Great idea but poor execution **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Political Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2019 **What do you like best about OutreachCircle?** I love the idea of peer-to-peer voter contact. I think the tool was very user friendly overall. I think that this tool isn't perfect at the moment, but it is heading in the right direction and I'm excited to see where they go leading up to the next election cycle. **What do you dislike about OutreachCircle?** The main issue I had with VoterCircle is that their API into our voter contact management system (NGP VAN) didn't function correctly. There was always a very large discrepancy between the number of voters contacted as displayed by VoterCircle vs the number displayed by NGP VAN. Although I worked extensively with VoterCircle's support team, we were unable to solve this problem. This left our organization questioning if the data provided by VoterCircle was really accurate, which undermined confidence and hindered implementation. VoterCircle also focuses exclusively on the email channel for reaching voters. While this is certainly a good vector, the sytem lacks the ability to handle mail or phone/sms contacts. **Recommendations to others considering OutreachCircle:** Be very careful when considering this product. There are several alternatives including MyRVP (My Relational Voter Program) that you should consider before settling on VoterCircle **What problems is OutreachCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were mainly focused on making it easy for our network of supporters to contact their friends to encourage them to support our campaign with their votes. We had very limited success and arguably no return on our investment. ### 3. Great idea - bad execution and customer service **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Political Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2019 **What do you like best about OutreachCircle?** If it had worked with Facebook like it was initially sold to us, it could have been a great product. **What do you dislike about OutreachCircle?** Initially, this concept was sold to us as having Facebook integration - that went away. It solely operated on email, which plenty of folks do not regularly use email - especially not to have personal conversations with their friends. While our volunteers would have felt comfortable talking about our campaigns via Facebook, they felt like they would be betraying confidence/convention if they suddenly used the personal email address for the parents in their child's soccer club to talk about politics. The match rate was atrocious. Even some of our staff who have 100s of complete contacts of folks who were definitely in VAN and fit our voter profile, would have less than a 10% match rate. Tons of volunteers would have 0 matches - which was extremely disheartening. We would report this and VC would tell us they were working on it, claim a fix, and we would try to roll it out to a group of volunteers again, and the same thing would happen. This was damaging to our campaign - it hurt our reputation, it was a time suck with no return on investment, it was expensive, and the customer service - even all the way up to the CEO/Founder, was downright rude. **Recommendations to others considering OutreachCircle:** Don't - it's too new and campaigns are too important to waste time here. While VC may have worked with small campaigns, it is not currently in a scalable place. **What problems is OutreachCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were attempting to connect to voters who were not currently part of our phone or door program, and expand capacity for volunteers and supporters to become leaders, and direct/expand some of their own work. ### 4. Great customer service, software work-in-progress **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2018 **What do you like best about OutreachCircle?** The ease of use on behalf of canvassers - it's easy to explain and get a first round of users on the platform. **What do you dislike about OutreachCircle?** Not easy to use for an administrator - definitely needs improvements on that end. **What problems is OutreachCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Voter outreach and identifying yes/no votes ## OutreachCircle Discussions - [What is OutreachCircle used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-outreachcircle-used-for) - [View OutreachCircle pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/outreachcircle/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+19%3A01%3A47+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f4aca493-b6bc-4bd8-957c-fca4256ac579&secure%5Btoken%5D=8cd4f64812a146f32244b2fc8818326eaab8fd6424f281dab723b11f4590f96e&format=llm_user) ## OutreachCircle Features **Campaign Tools** - Content Management - Volunteer Management - Fundraising - Events and Ticketing **Communication Tools** - Social Network Sync - Email Messaging - Text Messaging - Communication Analytics **Field Tools** - Route Mapping - Digital Forms - Call Lists ## Top OutreachCircle Alternatives - [Bonterra EveryAction](https://www.g2.com/products/bonterra-everyaction/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (280 reviews) - [NationBuilder](https://www.g2.com/products/nationbuilder/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (107 reviews) - [NGP VAN](https://www.g2.com/products/ngp-van/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (72 reviews)
