Comparison
Renegade Intel vs. NGP VAN
An honest comparison. NGP VAN is the long-standing standard of the Democratic campaign ecosystem. Renegade Intel is the nonpartisan AI campaign manager. They’re built for different worlds — here’s how to pick.
Choose NGP VAN if…
You’re a Democratic campaign that wants the party’s standard stack. NGP VAN is used across the Democratic ecosystem — including national party committees — and plugs into decades of party field infrastructure and state-party voter file access. If your state party is handing you VAN access, use it.
Choose Renegade Intel if…
You’re running as a Republican, an independent, or on a ballot measure — or you’re a Democrat who wants an AI-run operation with the strategy, creative studio, texting, call time, and FEC drafting in one login, at a price printed on the website.
The differences that matter
Who it serves
NGP VAN serves Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations — that’s its stated market, and the party relationship is its moat. Renegade Intel is nonpartisan by design: any party, independents, and ballot measures get the same tools at the same price.
How pricing works
NGP VAN’s pricing is quote-based — you request it. Renegade Intel’s is public: $500, $1,000, or $3,500 a month, month to month, on the
pricing page. No sales call required to learn the number.
What’s in the box
Renegade Intel ships all eight modules in every plan — an AI strategy council, print-ready creative studio, email and texting, field and GOTV, donor call time, and FEC report drafting in one login. With traditional stacks you typically assemble several products to cover the same ground.
The AI
Renegade was built AI-first: five frontier models answer your strategy questions — side by side or synthesized into one verdict — and the same AI does the work: drafts the mailer, sorts the text replies, builds today’s plan from your real data.
