Both platforms serve progressive campaigns. Here's a factual look at how they differ — and how to decide which is right for your race.
GoodChange is an online fundraising platform for progressive campaigns, PACs, state parties, trade associations, and nonpartisan candidates — built by Level Wins in Little Rock, Arkansas. It focuses specifically on donation infrastructure: same-day launch, donor fee coverage, spare change round-ups, peer-to-peer tools, a full API, embeddable forms, and compliance reporting. Pricing starts at 3.75% + 25¢ per transaction with no monthly fees and no platform tips.
Numero is a Y Combinator-backed political technology platform founded in 2019 that combines a donor CRM, and payment processing. It was designed as an alternative to legacy tools like NGP VAN.

This is Numero's core differentiator. Numero includes built-in call time tools — scheduling, tracking, and logging candidate calls to donors directly in the platform. GoodChange is a donation-focused platform and does not include call time management. For campaigns where candidate call time is a primary fundraising driver, Numero's integrated call tools offer real operational value.
GoodChange offers a full API, automated webhooks, and embeddable donation forms that drop directly into any website. Numero is primarily a closed platform built around its own interface — it does not emphasize API access and advanced integrations capacity, or third-party embeds. For campaigns with digital agencies, developers, or custom infrastructure, GoodChange provides significantly more integration flexibility.
GoodChange offers spare change round-ups — a passive giving feature where donors connect a card and round up everyday purchases to the nearest dollar, with the difference going to the campaign automatically. This creates ongoing, low-friction revenue without repeated asks. Numero does not offer this feature. For campaigns focused on growing a base of small-dollar, recurring micro-donors, this is a meaningful GoodChange advantage.
