Accounting Seed vs Aplos Comparison

I would recommend this to any church that has been using other accounting software and has been having issues. This software is designed to make your life easier.

Pricing plans might not fit certain churches as 1 user is the cheaper plan.

Nothing to say. Dashboard is nice, if the data is correct and updated. Report lists looks good if it functions.

Ongoing problems, month after month, in many areas. Then the response time to get problems resolved is unacceptable and you are stuck in their hands until it works in their schedule. They have spent more time focusing on adding modules then on working the bugs out of what they already have. How disappointing. They could be a great fund accounting system if they didn't try to spread into areas they are not equipped in such as donor software. They develop updates and implement them without knowing how it could impact the user and the users data that is imported through an API. Just started with at at the beginning of 2017 and am already considering looking for another software.

Aplos accounting is great for non-profits like mine trying to navigate basic accounting information. Great interface and reports are typically what you're looking for.

Still can be buggy. Some of the information you input doesn't always match up.

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.

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.

Aplos is a new company that is in the process of moving into the accounting industry. Aplos is a membership company designed to help companies like yours manage their membership programs. Aplos offers a wide variety of solutions that can be customized to meet your company's needs.

Overall interface quality could be improved a bit, I didn't see any other problems.

Tons of features Easy to use for both accountants and non-accountants. Excellent price. Great support and customer service

None that I can find so far

The fund accounting product. It works well, but can use some more reporting flexibility

The CRM platform was added to this fund accounting system. Great idea, but obviously not designed by anyone that has actually done donor management. A good example is there is NOT an easy way to produce an acknowledgement letter for a donation or invoice(pledge) payment. CRM 101?

We made the transition from paper to online accounting via Aplos. It is very easy to make entries and retrieve reports, keep up with contributions and even church membership.

Users with little computer experience could be put off a bit but that would be the case with any online accounting system.

Thank you for the valuable review, Don! We appreciate the fact you're enjoying Aplos.

Aplos recently updated their software which made it more user friendly and improved the reporting side.

Aplos does not integrate with many vital accounting programs and required a lot of manual entry.

Ease of use Fund-based accounting Cloud-based design Scalable Excellent customer support

Wish it included payroll integration Would like to be able to customize reports more

User friendly, provides fund accounting, integrated online giving, and customer service is great.

I would like to see some more report features

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.

Haven't found anything yet. We do very basic stuff, and probably don't need a very complicated accounting system.

We started on Aplos for the accounting features. It was easy to setup and matched the way we did accounting at our church. It was easy to make entries, and record donations all in one place. Customer service was great.

Over time features were gradually removed or moved to higher and higher priced tiers. Budgets, have to pay more. Want more users pay more. More contacts pay more. They added more and more features that were of no use to our church and kept raising the cost.

I’m new to book keeping and this is so easy to use and the customer service is helpful.

Recently they changed their pricing which makes it more expensive.

Where can I start.... this software is designed for little experience in Fund Accounting or experienced people. We are a small organization and we have Benefitted Greatly. Covid has impacted the churches and Text to Give has helped us because Aplos stays on the cutting Edge with their software. I have enjoyed the classes that are Free with the software. I have also called their outstanding customer service and been helped with every issue. If you are looking at this as another expense..... you are Wrong this will be the BEST purchase you have made. I like being organized with Ministry financials and you can print off reports quickly for meetings.

I have nothing to say about this software but it is excellent

Aplos has a robust fund accounting system that allows organizations to track their income and expenses by fund, program, or project. This feature is essential for nonprofits that need to report on how their funds are being used.it allows organizations to track their donors and donations, create donation forms, and generate reports on their fundraising activities. This feature makes it easy for nonprofits to manage their fundraising efforts and build relationships with their donors.

Limited mobile app: While Aplos has a mobile app for iOS and Android devices, the app is limited in terms of features and functionality. Some users may find that they need to use the desktop version of Aplos to access all of the features they need.Aplos can be more expensive than some other accounting software options, particularly for smaller organizations.

This is a great fund raising and accounting software for the all non profit organisations and churches.

It is little expensive and also some one has to keep track of it. Some time the donor statement generations are issue too.

Comprehensive platform if you are looking to run accounting, donor management and prospecting, etc from one place

Heavy accounting focus and that isn't what we needed. No one contacted me by phone like other CRMs, so questioned their customer service.

The software is easy to use and not too expensive. Minimal accounting or bookkeeping experience is needed.

I saw the software worked great when our church was small. As it grew the amount of accounting required a program that could keep track of individual versus batch transactions.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

The management with this software it's absolutely useful and great, I really like the differents tools, the differents functionalities this software it's absolutely useful and it's easy to understand.

In some cases the software have some problems with the accounting tools and it may cause a problem, but are little problems.

Web based, true fund accounting, great customer service, the reports are easy to read and understand, everything is real time.

The only con I can think of is the reconciliation screen is not as customizable as I would have liked.

Comprehensive and easy to follow . . . but I have an advanced accounting background, so it may not be easy for some.

I have no cons at the moment. I have no "like least" comments.

It integrates donation management with accounting so I'm not having to use two systems. It's built specifically for non-profits.

I greatly dislike that I cannot have a desktop version because doing accounting transactions in a web-based portal means you have to be online and you need to prepare for each transaction to take a second to load. And they charge a premium to be able to access some functions that feel as basic as what is included in QuickBooks software.

Super easy to use, the reports are clean and not cluttered, it gives you confidence that your accounting is spot on!

Nothing. I have zero cons with using Aplos.
