What is Aplos?

Aplos is cloud-based fund accounting software designed for nonprofits and churches, combining true fund accounting, donor and contact management, online giving, and budgeting in one platform. It generates board-ready, auditor-ready reports such as Income Statement by Fund and Balance Sheet by Fund that align with FASB and GAAP nonprofit standards, and every transaction ties to a specific fund for a permanent audit trail. Founded in 2009 in Fresno, California by Dan Kelly and CPA Tim Goetz, Aplos focuses on affordable, easy-to-use tools for smaller organizations.

Search-reported pricing (not independently confirmed against Aplos's own pricing page, which could not be fetched directly) lists a Lite plan around $79 per month for 2 users and 500 contacts, a Core plan around $129 per month adding recurring transactions, and an Advanced plan around $189 per month with fund-level budgeting and fixed asset tracking. A 15-day free trial is offered for Lite and Core with no credit card required.
