POINT** - Where I'd start if you're a small-to-mid-size org. It's one of the few platforms built *for* nonprofits rather than adapted to them, and 501(c)(3)s get a genuinely free tier (unlimited volunteers, shift scheduling, hour tracking, volunteer mobile app). Paid plans kick in around $49/month. Hard to beat for the money, and the volunteer-facing app means people actually sign up for shifts without you chasing them.\n\n**2. Better Impact** - The pick if your volunteers have varied skills and you need to match people to roles (medical credentials, languages, driving, background checks). Deep volunteer profiles, strong reporting, well-regarded in the sector for a long time. Starts around $420/year. Reportedly merged with Galaxy Digital in early 2026, so if you're evaluating Get Connected, check how the roadmaps have consolidated before signing anything multi-year.\n\n**3. VolunteerHub** - Best fit for larger programs - food banks, hospitals, big annual events, anything with hundreds-plus volunteers a year. Kiosk check-in, group registration, solid Blackbaud/Raiser's Edge integration. Priced a", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
