### "Highly recommend"

September 18, 2021

5.0

Love it. Thanks SignUp!

Pros

SignUp.com makes volunteer management a joy rather than a chore.

Cons

There is sometimes a lag between volunteer responses and the notices I receive. It's not a big deal, but has occasionally resulted in me getting information a bit late.

### "Best Online Signup Tool We Have Used"

March 13, 2025

5.0

We really love this online sign-up tool! It is flexible and very quick and easy to use. We did not have to spend a lot of time setting up a new online sign-up. Best of all, users do not have to create an account in order to sign up.

Pros

It is easy to learn and use, very user friendly, and does not require folks to create an account in order to sign up for an event. It is also very flexible for different types of sign-ups.

Cons

The graphic and design choices are a little limited, but this was a VERY minor issue for us. The only other thing is not being able to attach a document to the sign-up, but this also was a very minor issue for us.

Alternatives considered

[SignUpGenius](https://www.capterra.com/p/135392/SignUpGenius/)

Reason for choosing SignUp.com

Signup.com did not require users to create an account in order to sign up.

### "Found it useful and easy to navigate"

April 13, 2026

5.0

Pros

I want to thank you for providing such a great service. I have not used scheduling services much in the past. We have one we use for weekly ministries, but I needed something for Adoration signups. I found it very easy to navigate and edit. I plan to use it in the future when Father gives me more assignments. :) MaryRose MaryRose Carlow Administrative Assistant Prince Of Peace Catholic Church

Cons

I do not have any cons. I found Sign up to be very easy to navigate, especially when I had to come back and make corrections or updates.

### "Another Software to Get People to Sign Up for stuff"

September 6, 2019

3.0

Used Sign Up for alot of stuff until I discovered Sign Up Genius. Sign Up doesn't have the bells and whistles, including collecting payment, like Sign Up Genius does. Sign Up would be great for the most simplistic of sign up lists; nothing to big or with too many selections/options to pick from. Wish the website site had more of a design. It's rather blank looking with just words,, not very appealing. But the functionality ultimately does what it says it will do (and for FREE) which is good all around.

Pros

You can easily transfer an event from one person to another person to be the owner of.

Cons

It doesn't have many special features and setting up repeating items is not as simple as it could be

Response from SignUp.com

October 7, 2019

Hi Kim - Thanks for being a leader at your school and for taking the time to share your feedback, For clarification, SignUp does allow you to collect funds on the site, and we know how important budgets are so we only pass on the processing fee and don't charge fees ourselves (unlike SignUp Genius charges.). I'm sorry we didn't make it more obvious, but we absolutely do offer a near-instant way to schedule a series of appointment spots - like for parent-teacher conferences, and to set up repeating schedules. Please click Help at the top of the site to learn how or to contact our support team. Since most parents (80%+) will be signing up on smartphones, our screens are designed and tested for clarity and user success. I hope you'll give us a try again in the future.

### "Great platform for educators"

February 13, 2026

5.0

Very helpful! My parent volunteers show up on time, have automatic reminders for their position and I have the right number through first come first serve opportunities.

Pros

Thank you for offering this service for free to educators!! I am SO grateful for your platform and truly appreciate your service. I set up my volunteer slots at the beginning of the school year and have little to no maintenance on my side to keep volunteers organized. They receive automatic reminders from Signup.com which helps them show up on time and ready to volunteer which saves me time during my busy school year!!

Cons

The free version has ads which is not ideal but I would rather have the ads then pay myself! I appreciate not having appropriate ads for parents.

### "SignUp Makes Life Easy for Organizers and Users"

September 16, 2024

5.0

All of my interactions with SignUp personnel have been very positive. It's a wonderful product with staff members who have extensive knowledge about this software.

Pros

Well-written directions and great search function help me find the topic I need. The SignUp customer service is outstanding! They usually resolve my issues within just a few hours, even on a weekend. The user interface is very user-friendly.

Cons

I do not have any issues at all with SignUp. I just wish I had found them sooner. I was a previous user of SignUpGenius and my users really struggled with it. SignUp is so easy for everyone to use.

### "Save time and effort with SignUp.com "

August 26, 2025

5.0

Signup.com saves me a lot of planning and contact time. I don't need to shop around for any other system because Signup does it all.

