Aplos Pricing Reviews
I love that I can complete our annual e-file registration for our ministry with a simple click. In most other applications, there is usually a cost to file with other applications or they don't offer it.
I don't particularly appreciate that they use wepay to collect donations. I think that there are better banking options that are avaialble to collect donations and that end-user will feel more comfortable using
I don't have any problems withj Aplos, the software works great for us and reporting is very easy. I do wish that we the EOY letters, that we were able to see who opened the documents.
I find myself recommending Aplos to many different organizations. The 2 best qualities of Aplos over other accounting solutions are its simplicity of use and its excellent customer service.
In my humble opinion, I believe that some of the features included in the highest monthly fee should be included in a lower tier. It seems crazy to have an almost $80 jump just to be able to pull budget reports by fund, especially since this can be accomplished through an excel export followed up by deleting a few rows. Budget reporting by fund should be included in all tiers as this is a basic nonprofit need.
Aplos solves the problem of multiple people needing to touch the same data and interact with it. It is far easier to delegate and sign roles. The help videos are instructive in getting someone off the ground in working with it as well. And, if they have any issues, there is an incredibly easy way to get a hold of help.
I am currently responsible for the books at a small Nonprofit. I have used Quickbooks, Quicken, Microsoft Money, Corporate ERP level accounting software and Excel in the past to manage finances. When I took over the books for the Nonprofit, the accounting was managed in Excel. My first thought was to look at converting to Quickbooks for Nonprofits. I looked at several other web only accounting packages as well. After researching the options and price I decided to try the free trial with Aplos. The setup was a breeze and the support videos and educational information made the setup smooth. I like working with real people when I need help with software. I was pleasantly surprised that built into the system was a support messaging system that allowed me to see portrait sketches or real images of the support team and their names. I could send a question right in the interface and they would respond right back in the messaging window. It is the best implementation of support I have ever seen and has made Aplos one of my favorite companies and systems to work with. We have been using the software for over a year and just filed the Federal Tax 990N through the software. It was fast and easy! The different modules can be turned on and off with a flip of a switch and billed accordingly. This allowed us to start with accounting and eventually we added the donor relations and donations portions of the software. We have found the tools for these sections to be just as clean and easy to use as the accounting portion of the software. They have made many updates to the software over the last year and the product keeps getting better. I would recommend any small Nonprofit or Church to try this product!
It would be nice to have more ways to do batch jobs and more flexibility in group updates to contacts. Last I checked if you have an organization that you want to assign an individual to donor relations and manage donations they need 2 logins with unique email addresses. It would be nice to have the option to give both roles to one individual with one login.
Am a volunteer for a small non-profit. I needed a simple solution to manage the finances and maintain transparency with the non-profit. The benefits are the software is very quick to set up and has a very clean interface that allows for quick communication of where the non-profit finances stand. When there are questions the customer service is the BEST I have ever experienced. They answer the questions in a support window as you are working with the software to apply the instructions.
I love the simplicity of the software and the excellent support for the few times we've needed their assistance. I also appreciate the fact I can access the software when I'm away from my office or traveling. The reports are excellent and can be custom formatted for our use. I'm also appreciative of the fact they are responsible for our data backups and security.
I guess I could complain about the pricing, but you get what you pay for.
We are a church, and have multiple funds that we need to track in great detail and Aplos allows us to do that. It gives us the necessary tools to give a thorough accounting for our annual meeting.
Love that it is pure fund accounting, wherein the prior system it was set up as a liability account, not an equity account. Simple. Plus, with the SaaS environment, not software to buy. Cost is different treatment, but simple. I love the customization and look forward to getting the membership and giving converted over as they were not in scope.
So far haven't noticed a significant feature that is missing. Implementation took a little bit longer but was solved.
Better use of volunteer times as they cut hours of data entry in the prior system. I am looking forward to seeing the additional reports.
Easy to use, easy for non-computer people to use, quick response to support questions, great support.
Per user cost is way high. Particularly for occasional users like counters or others who might use it just once or twice per month.
Manage our church finances. Does a great job.
Tracking and reporting fund activity has been made incredibly easy by an innovative development team. Support is quick and understandable. Aplos representatives are both competent and friendly.
Sometimes requests for new features are a little slow in development.
The need for reliable accounting data. High quality reports, Fund are easily tracked. Cost is reasonable.
