Vome

Vome is volunteer management software for organizations that need coordinated intake, shifts, attendance, and volunteer communication. It will suit teams with structured onboarding and multiple ways to schedule or record hours. Its broad workflow and unlimited volunteer capacity are strong; paid costs rise with administrative seats.

Overview

Vome connects application forms and onboarding sequences with shift booking, hour tracking, and messaging. That makes it a practical fit for organizations that want more than a roster and sign-up calendar: intake steps and attendance can be managed in the same system. All plans allow unlimited volunteers, so roster growth does not itself increase the plan cost. Paid plans instead charge per active administrative seat, an important distinction for organizations with many staff managing volunteers.

Key features

Recruitment and onboarding

Application forms can collect custom answers, files, and e-signatures, and can include shift calendars. Onboarding sequences support forms, fillable PDFs, signatures, training modules, checklists, and uploads. Together these tools support repeatable intake and training; they may be more than a small group needs if its process is limited to collecting names and assigning shifts.

Scheduling and hour tracking

Organizations can offer one-time or recurring shifts, allow self-booking, accept group reservations, and sync calendars with Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Hour records can come from volunteer claims, QR-code check-in, attendance kiosks, or automatic logging against scheduled shift times. This range gives teams options for different attendance processes, rather than forcing every organization into one check-in method.

Mobile, integrations, and safeguards

Volunteer apps for iOS and Android are free to download for all users, alongside the web platform. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, Sterling Volunteers, SCORM Cloud, Verified First, and Double the Donation. API integration and custom webhooks require Ultimate, so teams that need those connections should factor in the higher-tier plan and seat minimum.

Vome describes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, and AWS hosting with high availability, redundancy, and continuous monitoring. It says it follows HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA, and PCI DSS frameworks. Support includes a FAQ and knowledge base, email and technical support, with onboarding sessions dependent on plan.

Pricing

Recruit is free, billed Forever free. It includes one application form, one onboarding sequence, 35 default database fields, unlimited volunteers, and unlimited admin seats. This is the natural starting point for a small organization or a team evaluating the workflow, but the one-form and one-sequence limits constrain organizations with multiple programs or intake paths.

Pro is $45 a month per admin seat, billed annually or monthly. It includes unlimited volunteers, forms, and sequences, making it the step up for teams whose intake needs exceed Recruit. Because the charge is per seat, the total depends on the number of active administrators.

Enterprise is $65 a month per admin seat, billed annually, with a minimum of 3 seats. Ultimate is $80 a month per admin seat, billed annually, with a minimum of 5 seats; API integration and custom webhooks are included with Ultimate. These minimums make the higher plans a less natural fit for small teams, even though volunteer counts remain unlimited. Vome also offers a 30-day trial.

Platforms

Vome runs on the web and has volunteer apps for Android and iOS. The mobile apps are free to download for all users, so volunteers can use mobile access without a separate app download charge.

Who it's for

Vome names hospitals, membership associations, NGOs, community centres, food banks and shelters, municipalities, schools, universities, and businesses among the organizations it serves. Its combination of structured onboarding, flexible scheduling, and varied attendance tracking is most compelling for teams with recurring volunteer operations. A group that needs only basic scheduling may find the Recruit limits adequate, while a team requiring extensive workflows or API connections should compare paid-seat costs against its administrator count.

Pros and cons

Pro: Unlimited volunteers on every plan avoids tying cost to roster size.

Pro: Forms and onboarding sequences support files, signatures, and training as well as basic data collection.

Pro: Multiple shift and hour-recording methods accommodate different volunteer operations.

Con: Recruit permits only one form and one onboarding sequence, which can be restrictive for organizations serving distinct programs.

Con: Paid plans scale by active administrative seats; Enterprise and Ultimate also require at least three and five seats, respectively.

Con: API integration and custom webhooks are confined to Ultimate, the most expensive listed tier.

Alternatives

For a direct comparison, see Volunteer Scheduling Software, Nonprofit Volunteer Management Software, and Event Volunteer Management Software.

POINT is another freemium option with a free plan, free trial, and Android, iOS, and web access; consider it if you want to compare another free volunteer-management offering.

VolunteerMark offers a free plan for up to 50 volunteers and one administrator, plus a free trial and mobile and web platforms. It may suit a smaller roster that can work within those caps.

SignUp.com has a free Basic plan limited to one primary organizer, one custom participant question, and one group page. It is worth considering when those limits match your needs.

Volunteer Scheduler Pro is a paid alternative with a free trial and Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows support; its price depends on edition and volunteer count.

Church Volunteering offers a free web plan capped at one team and 10 volunteers, making that cap a key distinction from Vome's unlimited-volunteer plans.

Volgistics is a paid option with a free trial and a base service for 50 volunteer records at $9 a month; it may be relevant when that record limit fits your operation.

VolunteerLocal is a paid alternative with a $200, paid once single-event plan, two admin seats, and 10,000 SMS per year in the US and Canada. Consider it for a single-event setup.

Charity Republic has a paid plan at $25 a month for fewer than 250 volunteers, with free setup and training and no archived-volunteer charges; it may suit organizations within that roster range.

Verdict

Choose Vome if your organization needs structured volunteer intake alongside flexible scheduling and hour tracking, and wants volunteer capacity that does not rise with roster size. Its main appeal is the breadth of that workflow, including free mobile apps. Look elsewhere if your team has many administrators but needs a low total cost, or if you require API integration without meeting Ultimate's five-seat minimum.
