Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Impact Layer and how it works.

What is Impact Layer and how does it work?

Impact Layer is a platform that helps organizations turn raw program data into clear, actionable insights. You connect your data sources, set up KPIs and indicators, and the platform automatically tracks progress, generates reports, and surfaces trends — so your team spends less time on spreadsheets and more time driving outcomes.

Who is Impact Layer designed for?

Impact Layer is built for NGOs, government agencies, foundations, and portfolio managers — anyone who needs to measure, track, and report on the real-world impact of their programs. Whether you manage a single project or hundreds of initiatives across countries, the platform scales to fit your needs.

Is Impact Layer free to use?

Yes — the Community Edition is completely free and open source. You can self-host it on your own infrastructure with no usage limits or vendor lock-in. For teams that need managed hosting, advanced features, or enterprise-grade support, we offer Professional and Enterprise plans.

How is Impact Layer different from a regular analytics tool?

Unlike general-purpose analytics tools, Impact Layer is purpose-built for impact measurement. It comes with built-in frameworks for theory of change, SDG alignment, beneficiary tracking, and stakeholder reporting — things you would normally have to build from scratch or manage in disconnected spreadsheets.

Can I try Impact Layer before committing to a paid plan?

Absolutely. You can start with the free Community Edition right away, or request a demo of the Professional or Enterprise plans. There is no credit card required and no time limit on the free tier.
