Pricing FAQs
Which volunteers am I billed for?
There are five different statuses a volunteer could have in the software: Applicant, In Process, Accepted, Inactive or Archived. You are ONLY billed for two out of the five statuses: Accepted + Inactive (think of Inactive as an “on leave” status for volunteers who are on a temporary break).
Is billing monthly or annually?
Annually.
What if my number of volunteers goes up once I start using Volunteer Impact?
Nothing will change in your software if your volunteer count exceeds your subscription level unless it is substantial over a short period of time. When it is time to invoice you again the following year, it will be based on your then current number of billable volunteers.
Do you offer discounts for nonprofits?
Pricing is already geared to the nonprofit sector as our clientele are predominately from this sector.
