Electbase vs RUN!
Both build campaign websites. The difference this page is about is the "Paid for by" line at the bottom of every page: Electbase writes it for you; RUN! gives you somewhere to type it.
| Electbase | RUN! | |
|---|---|---|
| The “Paid for by” disclaimer | Generated from your committee details — in your state’s own wording in 12 states and the federal form everywhere else. A site cannot be published without one, and we tell you when yours differs from the wording we generate. See which states. | Not generated from committee details. Donate blocks have an optional disclaimer you switch on and fill in; the help center documents no committee-data source and nothing state-specific. Their wording: “Both types of donation components provide the option of turning on a disclaimer.” Source, checked 2026-09-22 |
| Price, as published | $29 to $249 a month, with custom offerings quoted per engagement. | $50/month per site, plus a one-time activation fee set by district population — $0 under 10k, $500, $750, $1,500, or $2,000 above 150k. Source, checked 2026-09-22 |
| Who can use it | Democratic, nonpartisan and PAC campaigns. | Democratic-aligned campaigns and organizations; the terms reserve the right to terminate accounts used in opposition to Democrats. Source, checked 2026-09-22 |
| Donations | Your processor, not ours: ActBlue, Anedot, Donorbox, Numero and more. We never touch the money. | No processing of its own; donate blocks link out to ActBlue, Campaign Deputy, GoodChange, Numero and others. Source, checked 2026-09-22 |
| If you stop paying | You own your domain and your data, export any time, and can keep the site as a read-only archive after the election. | You buy and own your domain through a registrar. After cancellation the site stays up to the end of the period; form submissions export to CSV. Source, checked 2026-09-22 |
Every competitor fact below was read from that vendor's own public pages on the date shown — product pages, pricing pages, help centers and terms. Third-party reviews were never used as a source. Where a vendor's site does not document something, the cell says so rather than guessing. RUN! may have changed something since 2026-09-22 — if you spot that, tell us and we will correct it. Electbase is not affiliated with RUN!, and names are their owners’.
What we do not claim
This is a comparison of published facts, not legal advice, and we do not certify that any disclaimer meets the law for your campaign. We generate the wording and tell you when yours differs; your counsel decides the final language.
