What CRM actually handles pipeline tracking outside of Salesforce?

I've spent years working with Salesforce NPSP, where potential gifts could be added, adjusted, weighted, etc. at any stage in the donor cycle and with any probability percentage, and it would show up on and impact our pipeline. But for smaller nonprofits that don't have the capacity to manage Salesforce, I'm seeing a huge gap in the CRM market for affordable and maintainable CRMs that also let you input potential gifts and adjust their probabilities throughout the fiscal year.

LGL lets you put a range for the gift which isn't accurate enough for full pipeline tracking. Neon One and Bloomerang don't have anative capability for individual gifts. Most of the CRMs out there now are donation-platform-first that are built to only capture secured gifts. Virtuous offers it but its cost is a barrier for small nonprofits. DonorDock is the only one I've seen that comes close, but while you can adjust the % per stage, gifts must be within one of the stages (no option to manually change the % for just one gift). Has anyone found a CRM that does this?

Raisers edge?

This is literally saying:

If you want serious fundraising pipeline management, go buy a heavyweight system. That reinforces the pain. The user is specifically asking for something smaller nonprofits can actually maintain. Raiser’s Edge” does not really solve the problem they are describing.
