Transparency alternatives to Beacon
Other Nonprofit fundraising vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Beacon. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 36 that differ from Beacon on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Beacon has 5 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Data location stated, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Beacon” is the one that closes them.
