SignUpGenius Pricing

We use Sign-Up Genius when we need to have people sign up for an event. Sign up genius makes it simple to create an event and then organize the participants following the sign up period.

Signup Genius is somewhat expensive. It is a simple program, but is expensive to use. However, if you are able to have people sign up, any amount of money should be paid!

I first used SignUpGenius as a PTA president when my children were young. We discovered the site and implemented it for volunteer sign up at various events. At first, many were reluctant to try something new, but as they used it, they realized how convenient it truly is. Over the next few years, organizations rolled it out more and more, and now I regularly receive invitations to participate in projects...

I feel like at some point the software became very ad-heavy, and that makes it unusable for participants. It's necessary to keep providing the service at free or low cost, but it can be nervewracking wondering if the next announcement aligns with district policies. Other than disabling ads for educators, I'm not sure how that could be worked out and still be reasonable for the company.

This event management product allows us to keep our two largest yearly give away events organized. The product enabled us to move our in person sign ups online and had thus increase productivity and efficiency. We no longer need to have multiple employees or rely on volunteers to be able to provide assistance to those in need. Additionally being online allows for those needy to help to sign up whenever it is convenient for them rather than coming in person at a certain time. The software is easy to use and able to be used on a variety of devices which is great since we serve individuals with different levels of experience when it comes to technology. Software has good reporting capabilities as well which allow you to use with Excel.

There really isn't anything I do not like about the software, our biggest issue has been with individuals entering incorrect email address. When they do that they do not receive our messages and reminders which can be frustrating for all.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your kind review! I'm so happy that we've been able to help you!

Operating a crisis text line it is imperative to find a way to schedule volunteers to operate the line during specific time frames. We looked high and low at several different scheduling platforms that would allow volunteers to sign up for the shifts that they are available for. Signup Genius had everything that we were looking for and with its intuitive and easy to use interface we were able to create a signup sheet for each month with the time slots needed to be filled. Another huge and unforeseen implementation was the fact that volunteers do not need to apply or register on the site to sign up.

Honestly I have yet to find anything that I dislike about the product. It does exactly what it says that it does. There are more positives for the product than there are negatives. Off the top of my head I cannot think of anything negative or things that I like least about the software. In the three plus years that we have been utilizing the platform it has performed amazing for us.

I like that I can use it for free. It has a premium version, but you can still use the free version and its' good enough to use for volunteer management. This is specially helpful for grassroots nonprofits like the one I work for. The free version also includes some reporting tools and communication features.

I keep hearing about integrations with donor databases, but at least with Bloomerang, the one we use, it's very limited. I'd like to manage volunteers entirely with one software, but if you want to keep track of your volunteers hours and have their profile updated then you have to switch to another database management software.

Hi Leng, Thank you for your review! With your current free account, you are limited in the number of API requests per day. API requests allow you to pull data from your SignUpGenius account and use it in other applications. If you upgrade to a Gold subscription you can track your volunteer hours in your account with our volunteer hours report and you will have the ability to make 5,000 API requests per day. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team at support@signupgenius.com. We are happy to help you!

I was in charge of a fundraiser for my daughter's trip to sing at Carnegie Hall. This trip was quite expensive so many fundraisers were needed. I had been on the user end of SignUpGenius a number of times. This was my first time actually creating and managing one. I appreciated that we were able to organize and sign-up people for donations and work times at our booth during a local summer festival. It expedited contact with a large number of families. The event was a success!

I found that designing the sign-ups took a lot of patience and experimentation. I am fairly tech savvy. I have a Masters Degree in Educational Technology so I am always interested in learning how to use new software products. As a user, I find it very easy to navigate. As a creator, it didn't seem intuitive enough for me.

