Dual Director, Advocacy and Grants Management Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees Used the software for: Less than 6 months ** Overall Rating 5.0 ** Ease of Use 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 Features 4.0 Value for Money 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 90% 9/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra June 10, 2026 "Catching Up to Current Grants Management Practices is Simple with Instrumentl" **Overall:** From learning about the product from a company rep to implimentation and staff training, the Instrumentl team has been there, approachable, and easy to work with. We have had suggestions and questions from the start and they've listened, followed-up and followed through. As the only person in our 250+ staff organization who's roles specifically includes grants management, a system like this is vital to success. I've been able to narrow the time it takes for management, research, submission, and reporting by more than half. The cost of the system has already been covered through additional grants found and won through the Instrumentl system. **Pros:** There is so much to like, but I think the usability of the system is what sold us. Adding in our organizational data was easy, training staff to use the system quick, and understanding and utilizing the features daily a no-brainer. We have for so many years relied on disconnected and antiquated processes for grants management and frankly, couldn't continue on that path. Insturmentl helped us get caught up so seamlessly and has worked through all of the questions, barriers, and bumps along the way. **Cons:** some limitations such as currently no interface with our accounting software. There are some features we'd love to see, but also know that improvements to the system as always on-going, including adding more accounting software and productivity platforms everyday. **Alternatives Considered:** [Sage Intacct](https://www.capterra.com/p/76/Intacct/) and [Good Grants](https://www.capterra.com/p/206672/Good-Grants/) **Reasons for Choosing Instrumentl:** We looked at a ton of systems but only a few really met the full spectrum of needs. We needed research, writing, tracking, reporting, management, and budget pieces and so few grantee systems are out there. Most were for grantors. **Switched From:** [GEMS Grant Easy Management Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/264602/GEMS-Grant-Easy-Management-Software/) **Reasons for Switching to Instrumentl:** Instrumentl was far more intiutive in design. It also included grants research and writing support. Uploading documents and information was much easier with Instrumentl. Vendor Response By Instrumentl on June 12, 2026 Hi Caroline, Thank you so much for this review and for sharing details about your experience. It really means a lot to our team! Cutting grants management time by more than half as a team of one supporting a 250+ person organization is no small thing. That's exactly the kind of impact we're building towards, and we're so glad Instrumentl has been a reliable partner through that transition. The accounting software integration is great feedback. It's something the team is actively working to expand. Really appreciate your patience there, and your confidence that we'll get there. Thanks again for trusting us with something so central to your work. We don't take that lightly! Callie S. Owner, Grant Writer Fund-Raising, Self-employed Used the software for: 6-12 months ** Overall Rating 5.0 ** Ease of Use 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 Features 5.0 Value for Money 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 90% 9/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra February 3, 2026 "Instrumentl Makes My Work a Pleasure" **Overall:** Overall, Instrumentl is one of the reasons I have joy as a grant writer. It makes my job easy with verbal and visual information arranged in a very appealing and accessible interface. I recommend everyone make this one of the tools you work into your budget. **Pros:** My most favorite things about Instrumentl is the ease of the interface. I can easily and quickly find everything I want to know about the grant opportunity, the foundation’s patterns of giving, and why my client was matched to this grant or foundation. I love the comprehensiveness of the database. I can be confident that Instrumentl will ALWAYS find something for me to analyze — whether it’s a grant match or a foundation match that I can look into. Additionally, I can get help on anything. If I can’t find it in the written explanations, there’s a video to watch or I can get quick assistance in a chat. I love that I can allow my team to be core users and have their own login and password, too. It means they can operate independently. This is very important with how I run my business. The convenience of uploading my award letters and having them scoured by the AI feature was AMAZING! I was able to run a report and have every bit of info in a spreadsheet that could be sent to stakeholders. It was fantastic! I LOVE Instrumentl! **Cons:** I have to be my pettiest self to name anything I don’t like about Instrumentl. I wish my core users weren’t able to see each other’s projects. I assume anyone on there is too busy doing their thing to mess with other peoples’ stuff, but it makes me uneasy. (This is an included feature if/ when I move to the next Consultant level…) Sometimes, the effectiveness of the matching is a little overwhelming (really large numbers of matches), but that just means I get to hone the search even more when the results are too expansive. The price is a little high, but I have to believe that I will eventually make the money back because of how well I will be able to serve my clients with this tool… Vendor Response By Instrumentl on February 18, 2026 Hi Callie, Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed feedback, it truly means a lot to our team! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying Instrumentl, especially the ease of the interface, the depth of the database, and the ability to quickly understand funder patterns and match reasoning. Hearing that Instrumentl brings you joy as a grant writer is one of the highest compliments we could receive. :) As for the number of matches, if you ever want help tightening search criteria, we’d love to support you. Thank you again for such a generous recommendation. It means so much to us that Instrumentl is part of your workflow and your success. If there’s ever anything we can do to make your experience even better, we're here for you. ~Stef [Read All 185 Reviews](https://www.capterra.com/p/233384/Instrumentl/reviews/) ## How should I be thinking about software pricing?
