Organisations move off VolunteerHub for cost, for fit or for geography. The published entry price suits a mid-sized American programme, but a small charity may need only rotas or hours. Others want a vendor in their own country, a phone-first app or a database with deeper screening records.
Short answer: Ranking order favours the challenger over the household name, so the best-known vendors begin at place 4 where the category allows it. For VolunteerHub users, the top three picks from our volunteer management ranking are Three Rings, TeamKinetic and Track It Forward. Pick Three Rings if you run rotas for a small British charity and want a vendor that is not-for-profit. Every one of the 11 products below comes from Best Volunteer Management Software in 2026, with a note on how it departs from VolunteerHub.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

01
Why buyers look past VolunteerHub
01
The entry price assumes a sizeable programme
VolunteerHub lists Plus from $143 a month and Pro from $288 a month, billed annually, plus a setup fee whose amount the pricing page does not give. Enterprise is quoted. A group that mostly needs a rota or logged hours may find the annual commitment large for the job.
02
Useful extras are separate add-ons
Liability waivers, kiosk check-in, single sign-on, group management and several integrations appear as optional modules on the plan pages. Background check and CRM links stay optional even on Enterprise. The first quote may therefore grow once you list what your programme really requires.
03
Limits are explained only on request
The pricing page does not state volunteer limits, admin limits or text message limits, and points readers to a phone number for details. Only inactive volunteers are described, as those unused for 12 months stop counting towards the user limit. Planning ahead means asking the vendor first.

