The cost is very affordable compared to other products. The customer service and technical support are outstanding.

I enjoyed the fact that it was user friendly. I enjoyed the affordable monthly fees based of organization size.

I like the fact it is cloud based, so I can take it with me anywhere. It's more affordable versus other offerings.

It is easy to use and understand. Budgeting was a useful feature and transferring between various accounts was easy.

It's perfect  for international fundraising, easy to use and very user-friendly, affordable, good customer support and quite reliable.

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

I was not around for implementation so I am unsure if the problems were the Aplos or GVC team related. Now I understand the software, it is critical to plan the uses than implement.

Other software was somewhat disappointing - hasn't always worked correctly and a bit confusing on how it integrates with Aplos.

I am still learning but the software helps provide great clarity for the management of account of our church.

I also find reporting to be a bit confusing. It is not intuitive...it sometimes takes several steps (that are not obvious) to get the report I need.

I love the updated dashboard and the charts you can see with the finances.

Best Fund Accounting Software for Small Non-Profit Organization.

Some times I get lost in all of the reports because there are so many.

Aplos has very strong and responsive support team which I think is a plus for users to search for a good software.

Aplos has always be very responsive to any inquires.

This software has a long way to go before it can compete with alternatives whose bank integrations are solid and reliable.

Easy to use and good price for what you're getting.

Overall, I would recommend this software to others ten-fold. It very organized and I love the click down options.

On some clients, the WePay feature is great for online donations going right into Aplos. I love being able to message Aplos right from the client's account with questions.

The WePay integration is phenomenal. And, although I haven't used it yet, the event management aspect will save us time and money.

I love the ability to due true fund balance accounting. For years I used Peachtree with job costs and spreadsheets to accomplish.

Third, I get lots of complaints from customers about the transaction errors which make it hard to give.

I hate that I have reconnect my bank account on a monthly basis.

I struggled to get a functional income statement by fund. Also, tracking purposes for audits, it didn't really track unrestricted, temp restricted, or perm restricted very well.

User friendly and strong support team with an immediate response and assistance.

The customer service is shockingly amazing. I requested one payment refund after not using it in over a year and it was super quick and easy.

Great presentation aesthetics. Great tips on use and preparation.

I am very happy with this product and highly recommend to everyone to give it a try.

Live Plan was perfect for my needs - it helped me shape my strategic plan and think through my start-up capital requirements and revenue projections.

Customer service is excellent, I was able to reach someone immediately when calling.

The templates were also very helpful to show me what a plan should look like.

Integration with my online accounting software was pretty helpful too.

I recommended it it to several prospective bakery owners as a well-priced tool to start turning their dream into a viable business reality.

Easy to use online and has a very good technical support. It is great that they keep your files or give files to you if you decided to cancel the account, that made me trust LivePlan more.

I got stuck at the beginning a little bit with the various summaries.

I really like all the integrated charts and graphs to help me clearly envision the current status of my financial goals.

I really appreciated how easy it was to project the impact of the decisions we were considering. It made planning my business's growth intuitive.

I really like this software because of the features it has and it's price.

It was a great experience with LivePlan. They have a clean and attractive user interface with helpful guidance.

I loved that it gave me some industry benchmarks and suggested budget items (like employee payroll liabilities) I hadn't thought of.

It made using the review feature (to compare projections with performance) more difficult to use.

Warning, If you sign in you will not be able to cancel your service.

Unfortunately it is limited to that time frame which disappoints because other than the time frame, just about everything else is customizable.

Live Plan gives you a good look, at the viability, of a business opportunity. I have used it several different time to help make sound business decisions.

This software was amazing for my initial business planning phase.

Business plan preparation can be overwhelming; however, LivePlan made it easy to build and update our vision and communicate with relative ease.

Overall, i was able to put my business idea on paper and see exactly what the budget and funding looks like. It really helped me decide whether or not the business idea was worth pursuing.

I like the ease of use, support and the step by step process.

The experience was productive and the software is great.

Very useful in planning, pitching and eventually starting my business. It supported every element from ideation through to detailed p&l & balance sheet for presentation to investors.
