## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. POINT** - Start here if you're a small-to-midsize nonprofit. The Core plan is genuinely free for 501(c)(3)s (unlimited volunteers, admins, and events) and includes shift scheduling, hour tracking, and a real volunteer-facing mobile app. Most orgs under ~200 active volunteers never need to pay for anything more.
> 
> **2. Better Impact** - The strongest pick when volunteer *matching* matters: detailed profiles, skills/availability/interest-based assignment, qualifications and background-check tracking. It merged with Galaxy Digital in early 2026, so the two product lines are converging - worth asking a rep directly what that means for your roadmap before signing. Custom quote only.

> **3. Bloomerang Volunteer** - The right answer if you already use Bloomerang CRM or want volunteers and donors in one database. Volunteer-to-donor conversion is a real pipeline and most standalone tools can't see it. Roughly $119/month billed annually, scaling by volunteer count (~$1,400/yr at the low end, ~$4,000/yr at 2,000+ volunteers).
> 
> **4. VolunteerHub** - Best for large, high-volume, recurring programs - food b
