Timecounts Is Enterprise.
SignUpReady Is Simple.
Enterprise volunteer management is overkill for most groups. Create a free signup sheet in minutes - no accounts needed, no training required, no sales calls.
No credit card required. No account needed for participants.
Why Timecounts Is Overkill for Community Groups
Enterprise volunteer software isn't built for everyday signup coordination
Enterprise Pricing for Simple Needs
"We just need parents to sign up for snack duty. Timecounts wants us to get a quote and sign an annual contract."
SignUpReady is free for up to 2 active sheets. No quotes, no contracts, no sales calls.
Complicated Onboarding
"It took our volunteer coordinator two weeks to set up Timecounts. We just needed a signup sheet for the bake sale."
Create a signup sheet in under 2 minutes. Pick a template, add your slots, share the link. Done.
Volunteers Need Accounts
"Half our parent volunteers gave up because they had to create a Timecounts account and fill out a profile just to sign up for one shift."
Participants sign up with just their name and email. No account, no app, no profile required.
Built for Large Orgs, Not Community Groups
"Timecounts has features for managing hundreds of recurring volunteers. Our church group of 30 doesn't need any of that."
SignUpReady is purpose-built for community coordination. Simple enough for any parent, coach, or group leader.
