SignUp.com Alternative
Free sign-ups without the ads
SignUp.com, formerly VolunteerSpot, is a solid free sign-up tool, but its free sign-ups show ads, and removing them costs $9.99 a month. If ads on the pages your volunteers and parents see are the problem, here is how SignupKit compares, and when SignUp.com is still the right choice.
