MonkeyPod has grown with us over the last two years. We are beyond satisfied, as we've both been trained on the system and it's developments, and have felt heard when something wasn't working for us.

Pros

We love the complete integration of all of our back office functions and the continuous smart upgrades of MonkeyPod. We participate in the free training, and appreciate the generous follow-up individual support when needed.

Cons

We're a theatre and the integration with EventBrite isn't quite seamless yet and has no option to handle our subscription sales and disbursement; however, we do have confidence that as MonkeyPod continuously evolves, this will improve.

Response from MonkeyPod

Thanks Donna! We're so happy that MonkeyPod can support your work and help save you time. As you mentioned, we'll continue working to build out new features that make a difference for you and your team.

MonkeyPod Review

Reviewed on 30/03/2023

Not bad. Not fantastic either.

Not bad. Not fantastic either.

Pros

I really enjoyed how MonkeyPod was NPO centric, which made tagging income and expenses very easy and accessible unlike software like Quickbooks were "donations" have to be categorized as "sales".

Cons

Honestly, it just feels too early in development for my taste. Customer support doesn't seem to ever have a consistent answer for problems, promises aren't fulfilled, critical features like webhooks and native form integration just don't work for fiscal sponsor clients. It is really frustrating to talk to a representative and be promised something only to be emailed later and told that you have to make do because you're a fiscal sponsor client so you don't matter.

Alternatives Considered

QuickBooks Online

Reasons for Switching to MonkeyPod

It was included for free with our fiscal sponsorship.

Our experience overall has been very good. We are excited to use MonkeyPod and hope it will bring more organization and professionalism to our work!

Pros

I like that MonkeyPod connects so many programs in one place. That way we can have our information, emails, donor data, etc. all together.

Cons

The process to get everything set up is a bit overwhelming. If we didn't have a volunteer who knows about this type of integration helping us, I honestly don't know that we would've been able to do it.

Response from MonkeyPod

Thanks Krissy! We're excited to be supporting you and your team. We know learning a new system can be tough. We launched our new Onboarding Center to help folks get up and running smoothly.

Excellent. I was skeptical about changing accounting systems from Quickbooks to something less well known, but it has worked far better than I expected.

Pros

The customer service is better than excellent. The team is very responsive and easy to work with.

The ability to easily track restricted fund releases is also a huge time saver and major benefit for our Finance team.

Cons

There are some minor improvements to the UI that I would like to see, as well as a few other integrations I'm hopeful will be added.

Response from MonkeyPod

Thanks David! Our support team is the heart of MonkeyPod. From our free weekly Zoom drop-in hours to monthly webinars to help with data migrations and system configurations, they really do it all -- and they love to help!
