Our verdict on VolunteerMatters
VolunteerMatters is an online volunteer management platform for nonprofits and other organizations coordinating structured volunteer programs. It brings recruitment landing pages, project postings, custom application forms, onboarding requirements, self-signup scheduling, assignment management, communications, attendance, timesheets, hours tracking, training, feedback, and reporting into one system. Volunteers access a mobile-responsive portal on desktops, tablets, and smartphones to browse opportunities, manage schedules, complete onboarding tasks, and check in or out. It is best suited to larger programs that need formal compliance workflows rather than a lightweight shift calendar.
Pricing is organized around Growing, Professional, and Enterprise. Growing costs $239 per month or $2,390 per year and includes the mobile-responsive portal, attendance and time tracking, project management, automated reminders, and Zapier automation triggers. Professional costs $419 per month or $4,190 per year and adds scheduled reporting, text reminders and alerts, kiosk check-in/out, live chat support, and multi-tier administration. Enterprise adds APIs and webhooks, SSO/SAML, concierge support, multi-site distributed architecture, bulk license discounts, and custom development and policy consulting; pricing is quote-based. Setup fees are separate from subscription prices.
The platform’s strongest fit is an organization that needs volunteer records, screening, waivers, certifications, training, communications, and hours in connected workflows. Integration options include Zapier, Salesforce, Daxko, TractionRec, Wedge, Sterling Volunteers, and Intellicorp, with APIs and webhooks available at the Enterprise level. The trade-off is value for smaller teams: there is no free plan, the entry price is substantial, and the mobile experience is responsive web access rather than a dedicated iOS or Android app. Choose VolunteerMatters for compliance-heavy, multi-program operations; consider a simpler tool if the priority is low-cost scheduling or native mobile access.
