Volunteer Scheduling Software
Build a full month's schedule in minutes — not days of phone calls and spreadsheet juggling. Flat pricing, month-to-month, and a free tier that actually lets you run a real schedule.
Other scheduling tools start at $45–50/mo with per-volunteer add-ons and multi-month commitments. We start at $0.
No survey. No commitment. Cancel anytime.
Other tools charge a base fee — then add a per-volunteer fee on top. As your organization grows, so does your bill. Servus Bonus is flat. Always.
Servus Bonus is built to handle the things that actually drive coordinators to switch tools.

Three places where we didn't just match the competition — we rethought the problem entirely.
Your bill doesn't change when you add a new volunteer. No per-seat math, no surprise add-ons, no lock-in. The price you see is the price you pay — no matter how many people show up to serve.
When a volunteer can't make it, every eligible substitute is notified simultaneously. First to accept claims the slot — confirmed, validated, done. No phone tree, no group text, no coordinator in the middle. Hundreds of coverage emails, eliminated.
Three third-party processors: Stripe, Google Analytics, Sentry. No CRM. No email marketing platform. We do not use your volunteer data for advertising — and we never will. Questions? Email us — real responses, not bots.
Volunteer data is sensitive. We think the legal fine print deserves the same scrutiny as the feature list.
