SO easy to get and organize volunteer signups vs the old clipboard with a legal pad and pen method. I still can't believe that it's free. It's trusted and well known, so people don't mind creating an account to use it.

Pros

Easy to go from using it in personal life to with our new nonprofit.

Cons

No downsides. Even the few ads aren't intrusive. Surprising for a free product.

Thank you for submitting a review! We appreciate your feedback. While we do have a security feature that will log out a user after 30 minutes of an inactive session, I do have a suggestion that may help. We have a Remember Me box on the log in screen that, when checked, will auto-fill the log in information, to make logging in easier. I hope this is helpful for you.

Pros

I have to coordinate many volunteers and plan meetings for us. Not everyone is on Outlook so it is challenging to know what windows of time work for us to meet, plan and serve. This tool really helps resolve that!

Cons

The cost barrier is the biggest challenge for me.

I'm very happy whenever anyone chooses to use this app. It helps events run smoother and makes delegation easy. I believe it helps organizers feel less stressed when they have an easy method like this to ask for help or gently nudge members of groups in which volunteer time is required.

Pros

As a user of signup genius, I appreciate the transparency of the app, how it lists exactly what type of help is requested and in what amounts. I can choose to commit to aspects that I can manage, knowing I'm able to complete the commitment, instead of agreeing to a vague volunteer time or effort. I have personal limits on my physical abilities and time, so it's very helpful to be able to choose something that I can do and feel like I'm contributing.

Cons

Signup genius leaves the details of signups up to the administrator, which can't be helped, but sometimes signups don't have as many details or as much transparency. Maybe some optional prompts could be added to the set-up, such as a pop-up that suggests adding more detail, but isn't required.

Overall, I would highly recommend SignUpGenius for anyone looking for a cheap (we use the free version), effective, and simple way to recruit volunteers!

Pros

My experience with SignUpGenius has mostly been related to volunteer management. Specifically, I have used it to arrange volunteers to bring meals to various church functions. It has been incredibly easy to use - not just for me, but for those who sign up to bring a meal. The system even sends reminders to those who have signed up, which saves me time as the volunteer coordinator!

Cons

SignUpGenius has been effective in the purposes for which I have used it - which is primarily volunteer management. That being said, it'd be great if there were not so many advertisements on the site. But this is the cost of utilizing the free plan.

Creating event sign ups has never been easier!

Reviewed on 28/03/2024

Pros

SignUpGenius is farily easy to use. I've utilized both the free and premium version for event registration and communications and have really enjoyed them. In my role I am responsible for interviewing upwards of 100-200 student candidates a year in both individual and group capacities. It's imperative for me to have a website that allows me to quickly and effeciently create events for people to sign up for with accurate details, is easy to read, and will ensure notifications and reminders are sent out. It takes so much pressure off of my plate to do all of the things!

Cons

There was a small learning curve for me! I didn't quite understand how timeblocks worked, how to input specific information, or allow multiple people to sign up for one timeslot. It didn't take me long to figure out, but there was still a slight curve. Additionally, I do wish the free version had a few more styles to select from when creating a sign up!

The ease of navigating the website for fundraisers , meal trains and volunteer opportunities .

Sometimes it doesn’t update live time. So if two people are navigating the sign up , it won’t show right away that someone already signed up. However it’s not a huge deal, It’s still worth it .

I use SignUpGenius with my church groups a lot. I'm normallynot the administrator but the information about the events and attendees is helpful.

Pros

The email is easy to navigate and helps me remember what I have committed to.

Cons

The ads to create other request/lists are annoying. Most of the time I am working on multiple tasks. It's a pain to have to stop and read another question when all I wanted to do was confirm or deny my participation in an event. I don't need to know anything more about others.

We are taking a busy event and organizing the volunteer effort really needed to make it happen, which ensures the event goes off with minimal issue each year. We feel it’s a great example of when tech has really made our lives significantly easier.

Pros

It’s been a great tool for keeping volunteers organized and is very intuitive, so even volunteers who aren’t particularly tech-savvy have been able to utilize it. I have used it from both my phone and laptop and find both options work well. I find it affordable and even began using the free version which I had no major complaints about. It took a very chaotic event (dance recital) and streamlined the volunteer event needed to make it happen.

Cons

I’m not crazy about all the template options - wish there were better choices - but all in all, I don’t spend too much time on it so not a huge factor in whether or not I’ll continue using it.

Response from Lumaverse Technologies

Hi Kathy, Thank you for your kind review. It will help you to know that we offer hundreds of templates, many of them free.

My overall experience with SignUpGenius is fairly neutral. I don't feel a ton of loyalty toward it simply because it's not always the most intuitive or user-friendly platform, but it does work at getting sign-ups.

Pros

SignUpGenius works well for simple volunteer management. It's nothing fancy (at least, I have not used any bells and whistles) but gets the job done when you need people to sign-up for tasks.

Cons

The user experience feels really messy at times. I personally would love to see SignUpGenius get some kind of a facelift so it doesn't feel quite so spammy.
