## Submittable Reviews
  ### 1. Streamlined Submission Management Made Easy

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Azeez A. | Director of Programs and Projects, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Submittable makes it easy to collect, manage, and review submissions in one place. Its intuitive interface, customizable forms, and collaborative review features simplify complex workflows and save time for both applicants and administrators.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

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.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable helps streamline the entire grant and application process by centralizing submissions, automating reviews, and enabling better team collaboration. It eliminates the need for manual tracking via spreadsheets or email chains, which has saved us time, reduced errors, and improved the experience for both reviewers and applicants.

  ### 2. Our Go-To Product for Applications

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2024

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

There is a lot of customization available for our Submittable projects which allow us to gather data and ask questions that will lead us to developing better programs for our applicants. It is also easy to navigate as a new user.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

There is a need for a more configured CRM and the lack of one really adds time to our workteam as we use a third-party software to coordinate with Submittable to get the information collection we need.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable is used for our applicants to submit their requests for funding through our grant opportunities. Internally, we can review and adapt our applications to best-fit the organizations we are working with. Submittable takes out the organization load that comes along with one-by-one application requests and allows us to categorize and project manage various applications at one time. We use this product for all our applications and also for data gathering.

  ### 3. Submittable is a powerful tool that streamlines our award management process.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

We love the "open editing" feature and the use of email templates to simplify and automate different review processes. The "randomize assignments" feature is also incredibly useful.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

There are a few features that I'd love to see added to Submittable in the future. I'd love it if the search filters were a little more robust. It would be incredibly useful to be able to create our own tiers that different screeners and readers belong to and to be able to search for all assignments ready to be assigned or currently assigned to a given tier. I would also love to be able to sort by submissions that have been rated by the reader currently assigned to it. Currently, the filter for completed review pulls all results that have been read/rated by anyone as opposed to results that have been rated only by those currently assigned to them.

It would also be more convenient to be able to request refunds independently via Submittable instead of submitting a request to billing via email.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our award has grown past the size that our team could comfortably manage without the assistance of some kind of software. Submittable is fulfilling that need for us and it also allows our readers to read remotely for the award. The amount of manuscripts that we are able to process with Submittable is far more than what we could do manually. We also appreciate that Submittable's platform is more convenient for many in the digital world we live in, which encourages our submitters to find and submit to us, expanding our reach to a broader audience.

  ### 4. Time saver!!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela T. | SEA, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Helped save time with grant applications and reviewing

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Not able to use search bar to search WITHIN the submissions

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Repository for grants, and axillary documentation

  ### 5. One system to handle all our submissions

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Writing and Editing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

A very easy to use system for customers and the staff team. Helps save us 100's of staff hours every year.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Would be great for people to make multiple entries more quickly

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A easy system for us customers to use and make the management of customer submissions quick and simple

  ### 6. Efficient and Clear

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Submittable is really simple to use. Efficient and extremely clear.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

When reviewing applications there are often small technical issues like if you click on a video to begin watching and try to expand it, it will automatically close the entire video.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reviewing large quantites of grants efficiently.

  ### 7. It's great for what we need!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Submittable is used to house all of our applications and is the reviewing process of our annual cycle. For what we need, it fits us perfectly! I am able to change and update the applications and items on the fly as needed. I can even walk my reviewers through simple technical help myself.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Some of the updates have reset my settings without my knowledge. I've only found out when something stopped working correctly and had to troubleshoot. Also, not knowing the pricing and setting up the pricing is quite agravating.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All of the data gathered in the applications is easy to download in a spreadsheet. Which in turn saves me so much time. Everything is completely customizable! Without having to contact anyone else, it saves me time and quite a bit of money. Our review process can take place on the platform as well, and with three reviewers to an application, it can be a bit to handle.

  ### 8. Workflow for managing prof dev requests

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

We use it as a workflow for managing prof dev requests. It is helpful to be able to make edits to the application or configuration rather than having to go through local IT.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

We are not able to sort at a more granular level RE: status completion of some of our additional forms. The report export function is also not very intuitive. It offers many options but after much tinkering,  they don't produce the desired results. We will likely need to purchase dedicated programming time from Submittable support to get customized report exports that work for is.
Also, we have several separate licenses in offices across our larger organization, and it would be great if, taken together, we were able to receive an additional org-level discount based on the total accounts/business we have with Submittable.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has provided us a more modern application format with strong workflow, but certain features (like reporting)  are still not ideal.

  ### 9. Submittable

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

I like that everything is accesible and you can keep organized records.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

There is a learning curve to work with Submittable.  At first is not that easy.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps us to create a file for each student we have and continue adding forms to the specific students.

  ### 10. Submittable Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Noah P. | Digital Communications Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Easily collaboration between applicants and our team.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Still a lack of customization in a lot of areas

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable is helping my organization stay organized a efficient

  ### 11. Experience is good.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Neringa J. | Senior project manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Easy form building, application collection and reports generation, convenient display of sent additional forms in the applications.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

1. Deleting one by one created additional forms - it would be easier to select some and delete them altogether.
2. "The delete function will remove the label from all applications and delete the label." - when there are many labels, it would be more convenient if deleting labels in Configurations would not delete labels in archived applications (for the audit trail).
3. Inconvenient tool for evaluation of applications. Our application evaluation sheets are more complex than the Review Form Tools proposed for evaluation. We could solve this problem via the Excel table inserted in the Review Form, however, it is inconvenient that the Excel table cannot be formatted according to our needs.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable eased collection and registration of project applications, as well as preparation of received application reports.