Pros

Signup.com is a time efficient way to organize volunteers for events and both short term and long term programs. The system simplified how we make contact with people through email and text messaging. Invitations to participate and reminders to those who have signed up are automatic. It is also a secure system that provides privacy to my contacts and does not share their information with outsiders. We have used Signup for 5 years at my not-for-profit organization and we upgrade to ad free for 3 months during our busy summer season. I definitely recommend investing in the upgrade! Edits are easy to make and all of the descriptions to our spots can be modified as needed. Generating printable lists and reports to use at our volunteer events are ready in a click of a button. When I forget what steps to take to find what I'm looking for, or have a question, the program has complete and simple instructions that are easy to follow. We also get monthly, in advance reminders of the billing so that makes it easy to add or remove upgrades when we need to.

Cons

I am of the generation that grew up prior to computer technology so for me there is no such thing as "intuitive". I sometimes just click on things until I find the menu for the report and information I am looking for. Many of our volunteers are also older/retired people from this by-gone era and they need some hand holding to use the online sign up.

### "Love SignUp.com"

December 1, 2025

5.0

It's easy to setup and use, and if you're willing to have a few ads on the pages and emails, it's free. If you have a budget, the cost for ad-free is very reasonable.

Pros

We have used SignUp (free version) for years to organize volunteer shifts for our CSA pickup site. We appreciate the ease of use and that the ads are not too obtrusive.

Cons

Really didn't have any problems or anything negative to say. It's just an easy to use way to organize volunteers.

January 24, 2026

5.0

We have used signup.com for several years during our quilting retreat weekend. We use the app so quilters can sign up for massages on different days, different times and masseuses. It's pretty intuitive to set up and use.

Pros

Easy to use for nonprofits, free, expandable for different uses, fun final interface options. Even oldet users are able to figure it out!

Cons

Can't copy and paste or drag down to fill in rows with common data. sometimes the emails/ads fet annoying but can be ignored.

February 11, 2026

4.0

Pros

Once set up, SignUp is easy to use, customizable for many detailed volunteer options, and quick for sending out reminders.

Cons

It took us a little bit to understand the platform, create the volunteer opportunities, and get them easily to SignUp users.

December 19, 2024

5.0

User friendly on both the organizer and the sign up side.

Pros

Very easy to use and manage. We use it to sign up volunteers for the school snack bar.

Cons

I don't particularly like paying for premium services. Fortunately, what I use it for the basic "free" service is enough.

### "Covid Mass Vaccination Centres - Rural Wales"

January 31, 2024

5.0

Amazing! It was easy to set up, relatively inexpensive, great customer service. Our volunteers loved the phone app. What a system! If we were short of a volunteer to cover a shift at a particular centre we sent a message to the apps, it pinged on hundreds of phones and usually someone offered to fill the slot in seconds. Ours was one of the first counties in Wales to meet covid vaccination targets - ensuring there were enough wayfinder volunteers at each site to help process people safely was crucial to that success, and Sign Up ensured we could do it. Thank you!

Pros

Initially we tried tracking volunteer using spreadsheets and phone calls. Considering we had three vaccination sites across a rural area and a a very ambitious programme to vaccinate the population in a short timescale and had many hundreds of volunteers, we needed a system which offered effective scheduling, rapid communication and good reporting systems. Sign Up was the ONLY commercially available system to offer this for volunteers - HR software might have worked but was too expensive as it contained lots of features you do not need when mobilising volunteers.

Cons

Nothing! The software is perfect for the application it is designed for - mobilising and managing volunteering!

Reason for choosing SignUp.com

There is no other comparable product. HR software can provide rota software but as it generally has lots of features not applicable to volunteers it is prohibitively expensive for charities to use to manage the deployment of volunteers. Sign Up is unique highly recommended. And there is a free version for small organisations with less complex situations! How cool is that!

### "They've been my #1 choice as a teacher for several years. Fast help response. Will use again!"

October 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

I love the service and how it shows status in real time, and parents like the flexibility to rearrange appointments at will. The reminders are a very good thing, and I had zero unannounced no-shows at any appointment. The notification options for participants, being able to send a link in email AND post a button to my website was brilliant. I think I caught every parent I needed to see, and others clearly knew they had the option to meet with me if they wished.

