#3 avg. position

+8 ahead of Little Green Light

Bloomerang leads the nonprofit CRM question but no single brand has locked it down.

Bloomerang appears in 92% of answers and holds the highest slot score at 74, yet its average position of 3 means it rarely opens as the first name dropped, and the gap to Little Green Light and Neon CRM is narrow enough that challengers remain visible throughout. Little Green Light actually matches Bloomerang's ChatGPT mention count at 4 and edges ahead on Perplexity, making it the closest rival across prompt phrasings. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the one outlier: Perplexity cites it in all 4 of its answers while ChatGPT mentions it only twice and Gemini skips it entirely, reflecting a genuine divergence in how models weigh enterprise scale versus nonprofit-specific fit. The answers themselves credit Bloomerang most often for donor retention focus, but that rationale isn't sticky enough to crowd out a field where eight brands each clear 50% mention rates.

Slot score is position-weighted, 0 to 100: being recommended first counts far more than a trailing mention. "Appears in" is the share of answers naming the brand at all.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

• "What's the best CRM for a nonprofit organization?"
• "We're a nonprofit, so pricing and donor management matter a lot to us. Which CRM should we use?"
