Frequently asked questions
Little Green Light is cheaper — why pay more for Tormano?
At 2,500 records LGL is $45 and genuinely good value. The gap is scope: Tormano adds two-way QuickBooks sync, volunteer shift scheduling, grant lifecycle management, events with ticketing, a donor portal, tax receipt automation, and AI features. If you only need a clean donor database, LGL is a fair choice; if you are stitching LGL to spreadsheets and QuickBooks exports, the math changes.
How do the pricing models differ as we grow?
LGL's price steps with record count: $60 at 5,000, $75 at 10,000, $135 at 50,000. Tormano's tiers are feature-based: Starter $49 (5,000 contacts), Standard $99 (25,000), Professional $249 (unlimited).
Does Little Green Light handle volunteers?
LGL tracks volunteer hours and categories, which covers basic logging. It does not do shift scheduling or self-service signups; Tormano's volunteer module includes both, plus approval workflows and per-program notification routing.
Can I migrate from Little Green Light?
Yes. LGL-shaped import templates map constituents, gifts, and notes via CSV export, with automatic deduplication. Most imports complete in under an hour.
What about QuickBooks?
Tormano syncs two ways in real time: donations become sales receipts, pledges become invoices, funds map to classes, and your bookkeeper's changes flow back. Little Green Light does not advertise a native QuickBooks sync, so teams typically export and re-enter.
