Crowded vs. Velmie

Crowded is very well suited for fraternities, or any non-profit community groups really, that have a centralized fund and rely on members purchasing equipment and materials individually. Any company that requires reimbursements and has to manage dues from numerous members should take advantage of this free application, as it provides a really easy way to manage the finances of an organization

We began using Velmie in 2016, and have had a good experience with them. They are technically competent, and have done consistent work. As mentioned earlier, communication has become more difficult as of late. That said, our relationship continues, and as the review reflects, we are generally satisfied

• Good customer service.
• Easy-to-use, free software.
• Useful features.
• A sufficient product for its target market.

• They have experience with social media APIs
• Initially, they were responsive
• The system did function, reasonably well for the initial few years.

• Collaborating more with fraternities to sponsor events.
• Making payments to nationals even easier.

• As they've grown, a little more complicated to communicate.

We were using GreekBill before to manage our funds and dues, and it was very outdated and unhelpful. Crowded was much more simple, easy to use, and had way more functions.

At the time we selected them as a vendor, we believed they were our best solution. They continue to support and maintain the system

• It has allowed us to keep track of all our finances and not lose track of funds.
• It has allowed us to lower dues because of this increased accountability and organization.
• No more reimbursement forms and Venmo payments!

• Initially they helped us support our users.
• When we have hit bumps, we have been able to work through them, an important quality.
