CharityIQ vs FRUIT Impact

CharityIQ is web software for UK charities covering grant discovery, AI-assisted application drafting, compliance and impact reporting. Its Grant Finder matches registered charities with live opportunities using factors such as cause, beneficiaries, geography, income band, deadlines and exclusions. Grant data comes from 360Giving, GrantNav and direct funder feeds and is refreshed daily. The AI writer drafts applications from charity data and funder criteria, links claims to sources, and supports editing and regeneration. A trustee sign-off workflow and audit trail support review before submission. Compliance tools include an annual-return co-pilot, trustee-duty checks, deadline reminders and drafting for SORP 2026-ready Trustees' Annual Reports. The impact dashboard supports NPC, IRIS+, Outcomes Star and theory of change, with reports formatted as PDF, Word or web links. Grant coverage is UK-wide, while automatic profile lookup currently uses the Charity Commission register for England and Wales; OSCR and CCNI lookups are roadmap items. The free Grant Finder supplies live matches ranked by eligibility. Paid plans start at £39/mo billed annually.

FRUIT Impact is a web platform for measuring impact across nonprofit, NGO, foundation, ESG, social enterprise, university, civic, and faith-based programs. Organizations can define targets such as individuals, households, geographic areas, demographic cohorts, groups, and other organizations. They can build surveys, composite indices, and assessments using multiple-choice, Likert, open-text, or numeric questions with custom scoring logic. Observations can be captured on mobile devices, tablets, or desktops, online or offline, and synced to a central database. FRUIT calculates metrics from observations and supports trend analysis, segmentation, and user-defined calculations. Users can model future impact from historical data, growth assumptions, resource constraints, and time horizons. Admin, Program Manager, and Field Collector roles have different access levels; actions are logged with timestamps and user attribution. The product says submitted observations cannot be edited or deleted by administrators. The free FRUIT Seed plan is free and includes 2 targets, 2 brands, 1 admin user, and AI Insights. Paid plans are FRUIT Grow at $39 a month, FRUIT Steward at $119 a month, and FRUIT Harvest at $399 a month.
