What Rally Starter is
Rally Starter is a web platform for nonprofits and organizers to run advocacy campaigns and follow their progress. Campaigns can invite supporters to sign petitions, email or call decision-makers, join boycotts, take social media or other online actions, and make pledges. Rallybot, an AI-powered assistant, can help with campaign strategy, writing, and contacting Congress. The free Starter Rally plan includes campaign messaging, custom decision-maker targeting, a U.S. Congressional database, donation page links, unlimited supporter update emails, and a campaign hosted on Rallystarter.com. Pro Rally costs $49 a month and adds website embeds with customizable font, color, and size, supporter list CSV downloads, Mailchimp and Google Tag Manager integrations, and priority support. Enterprise Rally costs $345 a month and includes Pro features, custom CRM integrations, dedicated marketing support, an advocacy strategy session, paid media management, onboarding, and training. A 7-day free Pro trial is available; the FAQ says cancellation during the trial avoids a charge.
