What is SignUpGenius?

SignUpGenius is an online sign up solution that replaces the need for paper sign up sheets and reply all emails. The tool simplifies event planning and volunteer coordination, making it easy to streamline communication with your group.  

The software was inspired by a busy family looking for a better way to organize groups for church, school, sports and more. The tool was designed to be versatile, giving you the power to plan everything from small gatherings with family and friends to large scale events. You can choose from over a thousand designs to customize the look of your sign up.  

People use online sign ups to accomplish their goals and make a difference in their communities, from organizing groups of volunteers to scheduling training and appointments.  

Is SignUpGenius free?

We offer a free plan with basic features such as email invites and reminders, online payment integration and access to hundreds of free sign up themes. This plan is best suited to people who plan small events like class parties or potlucks.
