Neutrality note: NPO Resources does not rank or endorse tools. This guide summarizes publicly available information about website builders, analytics tools, and forms/scheduling tools nonprofit teams commonly use so they can compare options and decide what to verify directly with each provider.

A nonprofit’s web presence usually involves more than one product. A team may run a website on a hosted builder or a self-hosted content management system, monitor how people find and use that website with analytics tools, and collect registrations, applications, donations intake, or meeting bookings through separate forms and scheduling tools. This source-based guide organizes the eight tools currently listed in the NPO Resources Website & Digital Tools topic so teams can compare categories, pricing models, and access paths before committing.

Tools are listed alphabetically. Inclusion does not imply endorsement. Pricing, free-tier limits, feature availability, and any nonprofit-specific program terms may change; every entry below is paired with a reminder to verify current details with the provider.

What “website and digital tools” usually covers

“Website and digital tools” is a broad label. For a nonprofit, it usually covers the products that support the public-facing website itself, the tools that measure how the site performs, and the utilities that let visitors take action — signing up, applying, donating, or booking a meeting. Providers describe these products in different ways, so the practical question is usually less about a single category label and more about which specific workflows a tool covers and how it connects to the rest of the team’s setup.

The tools in this guide fall into three loose functional groups, listed here only for reader orientation. Within each group, and across every table below, entries stay alphabetical.

How the tools in this guide are typically used

Website platforms

Website platforms host and publish the nonprofit’s public website. They may include page editors, templates, hosting, and content management. The three website platforms in this guide use different models: Webflow is a hosted visual design and CMS platform with paid site and workspace plans; Wix is a hosted drag-and-drop website builder with a free tier that includes Wix branding and paid premium plans; and WordPress exists as two distinct paths — open-source software available at WordPress.org that a team can self-host through a separate hosting provider, and WordPress.com, a commercial hosted product operated by Automattic with its own plans. These are described separately below.

Website analytics and behavior

Analytics and behavior tools help a nonprofit understand how visitors reach the site and how they interact with it once they arrive. Google Analytics is publicly described as free for the standard product and focuses on traffic and engagement measurement. Google Search Console is publicly described as free and focuses on how the site appears in Google Search results, sitemap submission, and indexing. Microsoft Clarity is publicly described as free and focuses on session recordings, heatmaps, and click and scroll behavior. Each of these products is still governed by the provider’s terms of service and product changes; teams should verify current details with the provider.

Forms and scheduling

Forms and scheduling tools are the utilities visitors interact with to take an action on the site. Jotform is an online form and survey builder publicly referenced for registrations, applications, donations intake, and general data collection, with a free tier and paid tiers. A specific nonprofit-facing page was not confirmed during this review, so teams should verify current nonprofit-related information directly with the provider. Calendly is a scheduling tool publicly referenced for sharing availability and letting contacts book meetings, with a free tier and paid subscription tiers.

Website and digital tools listed in NPO Resources

The eight tools below are published in the NPO Resources Website & Digital Tools topic. They are listed alphabetically. Where a specific provider pricing or nonprofit program page could not be confirmed during this review, it is linked at the domain level and paraphrased cautiously.

Scheduling and booking

Calendly

Publicly listed scheduling tool used to share availability and let contacts book meetings such as donor calls, volunteer intake, or partner intros. Provider publicly references a free tier alongside paid subscription tiers. The specific nonprofit program page is needs verification; verify current tiers, limits, and any nonprofit-specific offer with the provider.

Calendly resource page
Website and app analytics

Google Analytics

Publicly listed website and app analytics product from Google, used to measure traffic, engagement, and conversions. The standard product is publicly described as free for most organizations; an enterprise tier exists separately. Access is governed by the provider’s terms of service and product changes; verify current product name, data retention settings, and terms with the provider.

Google Analytics resource page
Search performance and indexing

Google Search Console

Publicly described as a free tool from Google for monitoring how a site appears in Google Search results, submitting sitemaps, and reviewing search performance and indexing status. Product access is governed by Google’s broader terms; verify current features, verification methods, and terms with the provider.

Google Search Console resource page
Online forms and surveys

Jotform

Publicly listed online form and survey builder used for registrations, applications, donations intake, and general data collection. Provider publicly references a free tier and paid subscription tiers. A specific nonprofit-facing program page was not confirmed during this review; verify any current nonprofit-related eligibility, discount details, and current tiers with the provider.

Jotform resource page
Website behavior analytics

Microsoft Clarity

Publicly described as a free behavior analytics product from Microsoft, covering session recordings, heatmaps, and click and scroll insights for a website. Product access is governed by Microsoft’s broader terms; verify current features, data retention, and terms with the provider.

Microsoft Clarity resource page
Website design and hosting

Webflow

Publicly listed website design and hosting platform combining a visual editor with a hosted CMS. Pricing has multiple tiers covering site plans and workspace plans. The specific pricing and nonprofit-facing pages are needs verification; verify current tiers, any e-commerce or transaction fees, and any nonprofit-specific offer with the provider.