What each one does differently

Three Rings
United Kingdom · Published
Three Rings is a community interest company, not an investor-backed vendor, and charges by organisation income: £145 or £225 plus VAT for 2025/26. Groups with income under £6,500, or in their first year, pay nothing. It centres on rotas, shift swaps, cover requests and duty reminders for helpline and branch charities.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you run rotas for a small British charity and want a vendor that is not-for-profit.
TeamKinetic is a British platform where volunteers browse opportunities and sign themselves up, which trims the coordinator's inbox. A free Community plan exists for small charities, with Essentials from £29 and Growth from £79 a month. Volunteer numbers never set the price. Vocabulary and integrations lean towards the UK.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you broker opportunities for a council, university or volunteer centre in the UK.
Track It Forward concentrates on logging hours: volunteers record time, coordinators approve it, and reports suit a funder or school. Groups of very small size pay nothing, and paid monthly tiers follow volunteer count. Recruitment, screening, shift management and messaging are left to other tools. Setup takes about a morning.
Switch from VolunteerHub if counting and approving hours is the only job you need done.
Volunteero was designed for the phone, so volunteers accept tasks, log visits and message a coordinator without training. British charities running befriending and community visits are the natural users. Pricing arrives as a quote tiered by volunteer numbers. The administrator side and reporting are simpler than at larger systems, and the vendor is small.
Switch from VolunteerHub if your volunteers work in the field and live on their phones.
Volgistics has served hospitals and museums for two decades and publishes its monthly price through a calculator based on volunteer records, operator accounts and modules. A 30-day trial is offered. The touchscreen sign-in kiosk and the portal with a mobile app are optional modules. The interface looks plain and the mobile experience is weak.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you want a low published monthly price and an on-site sign-in kiosk.
Deedmob is a Dutch platform whose customers are municipalities and corporate volunteering programmes, with data held under EU rules and multilingual screens from the start. Licences are annual and quoted. Its coordinator tools, especially screening records and detailed hour reporting, are lighter than the most thorough systems.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you need an EU vendor for a municipal or company volunteering portal.
SignUpGenius makes a Saturday rota in about ten minutes, and supporters sign up without creating an account. A free tier shows advertising to those supporters, and paid monthly plans are published. It keeps no screening records, no volunteer profiles and no hour history a funder would accept, so it fits small groups only.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you coordinate occasional events for a school or small group.
Better Impact holds the deepest records in the category: qualifications, screening status, availability, hours and custom fields. Three plans, Foundation, Growth and Impact, scale by volunteer count, admin accounts and add-on modules, and prices need a demo. It has owned Galaxy Digital's Get Connected since March 2026. Setup takes patience.
Switch from VolunteerHub if funders audit your volunteer records and you need screening data on file.
Galaxy Digital Get Connected lets a city or volunteer centre publish opportunities from dozens of agencies through one branded site, though single nonprofits, food banks and hospitals also buy it. Annual contracts are quoted, and the owner since March 2026 is Better Impact. A single charity may find it more machinery than needed.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you coordinate many partner agencies from one public portal.
Rosterfy comes from Australia and targets mass-participation events, with automated screening workflows, shift allocation, accreditation and reminder sequences for thousands of applicants. It is quoted per organisation on an annual contract. A charity with sixty regular volunteers would find it over-engineered, and a recurring event calendar is assumed.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you staff marathons or large games with thousands of applicants.
Bloomerang Volunteer began as InitLive, was bought in 2023 and now sits beside a donor database. It schedules on the day of an event, with mobile check-in and messaging. Published pricing starts at $119 a month, billed annually, set by records held, with unlimited users. Its value depends mainly on adopting the donor suite too.
Switch from VolunteerHub if you want volunteers and donors in one suite and run day-of-event schedules.
Three Rings: It is run as a community interest company and costs £145 or £225 plus VAT a year, free under £6,500 income.
02
You broker opportunities and want volunteers to self-select
TeamKinetic: A free Community plan exists, with Essentials from £29 and Growth from £79 a month, never priced by volunteer numbers.
03
You only need hours logged and approved
Track It Forward: Volunteers log time, coordinators approve it, and groups of very small size pay nothing.
04
You need an EU vendor for a municipal or company portal
Deedmob: It is Dutch, serves municipalities and corporate programmes, and holds data under EU rules.
05
A funder audits your volunteer records
Better Impact: It keeps qualifications, screening status, availability and hours; prices come after a demo.
04
When VolunteerHub is still the right choice
VolunteerHub remains a good fit for a US food bank or large charity that runs group sign-ups, waitlists and recurring events and already keeps donors in Raiser's Edge, Blackbaud or Salesforce, since the integrations make a volunteer visible as a donor. Pricing is published, onboarding is offered and admin training is included on every plan. If those CRM links are in daily use, replacing them costs more than the licence.
05
What moving off VolunteerHub involves
01
Export volunteers and history before you cancel
VolunteerHub keeps a volunteer database and hour records, and its data import and export is an optional module on the plan pages. Confirm in writing how much history you can take with you, and keep a copy of waiver records and hours that funders may ask about later.
02
CRM links and background checks need replacing
If volunteers are synced to a fundraising database or screened through Sterling Volunteers or PeopleFacts, the new tool must support the same provider. Map each connection first, then test with a small group before you move the whole roster.
03
Public sign-up pages change address
Landing pages and shared event links point to the old system. Update websites, newsletters and social posts, and tell regular volunteers the new login method before the switch date.
06
Questions about replacing VolunteerHub
6 answers
How much does VolunteerHub cost?
Its pricing page lists Plus from $143 a month and Pro from $288 a month, billed annually, plus a setup fee that is not stated. Enterprise is quoted on request.
Which VolunteerHub integrations would I need to replace?
Its pages list Salesforce, Blackbaud, Zapier, Sterling Volunteers, PeopleFacts, XMS, Omatic and Google Analytics. Check that your new tool supports the ones you use, because CRM and background check links are optional extras there.
Is there a cheaper option for a small charity?
TeamKinetic has a free Community plan, Three Rings is free below £6,500 income, and Track It Forward is free for very small groups. Each covers a narrower job than VolunteerHub.
Which alternatives come from outside the United States?
TeamKinetic, Three Rings and Volunteero are British, Deedmob is Dutch, Better Impact is Canadian and Rosterfy is Australian. Volgistics, SignUpGenius, Galaxy Digital and Bloomerang Volunteer are American.
Who owns VolunteerHub?
Its website footer reads copyright BetterGood, and our category record describes it as a BetterGood product. The pages we read do not explain that company's role further.
What if I only need hours counted?
Track It Forward lets volunteers log hours, coordinators approve them and reports go to funders. It leaves recruitment, screening and messaging to other tools.
