Why Is It Free?

Volgistics is cheaper than most, $1,100–$3,600+ a year, but you’re paying for a database with an interface from another era. Serve.Love is free: every feature, no per-volunteer fees. If you want a bare-bones, long-established volunteer database with decades-deep hour reporting and nothing more, that’s Volgistics’s niche; for most, free and modern wins.

Not a weekend project: a United Way Social Innovation Grant winner, and the platform that ran our town’s tornado disaster relief, coordinating 680+ family events when it mattered most.

Questions We Hear

Serve.Love is free and Volgistics is cheap: what's the real difference?

Volgistics is inexpensive, but you’re paying for a database with an interface from another era. Serve.Love is free and modern: AI event creation, geofencing hour tracking, and events embedded on your own website, none of which Volgistics offers. We only start charging once your program grows to real scale, the kind that needs a full-time coordinator on payroll.

Can you really match Volgistics's features?

We match what most programs actually use and add AI, geofencing, and mobile-first admin on top. If you genuinely need Volgistics’s decades-deep granular hour reporting sliced fifteen ways and the dated interface doesn’t bother you, that’s their niche. For most nonprofits, we cover everything you need.

Can we migrate from Volgistics?

Yes. Export your volunteer database from Volgistics and we'll import it with historical data, and have you operational within days. Or paste us your website and we'll set it up for you.

Why haven't we heard of Serve.Love before?

A tornado hit our town in the middle of building this software. We spent a year pivoting to disaster relief, coordinating 680+ family events, before returning to the product. We're not a VC-funded marketing machine. Organizations that find us and compare directly tend to switch.