Webflow resource page
Hosted website builder

Wix

Publicly listed hosted website builder with templates, drag-and-drop editing, e-commerce, and add-on features.

Wix resource page
Content management system

WordPress

Content management system commonly used by nonprofits, available as two distinct paths. WordPress.org is open-source software with no license fee, typically self-hosted through a separate hosting provider and extended with themes and plugins. WordPress.com is a commercial hosted product operated by Automattic with its own free tier and paid hosted plans. The specific pricing and nonprofit-facing pages for WordPress.com are needs verification; verify each path separately with its official source.

The table below groups the same eight tools by publicly listed category and pricing model. This is a factual grouping only — it does not rank tools or imply that any category or pricing model is preferred.

Publicly listed access paths

The tools in this guide reach nonprofit teams through different access paths. The grouping below summarizes those paths for orientation only; it is not a ranking, and inclusion in any group does not imply that a nonprofit-specific offer exists unless the provider publicly lists one.

Publicly free

Publicly described as free

Google Analytics (standard product), Google Search Console, and Microsoft Clarity are publicly described by their providers as free. Access is still governed by the provider’s broader terms; describe cautiously.

Free tier plus paid

Free tier with paid upgrades

Calendly, Jotform, Wix, and WordPress.com (the hosted commercial product) publicly reference a free tier alongside paid plans. Free-tier limits and paid features vary; verify with the provider.

Paid plans

Paid plans as primary access

Webflow lists multiple paid site and workspace plans as the primary access path. Verify current tiers with the provider.

Open source

Open-source software

WordPress.org is open-source software with no license fee. Hosting, themes, plugins, and any professional services are separate and paid to the respective provider.

The article does not present any of these paths as better or worse. They are factual pricing and access differences that affect what teams need to verify.

What to verify with the provider

Use the checklist below when reviewing a specific product page. The goal is not to rank tools, but to make sure the team has confirmed the details that matter most before committing.

Pricing

Current tiers and limits

Confirm published tiers, what each tier includes, any add-on or transaction fees, and how billing works after the first term.

Free tier

Where the free tier ends

Note the specific limits — branding, contacts, submissions, bookings, users, or feature access — that would trigger a paid upgrade.

Program

Nonprofit-specific program

Check whether the provider publicly lists a “for Nonprofits” program page, and what eligibility and documentation it references.

Data

Data ownership and export

Confirm where the data and content are stored, who owns them, and how they can be exported if the team changes tools.

Integrations

Connected systems

List the CRM, email, donation, event, analytics, payment, and calendar tools that must connect, and verify supported integrations.

Support

Support channels

Note publicly listed support routes: help center, email, chat, community forum, paid onboarding, or partner directory.

Questions to ask before choosing a platform

  • Which website goals does the team need the platform to support: publishing content, collecting donations, running events, or all of the above?
  • Is the free tier realistic for the team’s expected usage, or is a paid tier required from the start?
  • Does the provider publicly list a “for Nonprofits” program page, and do we meet the eligibility criteria it references?
  • How will the platform connect to our CRM, email tool, donation forms, and analytics setup?
  • If we self-host (for example, WordPress.org), which hosting provider will we use, and who owns updates and security?
  • Can we export our content, contacts, form submissions, or booking data if we move to a different provider later?
  • Which team member owns day-to-day updates, and which tasks require external help?
  • Does the platform’s accessibility and language support match the audiences we serve?

Frequently asked questions

Nonprofits commonly combine a website platform (for example, Webflow, Wix, or WordPress), one or more analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, or Microsoft Clarity), and utilities for forms or scheduling (for example, Jotform or Calendly). The right combination depends on the team’s audience, capacity, budget, and existing tools. NPO Resources does not rank these products; the article lists them alphabetically so teams can compare and verify.

Google Analytics (standard product), Google Search Console, and Microsoft Clarity are publicly described by their providers as free. Calendly, Jotform, Wix, and WordPress.com publicly reference a free tier alongside paid plans. WordPress.org is open-source software with no license fee, but hosting is paid separately to a hosting provider. All of these terms may change; verify current details with each provider.

WordPress.org is the open-source content management software; a nonprofit installs it on a hosting provider it chooses, and extends it with themes and plugins. WordPress.com is a commercial hosted product operated by Automattic that runs the software on its own infrastructure with its own plans. The two paths have different pricing, feature availability, and maintenance responsibilities and should be evaluated separately on their own official pages.

Verify current pricing tiers and free-tier limits, feature availability at the plan being considered, any nonprofit-specific program and its eligibility rules, how data and content are stored and exported, which integrations are supported for the team’s existing tools, and which support channels the provider publicly lists. Because provider terms change, teams should not treat the details in any secondary article as permanent.