  ### 12. A submission form with lots of options

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Submittable allows for one to create submission forms with an easy builder. It also helps tracks the submissions internally so we know who has submitted and who hasn't. It also allows for mutliple users and assignments so that each form can go to a specific user and not everyone needs to be notified. The forced account system also allows for a submitter to track their submission an see it sit in a draft stage and not submitted state.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

All my submission forms are searchable through google. Some of them are private forms that only those who have the link to submit on but there are many others trying to use the form. A lot of users that we ask for submissions also complain on the fact you need to create an account in order to make a submission. While it's extremely helpful, there should be an option that allows for submissions without creating an account for these. It also intimidates our non tech savvy users.

Some time last year, submittable also stopped allowing us to see all the submissions of.a particular submission form at once. You will need to user filters if you want the same effect.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable helps us collect information that we need. With it, we can collect information and data we request of from our selective users. The designed form also allows us to put as much information we need to prevent the FAQ that often happens.

  ### 13. Submittable makes applying easier for our grantees and for the foundation.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2022

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

I appreciate the ability to assign proposals to our reviewers and for them to see all of the submitted materials for each applicant.  I can track who has started to work on their proposal review and they can also see our clarifying correspondence with the applicant in real time.  The application building process helps us design an application that makes sense to our grantees and eases their burden in applying.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

As with any software updates, it has taken a while to get use to the new Submittable platform changes but in the end, it is worth it.  We can now link forms (for example, a final report form) to an application so everything is one place.  I think customer support was overwhelmed with the changeover and it took a while for them to reply for help requests.  I wish you can have a more direct help line without paying a premium.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have really expanded what we use Subnmittable for -- applications for training as well as grants, site visit reports, final reports.  The more we use it, the more cost-effective it becomes although the price has jumped up in the past few years.  Especially while we are all working remotely, being able to collaborate and review applications online has made the administrative load easier and is also easier for our board/reviewers to get everything they need in one place.

  ### 14. Director

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Easy to see other peoples feedback. I like that I can compare scores. I appreciate the way scoring works as well to create some uniformity across scores.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Not very intuitive to navigate. Could have a better user experience. I needed a training to understand how to use submittable, it would benefit people to be able to understand the program by exploring on their own.

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

I would just advise a brief orientation with all folks who are using the software

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Trying to review grants and have them easily assigned to different review committee members. Beneficial to have the proposals easily downloadable or viewed in the program.

  ### 15. Works for small foundations

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

I like the fact that there are many colleagues that are already familiar with the software.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Some of the review processes are clunky and convoluted. Wish the submission screens were more user friendly for review purposes.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submittable is keeping us from having to review applicants in printed form and allowing a larger applicant pool to submit applications.

  ### 16. Simple and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

It is easy to search for submissions and create lists once you get the hang of the system. Although a simpler program than others out there to manage grants, I found that the benefits of the simplicity were that I was able to handle a lot of the back-end changes myself.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

You have to pay extra to speak to customer service reps, and only a few emails are included in the base plan. The layout of the program could use a designer to help make it a bit more user-friendly. You can tell that the IT department came up with a lot of the layout; some do not make sense in the location to access specific functions.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were trying to manage a first-time grants program for a company foundation. We needed something that we could easily create proposal forms and organize on the back-end.

  ### 17. Good tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carla B. | Business Manager -Texas Projects, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Ability to track project tasks and status with collaboration

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

It is only as good as it's programmers and staff that monitor it

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Submission not going through. Lag time between submission and confirmation

  ### 18. Bright Funds is a great platform for volunteer management

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alyssa B. | Learning and Organizational Development Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2021

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Donor/User experience is great and database is pretty extensive.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

If you do donor matching, there is a significant lag to get funds into the hands of nonprofits. The technical support has been limited.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This program was derived for employee engagement - we have seen minimal tangible benefits. Internal engagement has been limited in the platform- though I don't think that reflects on the platform, it's just a challenge we've run into.

  ### 19. Hands on service, but expensive

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

service is amazing. I appreciate the set up help.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

cost is prohibitive for smaller organizations.

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

Do not attempt to create as you learn. Learn first to avoid needing to redo or fix. Allow plenty of time for this learning.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem of savable accounts to submit and also to review is a big problem solved! The benefits are that I can use this service for more than my one initial project, it's a good fit for another as well. The ability to run reports is helpful as well.

  ### 20. Helped significantly streamline our grant operations!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mayra L. | V, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

The ability to have multiple contributors/ participants reviewing and scoring applications.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

The user experience still feels a bit clunky.

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

SPend some time thinking through how you intend to use it for the long haul. The upfront planning investment pays off.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Improved team collaboration and streamlined review process. All applications in one place.