Hi Denice, Thank you for your review! If you ever run into issues setting up a sign up, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for some pro tips specific to your event. We are happy to help! http://www.signupgenius.com/help

It's very easy to set up and use. Once you get a recurring sign-up looking the way you want, it's easy to duplicate and modify to move forward. It's also easy for the volunteers to use, too. They simply navigate to the slot they want to sign up for and fill in some basic information. SignUpGenius just works. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to manage. We have no reason to look elsewhere when the free version works so well.

The design of the signups does look rather outdated, like a basic HTML page from the mid 2000s. The free tier limits the amount of customization you can do, and it does include ads, but there are enough free themes to choose from to find something that'll work for you. The new version of the signup editor isn't as intuitive as the older version, but the support files will help you find what you need if you need help.

I have been using SignupGenius for years and it is an absolutely invaluable resource. We have used this tool for a variety of features with our staff - everything from schedule student employees for desk and duty shifts to having employees self-select a potluck dish for a staff holiday event. We also use it for student-facing events and services such as interviews and appointment based services.

It can take a little while to become familiar with the layout and format of the signup builder. The system gives you multiple ways to build your form, which can result in some inefficiencies or confusion until you really get to understand all the different features available to you.

I set this up with a non-profit client for all of their volunteer coordination needs quite a long time ago -- as much as 7 or 8 years ago. It served their purposes then and continues to now. I think it is better than any of its competitors that I have checked out.

Some of the processes are a bit cumbersome in SignUp Genius, particularly when you are sending it to people who are not very tech-savvy, but as it has been used repeatedly in a couple of organizations I advise, the users have gotten up to speed and it serves their purposes well

The concept of this organizational tool is just way over do. I cannot imagine what a time saver it must be for so many different industries. It streamlines a whole process that is incredibly time consuming but necessary. I could also see the value in using this software as an individual for fundraising events or even just party planning. On the user side of this software I love that it is pretty much self serve. I can view all of the options available to me, as well as what others doing, and "sign up" without ever having to get in contact with any administrators. I also love that I am automatically sent a reminder. Just a side note, sign up genius works extremely well in conjunction with Class Dojo in the school setting. I think you get a ton of value for the money.

The only thing I can really see as a con in using this software is that it is impersonal, but that could also be viewed as good thing, as it is pretty much self serve you as the "host" no longer have to delegate or mediate who's doing what or who's bringing what!

I am so glad to get out of the old paper sign-up rut! SignUpGenius has made sign-ups so painless and made organizing events so much easier. It is amazing to not have multiple copies of a sign-up floating around and then have to combine the names later and verify that no one signed up twice on two different sheets, etc. It is truly great and setting up a sign-up couldn't be easier. The creator of the sign-up needs to set up an account, but those who sign up don't have to create an account!

There are obviously some features, like start and/or stop dates, that are not available if you use the basic free version. I also don't like that even on the paid versions, you still only get a limited number of sign-ups without ads; in fact, only the most expensive option has no ads.

One of the best features of SignUp Genius for churches and non-profits is it's price. Nothing beats it. It also is able to give you many slots to sign up with other people. It's perfect for getting big groups to sign up for certain slots.

It's not the smoothest software. It can be a little clunky and is not beautifully designed. With big groups, it's a little frustrating to scroll through many pages of signups to get to open slots. I wish there was a little more functionality with all of that. I wish there were more design options.

Introduced to Signup Genius through my son's school - from there I incorporated it into all the events I need to schedule for personal events, sports, gatherings, volunteering for Boy Scout events and now use if for scheduling work functions where volunteers are needed. I have only used the basic plan and it has worked wonders but you cannot beat the monthly cost if more detailed scheduling is needed.

Really, I have no cons with the using Signup Genius, its a great online form to use for any activity where volunteers are needed.

I like that this system makes it easy to allow people to sign up for shifts at a volunteer event. I especially like that you can define how many people can do something so that you don't get too many in a particular time slot. The system allows you to modify unselected times, as well.

Depending on the template you use, it can look a little old-fashioned. Sometimes the graphics get squished. The free system is great to start, but if you want to add custom questions, you are limited to one per signup. The basic plan is reasonably priced, though.

