond a single program structure.
Enterprise threshold: The no-limits agreement starts at a minimum of 250 users, leaving large but sub-250-user deployments to work within Programme limits.
Self-hosting responsibility: Running the server provides control but also makes deployment and maintenance the organization’s job.
Alternatives
For a simpler mobile-first option with a free plan, consider SIA MIS, which runs on Android, iOS, and the web. UpMetrics is the better starting point when a freemium impact-measurement service and a free framework builder matter more than ActivityInfo’s relational and field-operations scope. CharityIQ fits organizations seeking grant-finding features with a free tier and paid starter plan.
CommCare is worth choosing when an open-source platform, Android support, self-hosting, and a free edition are priorities. Outcome Tracker is an alternative for organizations prepared for a 7100.00 USD annual plan with unlimited users, implementation and training, and same-day support. Relific offers a paid product with a free trial on Android and the web. Clear Impact is suited to scorecard and participant-measure tracking with a free tier and API/web access. FRUIT Impact provides a freemium web service organized around targets, brands, and AI Insights.
For broader category comparisons, see Nonprofit Impact Measurement Software, Nonprofit Program Management Software, Mobile Forms Software, and No-Code Database Software.
Verdict
Choose ActivityInfo if your humanitarian or development organization needs offline-capable collection, relational program data, serious access controls, and integration-ready analysis under one governed deployment. Look elsewhere if you need a free entry point, a very small single-purpose workflow, or pricing that does not scale through annual plans and formal user thresholds.
Verdict
ActivityInfo combines field collection, relational data management, analysis, integrations, and detailed access controls for social-sector programs. Its paid pricing and deployment choices suit organizations with defined governance and infrastructure needs.