  ### 21. Great customer support.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David L. | Chapter Field Representative II, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

If Cynthia Underhill were the one representative I worked with, I would rate WizeHive Zengine 10/10. She was a fantastic assistant!

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Some of the other employees lacked any sort of response when we would ask questions.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have implemented this solution for all of our flight training and post-secondary scholarships. The specific program I use the platform for a new program that required vetting of local chapters, and then vetting of their nominated scholar. We also require multiple progress checks along the way. We are currently creating an API between WizeHive and our CRM Aptify. This tie will greatly improve the efficiency of our programs and tracking. This track will eventually lead to more in-depth studies of the flight training process.

  ### 22. I have used it for grants administration for The Lenfest Institute for Journalism.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

I like that you can message with grantees all in one place.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

I dislike that there are sometimes bugs and glitches in the system which affect our conversations with grantees.

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

If there is a very complicated review process for the grant program you are rolling out there may be a better option for you.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Submittable for all of our application processes for every single grantee. It's great that everything can be one one place, that we can easily label things, and have all communication with the grantees in the same place.

  ### 23. Wizehive always responds to my requests for help, and continue to help me until I find the solution.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Ability to build databases and export to get a report. Dashboards.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

It has no user-friendly front end, so users who are not familiar with data entry find it challenging to get their heads around how the linked forms work.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have managed to combine a series of processes into one workspace.

  ### 24. Okay, but needs more forms options

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Ability to have multiple levels of access

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Costly and for a small organization it may not be affordable

Access issues especially if people change email passwords for their staff

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2020

keeping track of user progress in each area

some lack of customization in how pages are displayed

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

processing applications, requests, and other organizational activities

  ### 26. Is way better than what we were using previously!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

the ability to easily see applications as they come in and edit them as needed

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

there are certain limitations that hinder our ability to be as effective as we would like and some processes are somewhat complicated to complete

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

make sure to do a lot of testing and trials before you go live!

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

better connection to applicants and more visibility of applications

  ### 27. Submittable for Events

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2020

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

The ease of creating my own format and my own control over the formatting and editing.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

The price - Submittable used to be monthly per users, but the rate is a flat rate now.

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used Submittable for a business pitch competition - the application and review segments.

  ### 28. Great grant management software

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Auto email/bulk email feature makes it easy to notify applicants. Application forms are easy to update. Can perform an entire review process through WizeHive without much need from an outside source. Convenient place to keep track of records of applicants and reviewers. Also helpful with creating registration forms for events.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

Somewhat challenging to navigate. Needs more help options and tutorials to make the user experience much easier. Still some bugs that need to be fixed (including some issues with a few of the filters in application forms).

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

If you are needing to collect and save a lot of data from grant applicants and reviewers, this is a great system to use. There are so many functions that can be utilized to maximize the grant review experience, and the support team is always helpful with answering any questions you may have about any step. 

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Planning on upgrading to a submission portal next year which will allow even greater ability to perform a multi-step application process, save user profiles, and allow easy follow-up with grant recipients in order to collect final reports.

  ### 29. A major time-saver and great resource at our new play development org.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Performing Arts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2018

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

Submittable can instantaneously assign plays at random to each reader participating in our multi-step process, a task that used to require weeks of tedious work from our artistic staff. For our applicants, Submittable affords them the opportunity to review and revisit and change their applications. (With our previous platform, LiteraryManager.org, applicants couldn't go back or change their information or materials without compromising the integrity of our anonymous review process). 			

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

There have been some kinks to iron out as we have grown used to the new system, but we have benefitted from prompt user support from the Submittable team.	

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Submittable to manage our open submission process for new plays, which is used by at least 700 playwrights each year. We also use it for our readers of submissions, which makes this process much more efficient.

  ### 30. Wizehire application manager

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

The fact that they offer a customized application online and I can build my own application forms and follow up.

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

They have to improve on their features such as the calender and cascading form and also logining for applicant every year

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have been able to manage my scholarship and grant application and create reports

  ### 31. Streamlines our Grant Management Process

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura A. | Assessment Lead, Physician Performance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2017

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

WizeHive is responsive to our requests and has built an online portal that meets our needs for calls for proposals. 

**What do you dislike about Submittable?**

It did take a significant amount of time to get set up and running. We moved from a manual, paper- and email-based process so staff, reviewers and applicants also needed time to get used to the new system. 

**Recommendations to others considering Submittable:**

We found the WizeHive team to be responsive. We're happy with the portals they've developed for our small (but mighty) organization. 

**What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our call for proposal process is more efficient and works better for our reviewers and staff. Now that we have an online system, grant recipients will not have to fill out the same sections on more than one form. We will save a lot of time and effort in our reporting period!

  ### 32. Excellent Mulit-Use Software

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2017

**What do you like best about Submittable?**

The user interface (for submitters); the ability to sort and respond to submissions in bulk

I wish that accepting/declining individual submissions and switching between them was a little bit quicker.

A lot of submissions to sort through, a minority of which are up to our (stated) standards for proposals. But Submittable has yielded some quality and helpful submissions, which has made the experience worthwhile.
