Case Study “Other CRMs were evaluated, primarily Convio and eTapestry - both now owned by Blackbaud. Both were estimated to cost in the $6,000 USD range for setup with an ongoing cost of $300/month. CiviCRM was installed and configured with imported data for less than $1,500. Ongoing support and hosting costs are anticipated to be about half ofthose listed above for those Blackbaud systems. Perhaps more import than price is the freedom offered by open source software - CiviCRM 4.1 is completely without fees and the Associations data lives in anenvironment unaffected by corporate buyouts and changes in terms of service. The Capitol Page Association also enjoyes the integrationCiviCRM offers with their website CMS, Wordpress, which is also open source.” ~ http://civicrm.org/casestudy/node/1524
