Our honest recommendation

Choose Charidy for a flagship 24-hour matching campaign if you want their coaching and brand recognition — then bring every donor into 613OS for cultivation. Many schools do exactly that.

This comparison is based on publicly available information and is provided for general guidance; features and pricing change frequently — verify details directly with each vendor. 613OS is not affiliated with or endorsed by any company mentioned. Where 613OS lacks a capability (such as gradebooks and academic records), we say so and recommend an SIS integration.
