Vome

Vome is volunteer management software for organizations coordinating recruitment, onboarding, shifts, and hours. It is strongest for teams with structured intake and varied attendance needs; the free plan offers a way to start, while paid pricing is tied to administrative seats.

Overview

Vome brings volunteer applications, onboarding sequences, scheduling, hour tracking, and messaging into one system, with web access and free-to-download iOS and Android apps. Unlimited volunteers on every plan is useful for organizations with large rosters, but it does not make paid plans unlimited in cost: those plans charge per active administrative seat, and higher tiers require minimum seat counts.

Key features

Recruitment and onboarding

Application forms can use custom questions, file uploads, e-signatures, and embedded shift calendars. That gives organizations a way to collect applicant information and connect recruitment with shift options. Onboarding sequences can combine forms, fillable PDFs, signatures, training modules, checklists, and uploads. This is a meaningful advantage for organizations with repeatable intake requirements, though the free plan limits teams to one form and one sequence.

Scheduling and hour tracking

Vome supports one-time and recurring shifts, self-booking, group reservations, and calendar syncing with Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Hours can be recorded through volunteer claims, QR-code check-in, attendance kiosks, or automatic logging based on scheduled shift times. The choice of methods suits organizations with different attendance workflows; teams needing only a basic roster may not need this breadth.

Integrations, security, and support

Listed integrations include Salesforce, Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, Sterling Volunteers, SCORM Cloud, Verified First, and Double the Donation. API integration and custom webhooks are reserved for Ultimate, so organizations that need those capabilities must budget for the highest tier and its five-seat minimum. Vome describes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, and AWS hosting with high availability, redundancy, and continuous monitoring. It says it follows HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA, and PCI DSS frameworks. Support includes a FAQ and knowledge base, email and technical support, and onboarding sessions depending on plan.

Pricing

Recruit is free, billed Forever free. It includes unlimited volunteers and admin seats, but is capped at one application form, one onboarding sequence, and 35 default database fields. This is the lowest-commitment fit for a small team willing to work within those limits.

Pro is $45 a month per admin seat, billed annually or monthly, with unlimited volunteers, forms, and sequences. It suits teams that have outgrown Recruit’s workflow caps. Enterprise is $65 a month per admin seat, billed annually, with a three-seat minimum; Ultimate is $80 a month per admin seat, billed annually, with a five-seat minimum. Both include unlimited volunteers, and Ultimate includes API integration and custom webhooks. The minimums make those tiers a more substantial commitment for small administrative teams. Vome also offers a 30-day trial.

Platforms

Vome runs on the web and has iOS and Android volunteer apps, which are free to download for all users.

Who it's for

Vome serves hospitals, membership associations, NGOs, community centres, food banks and shelters, municipalities, schools, universities, and businesses. Its workflow breadth is most compelling where volunteer intake, scheduling, and hours need to be managed together; organizations with few administrators can benefit from unlimited volunteer capacity, while those needing paid features should weigh per-seat costs and tier minimums.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Every plan includes unlimited volunteers, avoiding a volunteer-count ceiling as a roster grows.
• Pros: Multiple scheduling and hour-recording methods accommodate recurring shifts, group bookings, self-service, and different attendance practices.
• Cons: Recruit limits forms, sequences, and default fields, which may constrain organizations with more involved intake.
• Cons: Paid plans charge per active admin seat, and Enterprise and Ultimate require at least three and five seats respectively.
• Cons: API integration and custom webhooks require Ultimate, the highest-priced plan.

Verdict

Vome is a strong choice for organizations that need structured volunteer intake, flexible scheduling, and several ways to track hours while keeping volunteer counts unrestricted. Its main drawback is the administrative-seat model: teams that need paid capabilities, especially API access, should compare the per-seat price and minimums with their staffing needs before committing.
