Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon any transfer that occurs after the consummation of the initial public offering (the "IPO") of AppFolio, Inc. (the "Issuer"), except for any transfers by (i) a partnership or limited liability company that was a registered holder of shares of Class B Common Stock at the effective time of the IPO to anyone who was a partner or member of any such partnership or limited liability company at the effective time, and (ii) a transfer to a "qualified recipient," as defined in the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The shares of Class B Common Stock have no expiration date.
(2) All outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one share for one share basis, on the date when the number of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represents less than 10% of the sum of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
(3) Shares are held by The Brian R. Donahoo 2015 Revocable Trust dated June 10, 2015, of which Mr. Donahoo serves as trustee.
(4) The underlying restricted stock award vested as to 62,500 shares on July 27, 2012, and then thereafter at a rate of 5,208 shares per month; includes 10,417 shares subject to vesting through July 27, 2015 that may be repurchased by the Issuer at the original purchase price.
(5) The underlying restricted stock award vested as to 23,250 shares on April 19, 2014, and then thereafter at a rate of 1,938 shares per month; includes 42,625 shares subject to vesting through April 19, 2017 that may be repurchased by the Issuer at the original purchase price.
(6) None of the Series of Convertible Preferred Stock have expiration dates. However, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock, irrespective of its Series, will convert into 0.25 shares of Class B Common Stock immediately following the effectiveness of the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the IPO. The Class B Common Stock has not been registered, and is not currently expected to be registered, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(7) The option vests as to 18,750 shares on December 3, 2015, and then thereafter at a rate of 1,563 shares per month.
