Donr vs Hustle

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.

Hustle is a communications platform for texts, calls and video messages, with broadcasts, automated responses and live one-to-one conversations. Users can send personalized SMS and MMS to targeted audience members, tag them and retarget smaller groups. Its video options include short Clips distributed by text, Personalized Clips and longer Hustle Stories. The AI-powered Script Assistant helps users create communications described as creative and brand-safe. Hustle offers mobile and web apps, plus integrations for Salesforce, NGP VAN and EveryAction, Blackbaud Luminate Online, Blackbaud TeamRaiser and PDI. It also lists a public API, although programmatic message sending through it is in development. Salesforce imports support up to 100,000 Campaign members or 2,000 Report rows. Hustle says it is SOC 2 certified and lists encryption in transit and at rest, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning. The PAYGO plan has a $250 a month platform fee, with SMS billed at $0.04 per segment. Annual commitments start at $10,000 a year and include priority support queue access and Client Success Manager support. Hustle serves nonprofits, education, commercial organizations, politics, government, and labor and unions.
