SignUpGenius and Grouperly.
SignUpGenius is a capable tool for organizing sign-ups. If your group needs its roster, messages, money and next year's plan in the same place as the sign-ups, here's how the two compare.

What SignUpGenius does well
- Sign-ups: its site lists "slot management, payment collection, automated reminders, and waitlists built in"
- Asking little of people: "Anyone you invite can claim a slot, register, or pay without creating an account"
- A wide range of uses, from volunteer scheduling to ticketed events and digital waivers
What to think about
- Is your problem one sign-up, or running the whole group?
- Do you want your roster, calendar, messages and jobs in one place?
- Will next year's leader be able to pick up where you left off?
Side by side
| What a group needs | SignUpGenius | Grouperly |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-ups for jobs and shifts | "Slot management" and "automated reminders" | Jobs and shifts on the event itself, picked when families RSVP |
| Waitlists | Built in, per its site | Grouperly doesn't have them |
| Digital waivers | Listed on its site | Grouperly doesn't have them |
| Ads | Paid plans add "the ability to remove ads from your sign ups" | No ads on any plan |
| Signing up without an account | "Without creating an account" | Yes for one event, from a link |
| Your roster and families | Not its focus | Parents and kids together, with messages, money and roles on the same record |
How to move

What to keep
- SignUpGenius for a one-off, or if you rely on waitlists or waivers

- You need waitlists or digital waivers.
