Cobber
Cobber is a CRM and campaign platform for political parties, advocacy groups, and campaigns.
What Cobber is
Cobber is a CRM and campaign platform for political parties, advocacy groups, and campaigns. It brings members, donors, volunteers, and signups into searchable supporter records, then connects those records to hosted pages and forms, email and SMS campaigns, donations, memberships, events, tasks, and automations. Automations can prompt follow-up messages or team tasks after supporters donate, sign, volunteer, or contact an organization. National, state, and branch divisions can use roles that limit local organizers' access to their assigned areas. Supporters are tagged with their federal seat, state seat, and local government area when they sign up. The Prospects feature uses AI and deterministic rankings to identify supporters to call and suggest why and how much to ask. Membership types sync to Stripe products for online payment, and the help centre lists API documentation. Its NationBuilder importer recognizes exports and creates person records, but summarizes donor history rather than importing donations as individual transactions; it also does not create membership records automatically. Cobber Software Pty Ltd is based in Brisbane, and the site describes Cobber as Australian-built and Sydney-hosted. Pricing is on request.

Who it suits
Cobber is suited to political parties, advocacy groups, and campaigns that need supporter records connected to outreach and fundraising tools. Its division-based permissions may suit organizations with national, state, and branch structures.
Verdict
Cobber combines supporter management, campaign outreach, and fundraising features for political and advocacy organizations. Teams migrating from NationBuilder should account for the import limits on donation history and memberships.
