FRUIT Impact vs UpMetrics

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.

UpMetrics manages impact reporting for nonprofits, grantmakers, foundations, and impact investors, from choosing measures to sharing results. Its workflow links customizable metrics, collaborative data collection, centralized data management, analytics, and external storytelling. Teams can code and categorize stories, photos, interviews, and testimonials, associate them with programs, and analyze them alongside quantitative data. Charts and dashboards can be reused, shared by public link, embedded, or exported without exposing underlying data. Integrations include Google Sheets, SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, CSV exports, and some grant-management systems; custom API and RPA connections are available through Services. UpMetrics says hosted content is encrypted at rest and in transit, with customer data logically separated and MFA for sensitive access. It is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and says it will notify customers in writing within 72 hours of a confirmed breach. Standard onboarding usually takes about four to six weeks. The free Starter Plan includes framework-building tools and a public profile page; Professional costs $1,450 a year.
