### What is the difference between Core ActBlue and Raise by ActBlue?

ActBlue offers two solutions for campaigns and organizations looking to fundraise with our tools: **Core ActBlue** and **Raise by ActBlue**. You can find the primary differences in the chart below: 

![Frame+2](https://help.actblue.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Frame+2.png?width=580&height=751&name=Frame+2.png)

In most cases, you were likely prompted to select which solution type best suited your campaign or organization's needs during the account set-up process:

### **What if my account wasn't set up this way or I can't remember which solution I selected?**

If you're unsure whether you have an ActBlue or Raise by ActBlue Dashboard, you can easily confirm your solution type by [signing into ActBlue](https://secure.actblue.com/signin?source=homepage_header) and navigating to your **My** **Dashboards.**

The **My Dashboards** tab will display all Dashboards you have access to, as well as the solution type for each Dashboard. In the example shown below, the Dashboard's solution type is listed as **Raise by ActBlue**.

### **Can I tell which solution type I'm using from my fundraising Dashboard?**

Yes! To confirm which solution type you're using from your Dashboard, simply inspect the logo and navigation bar displayed at the top of your screen. 

If you see a white Raise by ActBlue logo on a navy blue navigation bar, then your solution type is Raise by ActBlue: 

![](https://help.actblue.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screenshot+2025-05-19+at+5.05.38%E2%80%AFPM.png?width=665&height=50&name=Screenshot+2025-05-19+at+5.05.38%E2%80%AFPM.png)

 

If you see the standard ActBlue logo on a white navigation bar above a blue Dashboard banner, then your solution type is ActBlue:
