Great for our small Condo Association
They are incredibly responsive, and when we initially set up the Accounts, they spent the time with me to help set us up based on our needs.
Pros
Bank Integration is a huge benefit. As the Treasurer of a small condominium association (volunteer job), I only need to spend a couple of hours a month on our financials. Running reports for our condo meetings and taxes is a breeze.
Cons
Its not completely made for condo association accounting, but we've been able to retrofit our needs. Funds doesn't exactly translate to the accounts we track, as we really do have 3 separate bank accounts. This requires an extra step in our monthly recons, but its not awful.

Aplos is a great tool for Non Profits!
We are MUCH more efficient since we started using Aplos. It is so much easier to do every single function in the company now, and we can each look up information with no difficulty.
Pros
I enjoy the ease of use of Aplos more than anything.
Cons
No Auction site management system incorporated
Reasons for choosing Aplos
Because of the incredible customer service, ease of use, and ability to customize to our needs.
Reasons for switching to Aplos
Because we were all losing valuable time trying to figure it out and there was no tech support available for a reasonable price.

Very Difficult and Complicated, With Poor Tech Support
Not good. I need help, and the support never provides help that works.
Pros
Had potential for non-profits vs QuickBooks
Cons
Bank integration does not work. I've used QuickBooks for non-profits, with integration that works fine. In Aplos, what shows up in Aplos doesn't match what the banks say. Tech support answers fairly quickly, however, they come up with all kinds of solutions that don't work. And different people will offer a different solution. None of them work. Then they drop it leaving me hanging. I may go back to QuickBooks which once you get a few words down (business terms vs non-profit) it is actually quite easy, and more dependable.
Reasons for choosing Aplos
I believed the Aplos advertising, and the trial offer of a low price.
Reasons for switching to Aplos
I believed the Aplos advertising that their app is so much better. It isn't.
Response from Aplos
Hi William! Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you've had concerning bank integration. You also mentioned using QuickBooks instead, so if you don't mind I'll briefly speak to both. QuickBooks creates and maintains its own bank integration feature, whereas Aplos has a partnership with Plaid and Finicity, which are industry leaders in the space. Plaid and Finicity both connect with the financial institutions and pass the information back to Aplos. We have very little control over the information received. However, we do have a great relationship with both partners, and consistently work with them on improving the experience for our customers. As for using QuickBooks, this may be a better fit if you do not need Fund Accounting and donor management. Our Customer Success Director, Alex Acree, will be reaching out personally to help troubleshoot the bank integration issues you're seeing. If you have any other questions or feedback please let us know.

An excellent accounting program for Churches!
Pros
I have been using Quickbooks for our church for many years. It does not handle funds accounting or tracking of giving very well. I was so happy to have found Aplos! It is a true funds accounting program and tracks giving seamlessly! It is a robust program that I believe excels where Quickbooks falls behind. I highly recommend it!
Cons
No real cons so far. When members split their giving between multiple purposes, I'd like to be able to add them without having to add another row.
Reasons for choosing Aplos
Aplos is a much more robust funds accounting program than Churchtrac.
Reasons for switching to Aplos
Quickbooks is not a true funds accounting program
