Switching from Aplos to MosesTab

Church management with integrated giving and reporting

Most churches complete the switch in under 60 minutes; allow extra time if reconciling fund balances

What switching from Aplos looks like

Aplos describes itself as fund accounting software built for nonprofits and churches.
MosesTab is church management first, with integrated giving and finance reporting.
If your treasurer needs formal fund accounting (restricted and unrestricted balances, board-ready statements), keep Aplos for accounting and use MosesTab for everything else.

How to switch, step by step

1

Decide: full switch or hybrid?

If you need formal fund accounting, keep Aplos and run MosesTab for member, event and giving operations. Otherwise, move fully onto MosesTab.

2

Export contacts and giving from Aplos

In Aplos, open your Contact List, choose Actions and export to Excel. Convert the file to CSV for import.

3

Document your fund structure

If you're moving fully, note your fund structure so you can mirror it in MosesTab giving categories.

4

Import donors and giving history

Upload donor and giving CSVs into MosesTab.

Configure giving categories

Set up giving funds in MosesTab to mirror your previous fund structure.

6

Connect Stripe Connect

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I fully replace Aplos or run both?

If your treasurer prepares board-level financial statements with formal fund accounting, keep Aplos for accounting and use MosesTab for member, event and giving operations. If you mainly track giving and generate statements, MosesTab may cover your finance needs on its own.

Will giving statements be accurate?

Yes. Imported giving history shows on donor records and includes amount, date, and fund. Year-end statements include both pre-switch (imported from Aplos) and post-switch (native MosesTab) contributions.

Can MosesTab handle restricted vs unrestricted funds?

MosesTab supports designated giving categories which work like restricted funds for most churches. MosesTab does not replicate formal restricted/unrestricted fund balances at the general ledger level, so churches that need them often keep a dedicated fund-accounting tool alongside MosesTab.
