How is GetCourageNow different?
Though popular campaign volunteer recruitment technology such as Mobilize.us, Facebook, OutreachCircle, EveryAction, and Swing Left are effective at recruiting people for easy actions like registering to vote, joining a phone bank or showing up at a small protest.
None of them have the capabilities GetCourageNow has to recruit and commit large numbers of volunteers for tactics that involve serious risk of time or loss of work (e.g. a strike) - actions that take courage. For a more granular comparison of GetCourageNow's features to those of the aforementioned apps, as well as others, please see our solution matrix here.
We hope however, that one or more of these widely used platforms and apps will soon want to integrate our most powerful commitment increasing features into their platforms.
