Best Sign-Up App for Homeschool Co-ops
What to use, what it costs, and when it is not us
A homeschool co-op runs on parent volunteers: who teaches which class, who covers the nursery, which families join the field trip. Classes have seat limits, field trips have fees and waivers, and the whole thing restarts every semester.

Our picks, ranked by fit

Seat limits per class, parent duty slots, field-trip fees through Stripe (SignupKit takes 0%, US only), and waivers on Pro or the $12 Weekly Pass.
- 2

Family registration, tuition billing, and directories in one place. More setup and a yearly cost.
- 3
SignUpGenius
Familiar to many families. Free with ads.
- 4
Google Forms
Good for family registration details. Cannot stop a class from overfilling.
Where SignupKit is the wrong tool
- No recurring weekly duty schedule; make one sheet per term with a slot per week
- No tuition billing or family accounts
- No member directory
We make SignupKit. Every other tool on this page is described from its own published plans, and we rank specialists above ourselves where they do the job better.
