SignUpGenius Alternative for Potlucks
Food categories, a printable sheet, and no ads for guests
Potluck organizers leave SignUpGenius when guests see ads on the sign-up page. SignupKit is free for 5 sheets with 50 sign-ups each, which covers a typical potluck, and it shows no ads on any plan. SignUpGenius is still the better pick when you need unlimited free sheets and the ads do not bother your group. A blank potluck sheet is also on this site if you want paper.

Some hosts still want a paper list on the fridge. The free potluck sign up sheet page has a PDF and a Word file with category, name, dish, and allergens, and no email gate.

- Your church or school already uses SignUpGenius and people know the link
- You want their large template library and ads on the guest page are fine
- You need text-message reminders, which start on their paid plans
