What Shift is
Shift is paid volunteer management software for coordinating, tracking, and reporting on volunteer programs. Organizations can post shifts, let volunteers sign up or manage schedules, and send response links or private invitations for single events. The service works on Android, iOS, and the web. Its mobile app records attendance and volunteer hours, while the dashboard supports email to one or many volunteers through tags. Reports cover attendance and hours, with data export and downloadable files. Shift is designed for organizations that may have one volunteer leader or a part-time coordinator. The maker says there is no limit to registered volunteers and that a volunteer site can be set up in as little as five minutes, with guided digital onboarding and expert follow-up. The dashboard has no ads. Shift costs $39 a month after a 30-day trial, with no limits to registered volunteers or features on the listed subscription.
