Submittable Reviews & Product Details

Submittable has proven to be an exceptionally user-friendly platform for both our artists and grant applicants, who consistently report that the submission process is clear, intuitive, and stress-free. Our independent review committees appreciate having streamlined access to their assigned applications and find the scoring interface especially helpful, since they can view the full application and rubric side-by-side. The platform makes it significantly easier and faster for our team to create new projects, track submissions, and manage workflows. Customer service is excellent -- responsive, supportive, and solutions-oriented. Submittable also provides improved data access and reporting tools that help us evaluate impact and make stronger decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting tools, although much better than before, can still feel limited when attempting highly detailed or multi-layered data pulls. Occasionally, updates introduce small changes that require adjustment or retraining for staff. Additionally, affordability can be a challenge for small nonprofits like ours; although the platform is highly effective, the cost can feel difficult to sustain within a modest operating budget.

I used Submittable for a few years at my last organization, and have since got my new employer to start using it. I find it incredibly user friendly (for both admin and front end users) and value the workflow and reporting I can track all in one place! I can quickly and easily put projects together, assign jurors, and analyze results. I really enjoy that everything is kept together for each submission - I do not have to hunt down forms or notes or images; it is a one stop shop from start to finish. I have used this platform for exhibition submissions, grant applications, retail events, and so much more for our non-profit arts organization. The platform is intuitive, even for those who do not consider themselves computer-savvy. Customer support is always great too, they have a wonderful team on staff.

I struggle to identify downsides. There are a few features I look forward to in the future such as token integration within some form questions, but it really covers my needs well as is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Submittable has excellent customer service. I've experienced it as an administrator, working with a dedicated Submittable staff member to set up our organization's program (an application for a fellowship) and throughout administration of the program. I always received quick, thorough responses via their chat or email customer service. Often, I could find the answers to my questions in their online library of "how-to" articles. This allowed me to use Submittable effectively and confidently.

Their customer service extended to applicants/fellows, meaning that I did not need to answer their questions but, rather, they could contact Submittable and receive a quick, accurate response.

I used Submittable daily to create an application and administer the program, throughout the application selection rounds and with the chosen applicants, who became members of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Submittable reports export only to .csv or Excel files well. They do not export well to PDF in that you cannot modify what information is/is not exported to the PDF. Since applications in Submittable can include personally identifying information or details beyond what you need in the PDF, not being able to modify what is pulled from the platform into the PDF is an issue. Also, the PDF has the Submittable logo at the top, not your organization's, so it cannot be used externally. The ease of integrating Submittable with Adobe Acrobat can therefore be improved.

While the platform is very functional, some advanced customization options require extra effort or support from the Submittable team. Reporting features could be more flexible, and the pricing can become steep for larger programs or growing teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
