Key Differences
Event-Focused vs. Ongoing Programs
Rosterfy excels at large one-time events with complex scheduling. Serve.Love is built for ongoing volunteer programs like food banks, shelters, and weekly service where you need consistent engagement over time.
Waivers: Included vs. Add-On
Rosterfy charges extra for liability waivers and document signing. With Serve.Love, smart waivers are included in every plan. Legal protection shouldn't be a premium feature.
Portal vs. Embedded
Rosterfy uses their own portal for volunteer signups. Serve.Love embeds directly on YOUR website, keeping volunteers on your brand and giving you the SEO benefit.
Manual vs. AI-Powered
Rosterfy requires manual event setup. Serve.Love uses AI to create complete events from a simple description. 60 seconds from idea to published.
