Pros

“In addition to a solid database ShelbyNext has a robust groups feature that really is the hallmark of this software.”
MS

Matthew S.

Pastor

“I used ShelbyNext at my previous church.”
NT

Nathaniel T.

Associate Pastor

“For that you would need to upgrade to the pricier Shelby Arena.”

Pros

“The search functionality within registries is excellent, and I really appreciate being able to click on a transaction and open up multiple new tabs under the same registry.”
JE

Justice E.

Strategic Development Coordinator

“We can manage multiple different accounts under one host account, filter by different funds, and access operations.”

“They did, however, in the 3-4 years we used Aplos, like many CRMs, I imagine, switch from live human chat support to AI chat support, and email human support.”

Cons

“The mobile experience is less than great.”

“There are no options for managing volunteers and planning.”

“The group communication was the biggest downfall of our Small Groups pastor. ”

Cons

“The person who followed up indicated that my phone apparently has spam blockers and was not able to connect via phone and never tried to reach out via the way the chat indicated (email) until 6 days later. How their customer service gets high ratings is beyond me. When we originally implemented the system we had the same long lag in response time and they indicated they've had unusually high call volumes...if that were the case a year ago and still the case today I would STRONGLY suggest hiring more support persons.”
GW

Greg W.

Volunteer

“Some functions have caused manual input where we once had automation and we have to lgo in and out of the merger products to get work done.”
NL

Natalie L.

Director of Communications and Events

“APLOS prides in being the number #1 church accounting software. But it's donation (main revenue for a church) processing system is terrible. ”
