WhenToHelp
WhenToHelp is online scheduling software for organizations coordinating volunteers. Coordinators can build recurring schedules, start from templates, and move shifts with drag-and-drop tools. AutoFill assigns shifts based on volunteer preferences and scheduling constraints. Volunteers can enter time preferences, request time off, take open shifts, and trade shifts through the Tradeboard. Email and text notifications can alert volunteers to schedules and changes. Schedules have configurable views and can be printed; schedule data export is listed as a Full Version feature. Schedules can also be viewed in Google Calendar and Outlook, with automatic export to both. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS, while its mobile version opens in a phone or tablet browser without a required app download. WhenToHelp Lite is free with limits of 250 volunteers, 100 shifts per week, and 18 months of past schedule information. The Full Version starts at $16 a month for 1–10 helpers. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card.
