What vHours is
vHours is paid volunteer management software for scheduling, service-hour tracking, reporting, and disaster response. Scheduling supports recurring shifts, capacity limits, waitlists, self-scheduling, group registration, and opportunity feeds. Volunteers can check in at kiosks or by mobile, while administrators can enter hours with an audit trail and export grant-ready reports. Included iOS and Android apps support shift browsing, signup, check-in, service history, waiver re-signing, and push notifications. Disaster tools include offline Volunteer Reception Center operations, driver's-license barcode scanning, badge printing, FEMA reporting, IVR check-in, and ICS integration. Listed integrations include Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Checkr, AuthentiGate, Gateway CMS, PantryWorx, ScheduleVITA, and AssistIQ, plus a REST API. API access is included on Agency and Enterprise plans. A 14-day trial requires no credit card. Starter costs $49.00 per month for up to 250 active volunteers and unlimited admins; higher plans support larger groups.
