Application Management You Can Set Up Yourself

WizeHive is built around Zengine, a genuinely configurable form and workflow engine that lets organisations handle grants, scholarships, fellowships, and awards inside one platform without forcing every programme into the same structure. That's a real strength, but it's not one WizeHive has to itself — Dapple's forms support the same depth of conditional logic, custom fields, and multi-stage workflows, configurable by anyone on your team without code. The difference is what that configurability costs you to access. WizeHive's typically takes 1–3 months to deploy depending on complexity, has no free tier, and is priced custom and sales-scoped — positioned as mid-market, but with no published starting figure to budget against upfront. Worth noting too: WizeHive was acquired by Submittable in 2022, which raises reasonable questions about long-term product direction worth asking directly during any sales conversation.

Dapple gives you that same configurability live the same day — a free account, templates, and an AI form generator get you building instead of scoping, with pricing public from $49/month, unlimited programmes, and no annual lock-in. Entry payments settle instantly through your own Stripe account at 3.9% + $0.65, rather than a fee structure confirmed contract by contract. Where WizeHive asks you to invest months configuring flexibility, Dapple's is there from day one.
