How the two stack up

What Neon CRM offers

  • All-in-one scope across fundraising, events, and memberships
  • Unlimited records - pricing does not scale with your database size
  • An Intuit QuickBooks Solution Provider; one-way push sync
  • Broad fundraising feature coverage

Where Tormano goes further

  • Volunteers, events, and memberships included in the tier instead of percentage add-ons
  • Two-way QuickBooks sync - finance's changes flow back to the CRM
  • Flat tiers that do not rise with your fundraising revenue
  • AI grant writing, donor scoring, and proactive insights on Professional

Frequently asked questions

How does Neon's pricing model differ?

Neon prices by your organization's revenue with unlimited records, plus percentage add-ons for Volunteers (+10%), Events (+20%), and Memberships (+10%). Tormano prices flat by tier with those modules included. Tormano's flat tiers include Volunteers, Events, and Memberships, so the price you see is the whole price; Neon's base price adds a percentage for each module you turn on.

What is the difference in QuickBooks sync?

Direction. Neon's sync pushes data one way, from Neon into QuickBooks Online. Tormano's is two-way and real-time: changes your bookkeeper makes in QuickBooks flow back into the CRM, and payments, refunds, and customer edits stay reconciled on both sides.

Does Tormano match Neon's events features?

Not entirely. Tormano covers registration your team records, capacity with an automatic waitlist, day-of check-in, and revenue tied to the donor record, plus an Eventbrite sync that turns external registrations into contacts automatically - included in the plan rather than a 20% add-on. Tormano does not sell tickets online: there is no public event page and no ticket checkout, so if online ticket sales matter to you, keep an events tool alongside it.

Can I migrate from Neon CRM?

Yes. Neon-shaped import templates map constituents, donations, memberships, and history via CSV export, with automatic deduplication.

How do record limits compare?

Neon includes unlimited records at every price; Tormano's Starter and Standard tiers cap contacts at 5,000 and 25,000, and Professional is unlimited. For very large databases, Professional is the tier to compare.
