One plan with full access, priced per organisation rather than per user: £49/month or £499/year, with local pricing in USD, EUR, CAD and AUD. Unlimited staff and volunteers, no feature tiers, and a one-month money-back guarantee. Zelos Pro is $99/month, so Volunteeria is cheaper at the paid tier. The difference is that Zelos also has a permanently free plan.

No. There's one paid plan, with a one-month money-back guarantee that makes the first month effectively free if you decide against it. The Zelos free plan is permanent, needs no card, and covers unlimited members and admins.

Zelos has native iOS and Android apps, free for everyone. That matters less for the app itself than for what it enables: a push notification when a shift is posted, a reminder before it starts, and chat in the same place as the work. Volunteeria is a responsive web platform that works well on a phone but has no app to push to.

In Zelos, yes. Each task has its own chat channel, and there are group chats and direct messages, all admin-supervised. Volunteeria has an inbox between admins and volunteers, so messages reach people reliably but everything routes through a coordinator. If two volunteers want to swap a shift between themselves, that conversation happens somewhere else.

Not in the way Volunteeria does. Zelos logs hours from shift start and end, reports planned against actual, and exports profiles and task data to CSV. Volunteeria lets you set custom reporting questions per task: money spent, people reached, items distributed, with dated answers, an audit trail on corrections and a structured Excel workbook. If your funding depends on evidencing outcomes rather than hours, that's a real reason to choose them.

No. Volunteeria has reusable onboarding programmes, staff-only internal checks, policy confirmations and digital signatures with dated records. Zelos assumes the people in your workspace have already been cleared and brought on board.

Volunteeria has a dedicated, permission-controlled safeguarding record with an append-only action trail, plus background check tracking with expiry warnings. Zelos has none of this. For a charity working with vulnerable people, that's a significant difference.

No. An email address is needed to join a workspace. Volunteeria supports code-and-date-of-birth sign-in with printable invitations, which is a better answer for digitally excluded volunteers.

Yes, in more than 40 countries, with a multi-language interface where each member picks their own, per-member time zones, and GDPR compliance by default from being built in Estonia. Volunteeria is UK-built, prices in five currencies and offers EEA hosting on request, so both work internationally.

There isn't one, but there are limits. The free plan includes unlimited members, unlimited admins, unlimited custom profile fields, full self-signup, built-in messaging, push notifications, gamification, smart targeting and CSV export. The caps are 25 concurrent active tasks, a 100-task archive and 10,000 chat messages.

Yes, and for some charities it's the sensible answer. Keep onboarding, agreements, safeguarding and funder reporting in Volunteeria, and run the week-to-week shift signup and team chat in Zelos where volunteers already have push notifications.
