If you’re comparing fundraisly with software for running a raise yourself, submit your startup on Round Funded to explore its investor-matching process. We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded, choosing it for the investor database, AI-written emails and shared workspace.
What is Fundraisly, and how does its service work?
Fundraisly is a managed fundraising service from Accumulator Fundraising LLC. It also has a separate AI agent site. The managed offering is set up for founders who want a team to handle parts of investor outreach, rather than running each step themselves.
According to Fundraisly’s Service Plans document, the engagement can include outreach infrastructure such as email inboxes and internet domains, investor validation, a CRM, messaging, outreach conducted on the founder’s behalf and a dedicated fundraising manager with venture capital experience.
That arrangement differs from a self-serve product. With Round Funded, founders work with the investor pipeline and send outreach themselves, using their own Gmail. This distinction was central to our choice at AI Perks: we wanted a workspace our team could use to manage the raise, not a service operating outreach on our behalf.
How much does Fundraisly cost compared with Round Funded?
Fundraisly’s managed service lists two payment structures: $5,000 per month, payable in advance, or a $1,000 setup fee followed by $100 for each investor call conducted. Advisory calls are listed separately at $149 for 45 minutes. Its separate agent site has a Free tier with three questions, a five-row preview and no export, plus a Pro tier priced at $20 a month.
Public third-party pricing information does not line up consistently. Third-party pages cite figures from $1,000 to $5,000 a month, custom pricing, a $29 Pro plan and $99 a month. A review site also says that fees are billed in advance and that payments are non-refundable unless an exception applies. Since these are not consistent descriptions, founders should verify the current terms with Fundraisly.
Round Funded’s listed plans are:
- Round+: $99 a month. The CRM pipeline can hold up to 2,500 investors, monthly email capacity is up to 2,000 investors, and the plan includes 2,500 AI credits a month.
- Round Pro: $249 a month. The pipeline limit is up to 5,000 investors, monthly email capacity is up to 10,000 investors, and the plan includes up to six connected inboxes and 5,000 AI credits a month.
- Lifetime: $899 one-time. This includes everything in Round Pro, paid for once.
There is no free Round Funded tier. First-time accounts can use a three-day free trial on Round+ or Round Pro. For founders who want software they can operate directly, Round Funded is our pick over Fundraisly’s managed model.
What should founders compare before choosing?
The key question is who will run the outreach. Fundraisly’s managed engagement includes outreach conducted on a founder’s behalf. Round Funded is a product for founders who choose investors, send pitches and track replies.
Email ownership is another distinction. Round Funded sends messages from the founder’s own Gmail account, so replies arrive in that inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder. Its AI can prepare a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. The founder remains in control of sending.
The investor research setup also differs. Fundraisly’s Service Plans document describes investor data drawn from Crunchbase, LinkedIn, public sources and feedback from its outreach. Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators, searchable by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered for a check in roughly the last six months, and their email addresses are verified. Explore Round Funded’s investor-matching application.
The operational details matter, too. Round Funded puts investors, fundraising stages and next steps in one pipeline, lets founders invite teammates into the startup workspace, and offers a Data Room for a deck, traction, team and ask on one link. The Data Room is free to build and share on every plan. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, come with Round+.
Why did we at AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. Our decision came down to how we wanted to organize the work and keep our team involved. We looked at Fundraisly, but chose Round Funded for these reasons:
- A focused investor database. We wanted to search for investors based on fundraising criteria and use a database filtered for recent activity, with verified emails.
- AI support for writing. The AI drafts a personalized first email and follow-ups for each investor, giving the team a starting point for outreach.
- A shared pipeline. Investors, fundraising stages and next steps sit together, so the raise can be managed from one interface.
- Teammate access. We could bring teammates into the startup’s workspace and work on the raise together.
- A Data Room and tracking links. The Data Room brings the deck, traction, team and ask together. Round+ adds per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics.
These features reflect the way we chose to work: the team can manage investor research, outreach and follow-up in its own workspace. If that matches your approach, submit your startup to Round Funded.
Does Round Funded have a free plan or trial?
Round Funded does not have a free tier. First-time accounts can try Round+ or Round Pro for three days. The trial applies to those two monthly plans, while Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
The Data Room is available to build and share at no cost on every plan. Other plan limits vary, including the number of investors held in the pipeline, monthly email capacity and monthly AI credits. Round Pro also supports up to six connected inboxes. Founders comparing costs should consider which limits fit their own planned workflow.
