I worked with it to accept, manage and report donations for a political campaign here in Pennsylvania. We had to get some documents from the state and from the bank, but after that it was dead simple to manage it. I also like the fact that the donors already know it and trust it, and refcodes were a really nice feature for attribution. > > **Cons**: I don't really like the "make it monthly" and "please tip ActBlue" pitches that the donor gets after completing the form. I know you can deactivate and edit these to varying extents, but we're at the point now where this is unfortunately one of the defining characteristics of going through an ActBlue donation process. People know it's coming, they expect it, it's synonymous with the ActBlue platform. > > Overwhelmingly positive experience in setting up and managing the ActBlue account, in adding new users, and in getting quick turnarounds on having the account setup approved. No complaints in selecting this provider. ----- ### "Lack of Transparency" — 2.0/5 > **William** | *25 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's so easy to give money. It originally seemed so honest and transparent. > > **Cons**: ActBlue is totally opaque about what actually happens with donations. Moreover, they are intentionally NOT helping people identify open races at this date (02/25/25) They just let orgs like Elect Southern Democrats keep asking for more money with NO specificity, and NO accountability. Might as well just throw my donations away. > > I used to believe ActBlue was a genuine, honest, way to quickly donate to candidates of choice. No longer. ----- ### "RIGID & UNHELPFUL PLATFORM" — 2.0/5 > **TONY** | *11 June 2024* | Political Organization | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Actblue is a common platform for Democrats trying to raise money. > > **Cons**: \#1. I didn't like the bad support. Many of the staffers think that they know more than they really do about running for office and being a candidate. For example, the very first time I signed up with Actblue they didn't understand why I began my campaign so early. \#2. They will reject or "DEACTIVATE your account without speaking with you or a member of your campaign. Then you'll have to call them to ask what happened. Then they will find one of their "RULES" to justify what they did. \#3. Instead of asking you questions to maintain or continue your account, they ask "Gotcha" questions to DEACTIVATE your account. They sit around and have meetings about which accounts they want to attack and target. If your NOT an INCUMBENT, I wish you the best of luck. I think they want to attract only incumbents with big donors, etc. > > My overall experience is that they are NOT a very supportive platform. It appears that they are a platform that wants the incumbents with big donors. This platform is extremely too COMPLICATED for new candidates trying to build their base and build their support. It appears that they are not focused on fundraising. Instead they are focused on election year activity. ActBlue is not a platform for "INDEFINITE" candidates like mine who work hard during the election year and during the "OFF" year. To beat an incumbent you can't STOP working. This is what the folks at Actblue don't understand. I discovered that my account was "DEACTIVATED" because someone tried to donate and they sent me a screenshot which read, 'This candidate is no longer accepting contributions" or something like that. They SAID that they "deactivated" my account because I didn't respond to an email. I never received an email from them. And I feel that they should have CALLED me first\! That could have been a big donor\! Thanks to God, I found ANOTHER platform that is more supportive and more simple\! ----- ### "ActBlue ripped me off" — 1.0/5 > **Joris** | *4 August 2024* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: That it's pro-Democrat. I believe what motivates ActBlue is beneficial. > > **Cons**: That it alienates a lot of people by ripping them off, thereby having a negative effect on politics. > > Four or five years ago I donated a small amount to ActBlue as a onetime donation. It irritated me that ActBlue had preselected the "Yes, make it monthly\!" option, which I declined and clicked on the "No, donate only once" option. ActBlue nonetheless charged my card every month for the donation five or six times, without my noticing. I had to call my credit card company to invalidate the charges, as ActBlue would not do so. The preselection of the recurring donation option and the illegal repeated billing are deplorable. I want nothing to do with ActBlue ever again. ----- ### "ActBlue Good Donation Site" — 5.0/5 > **Janis** | *21 July 2024* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I accidentally typed in wrong \#s ($100 difference\!\!) Contacted ActBlue \& they immediately edited to correct amt\! > > **Cons**: You have to be very careful not to check recurring donation. Also, on this review form I think “retired” should be one of the job choices. I was able to add it later but your stats would be better if you knew the number of retired donors. > > Positive. Any issues resolved immediately. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/166188/actblue?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/166188/actblue) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