Cons

I use the free service and am unlikely to purchase an upgrade at this time. (I only benefit your company in terms of eyeballs and awareness as my students families sign in, and as I recommend your site to other teaching colleagues.) In order for me to continue to be a devotee of SignUp.com, I need an easier and more obvious way to find the list of parents who signed up with the field that shows who their child is in my class. With today's blended families, parent last names are not an indicator of who their child is. As a middle school teacher with 100+ student on my rosters, I need a fast way to see who the adult is that has made the appointment, as well as who is the child they are coming to consult about. I bounced around your multiple list views and reports before contacting Help. Their response was very swift, (yay!), but the answer was not self-evident to me as a user: I needed to pull up a Check-In report, and there I would at last find the students names shows, as long as I checked the show extra fields box when requesting the report. All told, I figured out the answer over the course of a couple of afternoons, but I admit I was getting frustrated. When I told this to SignUp customer service, the were back to me within minutes and expressed they would look into how to make it more intuitive in the future. One can't beat their responsiveness!

### "Convenient Volunteer Calendar"

February 6, 2020

4.0

We are always looking for ways to engage volunteers and streamline the process of communicating volunteer opportunities and logistics. SignUp.com allows us to use a free web-based solution that is easily accessible for our school's parent population, and it makes our jobs as volunteer coordinators much more simple than if we were trying to maintain offline records.

Pros

Our PTO has used SignUp.com for over two years. As a nonprofit serving a local public school, we love that it is free for all of our parents who are trying to help our students and teachers. We use it to track volunteers for all of our projects. It is easy to copy/paste recurring shifts for jobs such as Media Center volunteers but we can also customize the shifts for specific days or alternate schedules. We like that volunteers can make comments for everybody to see (such as, "I can work this shift but will be 15 minutes late."). However, the biggest pro for us is the feature to "group" calendars together. We usually direct volunteers to the grouped URL, and people can then easily see all of the activities or events that are available for volunteering; we have calendars for Media Center, Cafeteria, Book Fairs, Fundraisers, and other special events. We have found that not having to promote separate URLs for each upcoming event has streamlined our volunteer communications and made it easier for our parents to find the task that best suits them for getting involved.

Cons

The mobile version of SignUp.com does not display the details very conveniently for users. For Book Fairs, we list the classes that are coming during each volunteer shift, and we often hear from volunteers who ask us when their child's class is coming because they cannot see the details for the shifts. It seems to require a lot of clicking/navigating to access the specific shift details on the mobile version.

### "SignUp to up your game."

November 4, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with SignUp has been great. When I do have a problem with SignUp it is because I forgot a step but then got set strait, so it is all good to me.

Pros

SignUp allows the organization to list all the positions, time slots, etc., for an event and once posted, this allows those to whom the information was sent to sign up if they can and want to. This cuts down on time spent calling or emailing individuals asking for their help.

Cons

I can not say that I have any Cons; I am sure there may be some for an organization that uses the system on a regular basis and that puts together larger venues. But for us, we love SignUp and recommend it to others all the time.

Reason for choosing SignUp.com

I was told about SignUp as well by another user, so my first and last option.

When I have a program like SignUp.com, I have much more time to do my job more efficiently.

Pros

This school year was my first time using SignUp.com and I LOVED IT! It made a huge difference in organizing all our parent volunteers throughout the year. They even received reminder emails from SignUp.com. Wow! Thank you so much for having this available!

Cons

I haven't discovered any weaknesses in this program.

### "One of the best tools ever for volunteer coordinators!"

August 26, 2017

5.0

As a volunteer coordinator working with hundreds of volunteers 15 to 20 times a year, I treat it as a multi-use tool - a worksheet, a roster, a plan and a summary or report post-event. It makes managing volunteers on paper so easy. At a glance, I can see how many more I need and for what task, day or event.

Pros

1) intuitive 2) it doesn't ask for a lot of unnecessary info from volunteers 3) it's quick and easy to sign up large groups 4) you can attach a volunteer waiver with the paid subscriptions 5) you have the ability to print out a roster, a check-in form or a summary

Cons

A minor fix - I would just like to see the ability to use a single email address to sign up multiple groups. For example, a coach who signed up her track team to volunteer, can also use the same email address to sign up her youth church group for the same event. Right now, the same coach needs to use two different email addresses to be able to do that.

