SC Steve Crawford Youth Pastor Chose SignUpGenius We briefly used another sign-up website called "Bring the Cups."Needless to say, this website did not nearly offer the same amount of robust features as SignUpGenius did.

Alyssa Kuhn Founder Chose SignUpGenius [SignUpGenius] is an easy way to add sign ups to events and track attendance with reminder emails. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius I haven’t used other products because I’ve always used SignUpGenius when I need a big signup sheet in this kind of format. Depending on the situation, I might just create a shared document in Word or Google Docs and give people access to fill in whatever information I need from … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius SignUpGenius definitely allows more customization than using Google Forms for signing up / volunteering purposes. If I am creating a form for an event, 99.9% of the time I will use SignUpGenius. It also easily walks non-users through signing up - which is a feature that Google … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius I have never used any other product that is similar to SignUpGenius, this was my first exposure to something like this. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius I know of Eventbrite and how you can use it to promote an event. My event was for families and kids. The event was also free. Eventbrite I could have used for this but it did not have the abilities like SignUpGenius for me to organize and stay in contact with my community … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius SignUpGenius offers features that OneDrive does not have. Specifically, around automation and management in one place with a Free option. Other software in the same lane only offer free trials. The ads found on SignUpGenius can be distracting and a nuisance but understandable … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius We have used Google forms for many things and while it is useful, it isn't as easy for things like meetings, parties, and gatherings. When I look at the data from SignUpGenius, it's easy to understand and I know exactly what is going on. With Google Forms, it can be much more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignUpGenius I don't know. Incentivized Helpful? Caitlynn Dickerson Administrative Coordinator Chose SignUpGenius I have not used any other scheduling tools. Incentivized Helpful? Becca Guler Learning Specialist Chose SignUpGenius I have used Doodle for years to poll groups on possible meeting dates and times and choose one that works for the whole group. I still use the product regularly and find that SignUpGenius is a great compliment, as it works the other direction: when I have the dates and times … Incentivized Helpful? Megan Campbell Director of Operations Chose SignUpGenius We've used other services (such as Doodle Poll) to get similar information and it's been easy to get what we need from SignUpGenius. I love that SignUpGenius will send reminder emails for me so it can keep everyone up to date. It's also easy to edit so I can change things … Incentivized Helpful? Stacey Pagan Professional Development Coordinator Chose SignUpGenius I prefer the use of SignUpGenius as it is more user-friendly. I am not limited to 10 questions and then have to pay for additional features. While I do not like the additional feature payment, as we are a nonprofit, I will continue using the free services. Incentivized Helpful? Caitlin Stote M.Ed. Librarian Chose SignUpGenius SignUpGenius is much better. The volunteers can text reminders. The templates are beautiful and professional. I also appreciate that you can use passwords to protect your signup. Incentivized Helpful? Gayle Potter, IOM President Chose SignUpGenius We have not utilized other like products.

User Testimonials
	EventHQ	SignUpGenius
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	SignUpGenius is a great option for teachers and instructors looking to find a digital way to have their students sign up for anything that involves "slots," whether those slots are temporal/time-based (e.g., presentation days/times that are pre-scheduled), or whether they are more abstract (e.g., a limited range of subjects or topics that students need to pick from). Its free version is ad-supported, does not require registration, and operates primarily using links within emails for authentication, so while it isn't necessarily "secure," it is perfect for situations where the honor system is enough. Incentivized Ryan Eanes Assistant Professor of Instruction Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Post-sign up communications - allows for pre-event communication to specific rsvp types or to all respondents Post-event reporting - allows for export of signup information Easy to use - for our community, both management and volunteers use SignUpGenius to facilitate participation and planning for a wide variety of events and activities Incentivized RL Rosemarie Linder General Manager Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	I think an area that needs improvement is allowing for more than 5 slots at a time. I would like to see at least 10 offered instead of having to keep adding 5 at a time. Adding additional templates or templates in which you can just change a color selection would be great. Really utilize this for school PTO/Booster Clubs would be beneficial. Cater to them. Allowing for a 'cheaper' price than what you have for the souped up version would be nice as well. Incentivized Stacey Pagan Professional Development Coordinator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It is a great product that works efficiently for our needs Incentivized Gayle Potter, IOM President Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I don't have any feedback for support because I have not had to use support (if referring to IT support). If this question is in referral to support from other staff/company, then it has been received well in that sense. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We briefly used another sign-up website called "Bring the Cups."Needless to say, this website did not nearly offer the same amount of robust features as SignUpGenius did. Bring the Cups was streamlined and simple, but it bordered on simplistic. In all honesty, Bring the Cups did not nearly meet our needs the way SignUpGenius did. Consequently, I returned to using SignUpGenius as quickly as possible. Incentivized SC Steve Crawford Youth Pastor Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Students and even other staff love it! It improved the turn-around time from when I respond to student requests for academic coaching to setting up the intake meeting about 50%. Also, in the case that I respond quickly but the student is delayed several days, the link I sent is still live and always has relevant dates and times (whereas in the past, I would send a few days' worth of options and by the time a procrastinator looked at them, they were passed). It's an easy, mobile-friendly option that helps students to see that we're with it, not trapped in the stone age. That factors into their overall perception of our department, our services and our organization. Incentivized Becca Guler Learning Specialist Read full review
