Little Green Light Pricing Breakdown: What It Actually Costs in 2026

Little Green Light Pricing Tiers

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page

• ⚠ Payment processing is a separate fee: 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction, charged by the payment processor, not included in the subscription
• ⚠ Your cost increases automatically each time your record count crosses a tier boundary — active, lapsed, and archived contacts all count
• ⚠ No grant management at any tier — organizations tracking restricted funds or reporting grant expenditures need a separate compliance tool
• ⚠ No advanced analytics or donor retention dashboards — reporting is basic compared to donor-centric CRMs like Bloomerang

How Little Green Light Pricing Works

Little Green Light uses a single, all-features-included plan priced by record count. Every tier gives you the same capabilities — the only variable is how many contacts your database holds. There are no user limits, no setup fees, and no long-term contracts required.

Pricing starts at $45/month for up to 2,500 records and increases by roughly $15 per tier as your database grows. Annual prepayment cuts costs by 10%; shorter prepayment terms offer smaller discounts.

What the Record Count Includes

Every contact in your database counts toward your tier: active donors, lapsed donors, event attendees, volunteers, and organizations. The count is cumulative, not filtered by recency or giving status.

A 10-year-old nonprofit with a large lapsed-donor file may find itself in a higher tier than expected. Unlike platforms that let you archive old records without penalty, Little Green Light counts all records regardless of activity level.

What Is Not Included

Little Green Light’s feature set covers donor tracking, gift recording, pledge management, and basic reporting. What it does not cover:

• Grant lifecycle management
• Restricted fund tracking
• Expenditure reporting tied to specific grants
• Compliance documentation for audits

Nonprofits with active grant portfolios need a separate grant management system. Payment processing also runs outside the subscription at 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction.

GrantPipe: Flat Rate, Grant Compliance Included

GrantPipe prices by organization size rather than record count:

• Foundation ($20/month): Up to 5,000 donor records, up to 5 users, donor management, 5 active grant lifecycles
• Growth ($49/month): Unlimited records, 10 users, unlimited active grants, compliance automation
• Enterprise ($99/month): Unlimited users, API access, dedicated onboarding

For a small nonprofit managing fewer than 2,500 contacts with no active grants, Little Green Light’s $45/month entry point is lower. For any organization running 3+ active grants with restricted fund requirements, the combined cost of Little Green Light plus a grant tool exceeds GrantPipe’s Foundation tier — with the added burden of maintaining two separate systems.
