I can easily and quickly find everything I want to know about the grant opportunity, the foundation’s patterns of giving, and why my client was matched to this grant or foundation. I love the comprehensiveness of the database. I can be confident that Instrumentl will ALWAYS find something for me to analyze — whether it’s a grant match or a foundation match that I can look into. Additionally, I can get help on anything. If I can’t find it in the written explanations, there’s a video to watch or I can get quick assistance in a chat. I love that I can allow my team to be core users and have their own login and password, too. It means they can operate independently. This is very important with how I run my business. The convenience of uploading my award letters and having them scoured by the AI feature was AMAZING\! I was able to run a report and have every bit of info in a spreadsheet that could be sent to stakeholders. It was fantastic\! I LOVE Instrumentl\! > > **Cons**: I have to be my pettiest self to name anything I don’t like about Instrumentl. I wish my core users weren’t able to see each other’s projects. I assume anyone on there is too busy doing their thing to mess with other peoples’ stuff, but it makes me uneasy. (This is an included feature if/ when I move to the next Consultant level…) Sometimes, the effectiveness of the matching is a little overwhelming (really large numbers of matches), but that just means I get to hone the search even more when the results are too expansive. The price is a little high, but I have to believe that I will eventually make the money back because of how well I will be able to serve my clients with this tool… > > Overall, Instrumentl is one of the reasons I have joy as a grant writer. It makes my job easy with verbal and visual information arranged in a very appealing and accessible interface. I recommend everyone make this one of the tools you work into your budget. ----- ### "Work Smarter Not Harder" — 5.0/5 > **Laquisha** | *23 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The first thing I did when I became a fiscal manager was search for tools to help me with managing my grant budgets. Instrumentl was my choice after researching two other vendors. The feedback was great and the email responses and availability were in a timely manner. Representatives were very helpful with getting me started with the software. It took me a while to get comfortable with using it only because my new role was already very demanding getting up to speed... to say the least. The Instrumentl software is very easy to use. Even if you are not familiar with the website and its content, they offer tons of tutorial videos to walk you through each tab, step by step. The Instrumentl team members have been extremely helpful with implementing new procedures for me as it pertains to the document and financial portions. They are always creating new features to make the product work better so that you are working smarter and not harder. I had the pleasure of working with \[sensitive content hidden\] over the summer and he was a huge help with me being able to manage my grant budgets in this software. With the latest features of individual expense reporting and document summary scanner, I am super excited for this grant cycle. I no longer have to depend on the system my business office uses to manage and track our spending. The software is worth it once you take the time to explore all that it has to offer. > > **Cons**: I did not like the fact that I had to download an expense template, add my information to the sheet and then upload it. Now, with the new feature, I can go into the actual grant and enter each expense without uploading a document template etc... > > I am very happy that I chose this software and program. The experience with the representatives has been very helpful and became a major go to resource. ----- ### "Find and Secure Grants\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *31 August 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instrumentl provides an amazing resource to find both private and federal grant opportunities. I love the "Funder Summary" tabs the most because they summarize lengthy 990 forms into easy to read highlights to find great matches for our clients. > > **Cons**: It can be costly for consultants like me to pay for the software monthly, if I am working on writing the grants, as opposed to researching the grants. > > Instrumentl is an excellent resource for research. They also provide amazing professional development as well. It would be even more impressive if there were a way to connect with potential clients who needed grant research and writing services too. ----- ### "The best of the best" — 5.0/5 > **Stephan** | *22 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instrumentl keeps info up to date. Other grant writing tools do not. The dashboard is user friendly. Deadline emails are handy to stay up to task. > > **Cons**: There should be a project module where i can upload documents about a certain company for whom i write a grant without having to go through the questionnaire. > > Best grant writing and management tool I had so far. The AI interface for customer support is accurate and loads quickly, I get my answers in the time I need to be a proficient grant writer. ----- ### "Where Have You Been All My Life?" — 5.0/5 > **Colette** | *6 October 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instrumentl is the best investment we could have made. It's intuitive and easy to use, and if you do have a question, the customer service is phenomenal. You get tremendous support as you set up your account and learn to use the product. It offers excellent features for both pre- and post-award grants management, including detailed spend-down charts, excellent, targeted prospecting to help us find well-aligned funders, an AI feature, and documents management. It helps our team work together to stay on top of a busy grants calendar, and the calendar is fully integrated with Outlook. The Instrumentl team continues to create improvements constantly, and are receptive to suggestions for ongoing enhancements. It's a secure platform that lets me search for funders I would otherwise miss, based on targeted project organization. I couldn't be happier. > > **Cons**: There's honestly nothing I don't like. There are areas where the company is constantly improving, e.g., reporting, which we've asked to be more customizable. But in the less than one year since we've gotten it, they have already made multiple improvements. > > The platform is great; the team is outstanding. I think the thing that sets Instrumentl apart from other vendors I've worked with is that they are sincerely engaged with their customers. They work with us on our individual questions, and if the platform can't do something we need, they help us find a work around while the team looks for ways to make updates that customers request. They want us to succeed and they are so responsive I honestly don't know how they do it. It's not the cheapest program out there, but if you can swing the money, you won't be sorry. You'll be working with more clarity, more efficiency, and more success, almost from the start. I haven't seen anything that can compete with it for ease of use, power of the platform, and off-the-charts customer service. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2050345/instrumentl?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2050345/instrumentl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
