Sound familiar?
Arts organizations deserve better than spreadsheets and overpriced enterprise software.
Drowning in Spreadsheets
Manually tracking submissions in spreadsheets leads to missed deadlines, lost files, and endless email chains with applicants.
Enterprise Tools, Enterprise Prices
Platforms like Submittable charge $10,000+/year — pricing built for large institutions, not community arts organizations.
Scattered Review Process
Collecting reviewer feedback via email or shared docs creates version control nightmares and delays decision-making.
No Branded Communication
Generic acceptance and rejection emails undermine your organization's professionalism and relationship with applicants.
Everything you need to manage applications
A complete toolkit built for arts organizations — not enterprise software bolted onto a generic platform.
Drag-and-Drop Form Builder
Create custom application forms with 12 field types including file uploads, budget tables, and rich text. Build multi-step wizards in minutes — no coding required.
Review Workflows
Invite reviewers, assign them to programs, and collect structured scores (0–10), notes, and recommendations. Blind review supported.
Decision Letters
Generate branded acceptance and rejection letters as PDFs with mail-merge from application data. Send directly by email from your dashboard.
Analytics Dashboard
Track submission volumes, review completion rates, and decision outcomes. Understand your program at a glance with clear, actionable metrics.
Multi-Program Management
Run multiple programs simultaneously under one organization. Each program has its own form, deadline, reviewer pool, and submission inbox.
Affordable Pricing
Starting at $29/mo with no per-submission fees. Designed specifically for arts organizations and nonprofits with constrained budgets.

“We switched from Submittable and our monthly cost dropped by 90%. We get all the features we actually need without paying for enterprise bloat.”

Applly is an affordable application management platform built specifically for arts organizations and nonprofits. It lets you create programs with custom application forms, receive and organize submissions, coordinate reviewer panels, and send decision letters — all in one place.
Applly is purpose-built for smaller arts organizations and nonprofits that need professional application management without enterprise pricing. Our Starter plan begins at $29/month (versus Submittable's $500+/month). We focus on the features you actually use: custom forms, reviewer management, and decision letters — without the bloat.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processor. Annual billing is available with a 15% discount. For Enterprise plans, we can also arrange invoicing.
Absolutely. Applly includes a full drag-and-drop form builder with 12 field types: text, textarea, email, number, date, dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, multi-select, file uploads, rich text, and budget tables. You can create multi-step forms and organize fields into logical sections.
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We use Supabase (Postgres) with row-level security policies ensuring applicants can only ever see their own submissions. File uploads are stored in encrypted object storage. We never share or sell your data or your applicants' data.
Sign up for a free account, create your organization, and build your first program in minutes. Our form builder is intuitive — most organizations have their first program live within an hour. No training or onboarding calls required (though we're happy to help).
Starter plans include email support with responses within 2 business days. Professional plans include priority email support (same business day). Enterprise plans include a dedicated account manager and phone/video support. We also maintain comprehensive documentation and help articles.