### "SignUp is so helpful!"

September 20, 2022

5.0

It makes my job of finding volunteer staff much easier.

Pros

I thoroughly enjoy using SignUp for finding volunteers for a concession stand we run at the Nebraska State Fair. It lets me know who has signed up, sends reminders to them and a summary for the week. I also like the message feature as it enables us to get in touch with all of our workers efficiently. Thank you for making this available to us

Cons

Some of my volunteers could not figure out how to sign up or delete a sign up they had made. I believe it was user inexperience.

### "Easy and Quick"

October 20, 2022

5.0

Signup.com saves me time, because it manages my paperwork and keeps everything neatly organized on their website. It allows individuals to choose what time/date works best for them and emails confirmations for me.

Pros

I love that I can use signup.com to have parents and students sign up for a time to complete parent-teacher conferences. I am an online teacher and signup.com makes it super quick to put together an event, in this case conferences, with individual slots people can sign up for that work for them. I put together a list of possible options, and, using my specific event link which I email to parents, signup.com directs them to choose a slot. Once the slot is full, it is unavailable for anyone else. Signup.com saves me so much time. I can put together an event in 5 -10 minutes, and signup.com manages it for me. I can then check who has signed up and confirm with them their slot.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like. I would recommend adding more picture designs to spice up the invites.

February 5, 2023

5.0

I use signup every year for parent conferences, and love it! It is easy to set up, easy to navigate, and parents find it very convenient. The reminders to parents and updates to teachers are also helpful.

Pros

It's very easy and quick to set up for conferences. It keeps me updated on all activity or on any changes, and provides an organized printout of the event's families and time slots. It gives parents flexibility in choosing a time slot and in changing their time slot.

Cons

I have no complaints on this product. There were no glitches, and it worked seamlessly for the event.

Reason for choosing SignUp.com

I liked it the first time I used it and never looked at anything else.

I have been using SignUp.com for years, and absolutely love it. It's fast and easy, and helps keep my sign ups organized.

Pros

SignUp.com is so easy to set up, send out, and use over and over and over. My students' parents really liked it, too. They liked the fact they didn't have to create an account, and how easy it was to sign up for several things, including bringing celebration day items.

October 6, 2019

I use signup.com to sign up church volunteers. The volunteers are mostly older church members that can easily use the signup. I like the printed reports and the ability to communicate with volunteers within the Signup.

Pros

Easy to use for people not tech savvy, ability to duplicate signups, love the email reminders for users, like to see all spots that a single user has signed up for

Cons

Limited themes with the free version. Ad free option too expensive for small group quarterly signups.

Thanks for being a leader in your church and for sharing your feedback, Elizabeth. Please keep in mind that most people (80%) will be signing up on their smartphones and there is very limited screen real-estate for themes. We hope our proven and attractive options will meet your needs. We also offer an ad-free version for $9.99 per month covering unlimited SignUps, Group Pages and notifications (discounted annually offering 2 months free). Perhaps we can fit in a future budget.

### "Great for HS Reunion Organizing!"

December 1, 2018

5.0

I've also used SignUp.com to organize a professional luncheon, and our turnout was higher than ever -- we believe because of the ease of RSVP-ing and paying in just a matter of minutes. Will definitely recommend SignUp.com and use it again in the future, enthusiastically!

Pros

Setting up the RSVP and payment functions (through WePay) was straightforward and intuitive. While not specifically designed for this specific function (a high school class reunion), it worked spectacularly and not only helped people RSVP, but also commit with their payments and get automatic periodic reminders. It took the pain out of having to collect money in cash or checks, and eliminated the need to post "someone at the door" to collect, so that all of us could just enjoy the reunion when it arrived. Also the ability to generate the list of RSVPs (sign-ups) and share with others was terrific.

Cons

For us, gathering RSVPs but also collecting money, the process of going from one to the other could be improved as a few people signed up but didn't pay at first, and others paid at first but didn't "sign up." Once the organizer chooses to collect money, the system should self-configure to guide the end-user (who is signing up) to both sign up and then pay, to avoid having people do one part but not the other.

I love that there are so many sign-up features within this software. Users can manage multiple sign-up sheets, easily edit them as more participants are added, sort as needed, sync to digital calendars, and receive text alerts as dates approach. Creating and organizing events of all sizes is easy with this tool.

Cons