Ease of use, easy to share via social media, email, or other means. Reporting tools very powerful. Text and email reminders are fantastic tools

Ads & Customization only available in the premium level. Even at the lowest "pay" platform, the ads and you can only customize one view. Wish this was available in the lower level for the value, but the jump is too high for small organizations operating on shoestring budgets.

Thank you for your feedback, Francine. With the Silver level subscription ($107.89 annually) you can remove third party ads from up to 5 sign ups. As events pass, you can reassign the no ads licenses to new sign ups. A silver subscription will also give you access to hundreds of our premium themes. Additionally, you can create a custom theme using the Theme Builder advanced feature. If you need more than one custom theme, you can add your logo or custom image to any of our basic themes to customize your sign up. If you have any questions about how our subscriptions can help your school, don't hesitate to contact our Support Team: http://www.signupgenius.com/help

Free account is useful with very few limitations. Good automatic and manual communication attributes for users to contact people who sign up. Pretty intuitive design and specialization. Paid account just ups the abilities.

Frequently the web servers are down, which can create some confusion with people who are trying to interact with your sign-up. It's very intermittent, but in the limited time we use the service, once a quarter, it happens a few times, each time. This is just annoying, not a deal breaker. Would like to see the structure be a little more reliable.

The ability to manage sign ups for classes I am hosting at no cost is critical - This tool allows me to do that effectively

Creating time slots can be tedious, and I have made mistakes before when using the "copy time slot" functionality

Thank you for your review! It may help you to know that we offer an easy way for you to enter time slot. This link will take you to detailed instructions: https://www.signupgenius.com/faq/create-time-slot-sign-up-appointments.cfm

Quip & easy to use as well for as to set up

Limited layout options for wanting specific information displayed

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for your review! It may help you to know that our site is very flexible and there are lots of ways to structure a sign up page. If you ever need assistance, please contact our support team by emailing support@signupgenius.com. We are happy to help you structure your sign up page!

Everything. The software does everything we need it for.

I would like the ability to have more add-free signups without upgrading to a more expensive plan that has several other features that I don't need at this time. I don't mind paying a little more to have this option.

It is fairly easy to use and low/no cost. It is good for scheduling events with individual times which is particularly helpful during Covid.

It is very user friendly, but I wish it had an app or way to more easily manage multiple events on the go.

Hi Chad, thank you for the review. We love hearing how SignUpGenius simplifies organization of your group. It may be helpful to know that we offer a mobile app, available both iOS and Android users. You can learn more here:http://www.signupgenius.com/webapp.

Ease of Customer Use. Think there will always be 10% of customers who won't take the time to learn a new trick, but the vast majority say the software is easy to learn and use.

For a "Baby Boomer" who is not a "techie", the initial set-up was a bit of a trial. However, the "SignUpGenius" staff were helpful and very responsive to requests for assistance.

As a user it is very easy to navigate and to select the date and time you want to set your appointment.

It looks outdated for an online application. As a user I am unsure if the product cost the poster money, but if so they need to update the user interface to look more modern. If it is a free product for the poster, then I understand why the interface is dated.

I use SignUpGenius for parents to sign up for parent-teacher conferences. I like that I can create the available slots, parents can sign up, and I receive an email when any additions or changes occur. I also like how I am emailed a reminder on who has signed up for the day.

It's not as user-friendly as it could be. I'm a tech-savvy person and get frustrated when I'm using it. The directions are not clear, which can lead to one completing a lot of tasks, just to discover it's incorrect.

I LOVE this program for allowing groups to sign up for events and items that they'd like to bring or donate.

I thought it was a bit expensive at first, but then realized that it came with a lot of features I ended up using.

Jeana, it may be helpful to know that event organizers are welcome to use the basic account level to create sign ups and manage events. If advanced features are helpful, subscriptions begin at $9.99/month.
