Frequently Asked Questions

SignUpBreeze is a modern, mobile-first signup platform for organizers who need people to claim time slots — class parties, team snack rotations, church potlucks, community cleanups, and volunteer shifts of every kind. Create an event with time-based shifts, share a single link, and let people sign themselves up. No spreadsheets, no back-and-forth emails, and no ads.

Yes. The Free plan is free forever and needs no credit card — 3 active events at a time, up to 100 spots on a shift, automated reminder emails, and REST API access.

Paid plans are available now for organizers who need more. Starter is $9/month and adds co-organizers, custom sign-up questions, waitlist management, configurable reminders, and CSV export. Pro is $29/month and lifts the limits entirely. Both start with a 30-day free trial. See full pricing.

Yes. Starter and Pro both begin with a 30-day free trial. You enter a payment method to start the trial, and you aren't charged until the trial ends. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.

Go to your organization settings and open Billing. You can switch plans or cancel from there at any time. If you cancel, you keep full access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, and you can resume from the billing portal before then. Your events and registrations are never deleted when a plan ends — the plan limits simply apply again.

No. Volunteers sign up with just their name and email address. They receive a secure magic link via email to view and manage their registration — no password or account required.

A magic link is a secure, unique URL sent to a volunteer's email after they sign up for a shift. Clicking it takes them directly to their confirmation page without needing to log in. The link is cryptographically signed and tied to their specific registration.

Sign in to your SignUpBreeze account, go to your dashboard, and click "Create Event." Choose from a predefined template to get started quickly, or click "Start from scratch" to build your own. Fill in the title, description, location, and dates. If you chose a template, shifts are added automatically — otherwise, add them manually with time slots and the number of spots you need. When you're ready, enable the "Publish immediately" toggle to make your event live.

Share your event's public URL or QR code. Volunteers visit the page, pick an available shift, enter their name and email, and they're done. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.

Every event has a unique public URL (like signupbreeze.com/e/spring-cleanup) and an automatically generated QR code. Share the link via email, text, or social media, or print the QR code on flyers and bulletin boards.

Yes, on a paid plan. Starter includes up to 3 co-organizers and Pro is unlimited; the Free plan is built for a single organizer. Co-organizers can create and edit events and see who has signed up, so a committee can share the work instead of routing everything through one person. Invite them from your organization settings.

Yes, on a paid plan. Add custom sign-up questions — t-shirt size, dietary restrictions, phone number, whatever you need — and volunteers answer them while claiming their shift. Starter allows 3 questions per event and Pro allows 10. Answers appear in your dashboard alongside each registration and are included in the CSV export.

There's no password to forget. Enter your email address on the sign-in page and we'll send you a 6-digit code — enter it and you're in. You can also continue with Google or Apple. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset, and no password of yours for us to lose.

Yes, and it's included on every plan, including Free. The REST API lives at api.signupbreeze.com and lets you read your events, shifts, and registrations, and create, publish, and delete events and shifts programmatically. Signing volunteers up is intentionally left to the public event page.

Create API tokens in your organization settings. Tokens belong to the organization rather than to the person who created them, so an integration keeps working when someone leaves, and every token has an expiry date. Requests are rate limited, and paid plans get more headroom. Full reference documentation, including the current limits, is at docs.signupbreeze.com.

Yes. SignUpBreeze uses HTTPS everywhere and follows modern security practices. There are no organizer passwords to steal — sign-in is a one-time emailed code, Google, or Apple — and volunteer links are cryptographically signed and scoped to a single registration. We don't sell your data or your volunteers' data, and we never show ads. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

SignUpBreeze is a web app designed mobile-first. It works on any modern browser — phones, tablets, and desktops. There's no app to download.

Email us at [email protected] on any plan — questions, feedback, and feature requests are all welcome. Our documentation is also open to everyone.

On Starter and Pro you can message us directly from your organization settings and keep the whole conversation in one thread. Pro messages are triaged ahead of the queue.
