We can't say, because Virtuous doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page describes flexible pricing tailored to your needs, so you need a quote. HelpOne is $299/month or $2,990/year with every module, at any size. Ask Virtuous for a quote that covers every product you need, such as the CRM, volunteers and events, then compare the totals.
No. Virtuous is built for fundraising teams. Its pricing page lists donor and pipeline management, marketing automation, workflow and journey automation, online giving pages, AI tools for gift officers and predictive donor analytics. HelpOne covers donor records, giving history, pledges, auctions, sponsorships and giving statements, but it doesn't list those AI and prediction tools. If advanced fundraising automation is your top need, look closely at Virtuous.
No. Volunteers, events, finances, HR and board are all in the one plan. At Virtuous, volunteer management is listed as its own product, Virtuous Volunteer, with personalized pricing, and Virtuous's marketplace lists it as a paid product upgrade. Events management is listed with Virtuous CRM+.
