US Development Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Focus is accounting" January 2, 2019 3.0 I was searching for a donor management CRM and Aplos was one of the software options sent my way. While I think they would be great for a company or NGO looking to centralize their accounting and other administrative and fundraising efforts, my organization already has accounting set up elsewhere and was looking for a CRM focused on the fundraising and donor relationship offer exclusively. Pros Comprehensive platform if you are looking to run accounting, donor management and prospecting, etc from one place Cons Heavy accounting focus and that isn't what we needed. No one contacted me by phone like other CRMs, so questioned their customer service. Review Source AG Arch G. Treasurer Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software program for those will little experience" October 5, 2016 4.0 I was new as a Treasurer and had never done it before, but after doing a lot of research I concluded that Aplos was the best value for the price. Their one-month trial period is also a great way to test out the system and see if it works for your accounting needs, and it did for ours, a smaller non-profit with about a $50,000 annual budget. The budgeting feature is great, and the support you receive from individuals is awesome. I was on the phone with their staff for an hour one day and they walked me through setting up my account. Great service and great product, particularly the reports they allow you to publish! Review Source LM Lauren M. Executive Director Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Friendly to those who aren't finance-savvy! " November 16, 2017 5.0 As someone who has been afraid of setting up a chart of accounts, I am so glad that we picked Aplos. I feel like we are going to be able to organize and present our finances so much more professionally than ever before. Pros Aplos has many good Introductory materials, and does a lot to help you get set up. There is also good customer support, and helpful webinars for when questions do arise. Cons Aplos doesn't integrate with a number of applications, which would be helpful such as payroll, or most Donor Management platforms. Review Source DM Dan M. CFO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Aplos" October 27, 2016 4.0 This software is really helpful with using Paypal with my organization.

Used the software for: ### "Aplos software for non profit corporation" January 4, 2017 5.0 I have used Aplos software for several years, in fact, I was one of their early customers and have been with them through many changes and updates. They are very quick to respond to questions and have been helpful in resolving any issues I have asked them about. I would not hesitate to recommend Aplos to other nonprofits. Review Source SK Steve K. Used the software for: ### "Simple and good" February 1, 2017 4.0 I have been using Aplos for 3 years. It is a simple and effective tool. It tracks all our contributions and expenses. It also gives me the ability to file taxes straight from the software with no extra work. I also like it because they store my records for me web based. You can also reconcile it with your bank records. Review Source AS Adam S.

Treasurer Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Aplos Accounting Software" April 28, 2017 5.0 Since we are a very small non-profit, we were offered a nice discount, which really helped. Pros Easy to use. Easy to learn. Great customer support if you have questions. Designed to work with non-profits, which has helped me learn how to provide accounting support for our non-profit. Cons Haven't found anything yet. We do very basic stuff, and probably don't need a very complicated accounting system. Review Source CE Chela E. Office Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Unique" March 28, 2018 5.0 Pros Had the privilege to do some work for my church and used this software to help with the funding and loved it. It was very user-friendly, had lots of features and widgets to make our lives easier. Cons Apart from the program itself, it doesn't have a lot of ways for one to do some customization on templates and different stuff you'd like to do, but overall, great buy! Review Source PS Patricia S. Religious Institutions Used the software for: ### "I like using Aplos" August 20, 2014 5.0 Pros I like the church lingo, and it's easy to understand. Cons I haven't come across anything up to this point. We're only six months old at this point; maybe as time goes on, I'll have more to say. Review Source SH Stephanie H.

Used the software for: ### "Mixed review" March 4, 2015 3.5 Pros Easy to use with free support and can be accessed anywhere online. Cons The monthly subscription price.

Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: ### "Accounting manager" February 28, 2015 4.0 Pros Productivity reports and IT support provided to our clients and customers.

Vice President Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best accounting for non profits" September 6, 2016 4.5 Pros When compare to all other this is the absolute best accounting for non profit. The donation management platform is worth it by itself. It a very crucial part in bringing in money to non profits and Aplos allows you to track all of the data. Cons The product was all around good, but the user interface itself took sometime to understand. Review Source BM Bruce M. CFO Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Aplos is an easy to use double-entry accounting system ideal for a newly minted 501 C 3 such as Direct Giving Lab!" December 7, 2017 4.0 Some functions (like tags) need better explanation - it looks like we should be able to easily generate the necessary data for our 990 filings but we won't know till we get there! Pros Intuitive to use Navigation is straightforward Most issues can be resolved with a quick look at the Help notes Cons A needed feature is the ability to quickly replicate repeating monthly data - for example DGL makes cash transfers to client families on a monthly basis and while the client name is in the system along with contact details, etc - we have to manually enter the same $$ amount transferred every month. It would be helpful to have an ability to easily import the data. Review Source RB Robin B. none Used the software for: ### "Aplos" February 24, 2017 5.0 We are just starting out with Aplos! Just been 15 days! It will benefit our organization! Review Source JB Janel B. CFO Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Accounting Software" June 16, 2016 4.5 Pros The vendor offers great youtube videos to show potential customers how to navigate the software. This aided in my decision in purchasing Aplos. Cons I wish the contributions module had a feature where you could import contributions using a CSV file. Currently you have to manually input each contribution. Review Source BG Bruce G. Used the software for: ### "Bookkeeper " January 4, 2017 5.0 Aplos is the best fund accounting software ever. We switched from other software and now our life is much easier. Thank you. Review Source KR Kent R. CEO Religious Institutions Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Life Savers!" June 18, 2018 5.0 Pros Aplos saved me days of gathering and filling out paperwork that would have been completely unnecessary. And the fee was very reasonable. So easy to use and the email verifications were lightning fast. THANK YOU! Cons The only thing I didn't like is that I didn't find you sooner! Review Source CJ Chris J. President Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Aplos Fund Accounting Review" October 13, 2016 4.0 Aplos Fund Accounting is a great tool for accounting, it might not be as well known as Quickbooks it packs a lot under its hood. Pros It offers the tools that I was looking for, cloud based, multiple collaborators and even donor information. Having it hosted removes the need for me or someone from my team to make sure it is always up to date and secure. Cons When I mentioned to our book keeper that I was looking into Aplos Fund Accounting she wasn't pleased as she was still learning quickbooks. Sometimes the name of the software can discourage people from moving forward. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
