Proximatic event signups: free signup pages, no third-party ads and your organization’s branding.

You can appreciate a free signup tool and still be tired of its ads. The jobs, dates and volunteer list may be exactly what you need. Paying a subscription just to give people an uncluttered page is a different decision.

Proximatic includes ad-free event signup pages in its free core tools. Set the jobs, times and number of places, add your organization’s logo and colors, then share the event link. Volunteers can choose an open public shift with their name and email. Your roster and attendance tools are included too.

If you’re looking for SignUpGenius without ads, you have two useful options: pay for its ad-removal features, or move your next event to a tool that includes ad-free signups.

What SignUpGenius charges to remove ads

SignUpGenius has a capable free plan with unlimited signup pages and automatic confirmations and reminders. Ad removal belongs to its paid plans, with the number of ad-free signups depending on the tier.

PlanPer monthAd-free pages
Proximatic Free$0All
Silver$11.991
Gold$29.9910
Platinum$59.99Unlimited

SignUpGenius also offers annual billing: $107.89 for Silver, $269.89 for Gold and $539.89 for Platinum. These are the displayed annual totals, rather than monthly subscriptions. Prices checked November 6, 2026. See SignUpGenius’s plans and Proximatic’s pricing.

You also need to apply the SignUpGenius ad-free license to the signup. Its ad-removal instructions explain how to assign a license through Billing or the signup’s settings. When an event ends, you can move that license to another signup.

For a group running one event at a time, Silver may cover the need. If several committees have live signups at once, count those pages before comparing the price.

Why an ad-free page matters to the people using it

Two SignUpGenius users describe the tradeoff in individual Trustpilot reviews listing November 5 as their experience date. An anonymous reviewer liked the app but described repeated ads disrupting short tasks and said they were looking for another platform. Cape Fear Learning Collaborati appreciated the free option and design choices while objecting to popups and subscription costs.

What your next event looks like in Proximatic

Suppose you’re organizing a park cleanup. You need two people to set out supplies from 8:30–9am, followed by six people clearing the trail from 9–11am. Create those as separate shifts, each with its own capacity, so people can choose the work and time they can actually do.

Publish the event and share its link. On the public signup page, volunteers see the jobs and available places. For shifts open to everyone, they enter their name and email to reserve a place without creating an account. Their receipt provides a link back to their signup.

Your roster shows who chose Setup and who chose Trail cleanup. When the event starts, you can record attendance against that roster. You keep using the people and shifts you already organized.

The free time-slot signup guide shows the setup in more detail. If people’s plans change, Proximatic’s mobile signup controls let eligible guests change or cancel their shifts from their receipt.

Choose the tool for work you need done

Keeping SignUpGenius can make sense when your group likes its signup formats, themes and reminders and the appropriate paid plan solves your advertising problem.

Choose Proximatic when you want ad-free signups, your branding, shift capacities and attendance included free. Those are useful advantages for a school committee, club or volunteer crew whose budget needs to go toward the event.

Proximatic’s optional AI setup, extra organizer emails and Pro features have separate pricing. Creating your own event and sharing its signup page doesn’t require those upgrades.
