Beetexting vs Donr

Beetexting is a text messaging platform for nonprofits contacting donors, volunteers, staff, and the people they serve. It supports one-to-one conversations, broadcasts, scheduled or recurring messages, and group threads with up to 10 recipients. Teams can share inboxes, claim or transfer conversations, leave internal notes, tag teammates, and mark conversations resolved. Messages can include photos, videos, and documents; the FAQ says these do not cost more than a normal message. Beetexting works on Android, iOS, and the web, and lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Google, Zoho, Stripe, Microsoft, and Office 365 as integration partners. Its Connect service provides a REST API authenticated with OAuth 2.0. The listed plans include opt-in, opt-out, TCR, and CTIA compliance features. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available. Professional costs $89.97 a month, plus messaging costs and industry fees; it includes two users, one number, and 1,000 messages per month, with additional messages at $0.04 each.

Donr is web-based fundraising technology for UK charities, combining campaign management, text donations, raffles, and reporting. A secure dashboard manages multiple campaigns, while Text Giving accepts one-time or monthly donations through supporters’ phone bills or prepaid credit. Charities can create unlimited keywords, customize messages, collect Gift Aid, and enable recurring donations. Reporting shows donations in real time. Text Raffles support suggested donation amounts and tailored supporter messages, with a free-entry option that Donr says supports relevant gambling-regulation compliance. The service lists direct billing connections with EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone. Donr says it regularly tests platform security, separates donations in a Barclays client premium account, and limits personal-data access to people with a business need. Text Giving and Text Raffles each cost £5 a month, with 5% plus VAT per donation and processing capped at £5 plus VAT per monthly payment.
