Choose the amount of organizing software you actually need.

SignUpGenius is a broad platform for scheduling, reminders, payments, forms, and fundraising. Pitch In Now is the smaller choice for one clear event list and the people pitching in on it.

Be honest about the tradeoffPitch In Now is calmer because it does less. SignUpGenius is stronger when the extra system is actually needed.

How it works

Choose based on what this event actually requires.

1
Start with the event
If the main job is filling a finite list, Pitch In Now may be enough.
2
Name the automation you need
If reminders, recurring schedules, payments, or waitlists are essential, choose the broader tool.
3
Protect the participant experience
Use the tool your people can understand quickly from the link you send.

Only need one clear list for this event?

Pitch In Now gives you the focused path without the broader organizing suite.

Good questions

Questions before choosing the smaller tool?

Is Pitch In Now a complete SignUpGenius replacement?

No. It replaces the simple event-list use case, not the full SignUpGenius suite.

Does Pitch In Now have automatic reminders?

Not today. SignUpGenius currently includes automatic reminders; Pitch In Now does not.

Can Pitch In Now collect money or forms?

No. Pitch In Now intentionally does not collect payments, donations, waivers, or general-purpose forms.

Can participants use either tool without creating an account?

Yes. Both products currently let participants respond without conventional account setup.

Your people are ready

If one clear event is enough, keep it that way.
