Every sign-up builds your list
People who sign up become members you can message, invite back and organize, not rows in a one-off sheet.
SignUpGenius is the easy way to fill volunteer slots. Gametime Hero takes the next step: the people who sign up become members you can reach, pay and invite back, with your own website and no ads on your pages.
Choose SignUpGenius if you need quick, free volunteer slots or potluck sign-ups. Choose Gametime Hero if those sign-ups are part of something ongoing: a club, a program, a nonprofit or a season, and you want members, payments and a website connected. SignUpGenius Payments is 5% + $0.50 per transaction; on $20 that's $1.50, versus $1.58 on Gametime Hero Basic with card processing included and $1.30 on Pro.
