The tiered pricing model is a huge plus—it allows us to pay exactly for what we need without getting locked into expensive features we won't use. > > **Cons**: The only significant downside I encountered was the data migration process. Getting our existing data into the system from our previous platform was a challenge. If you are starting from scratch, the setup is seamless, but be prepared for some friction if you are moving over a large database. > > The support team completely makes up for it. Specifically, \[sensitive content hidden\] was incredible during our training and onboarding. She helped us navigate the initial hurdles and ensured we knew exactly how to get the most out of the system. ----- ### "Shift Reminders Through Text & New Jobs" — 4.0/5 > **Lindsay** | *06 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked working with \[sensitive content hidden\] because she was able to diagnose my problem quickly and present fast and efficient solutions. > > **Cons**: There was nothing that I didn't like, but what I struggled a bit with was that our use of the site might need to have some large changes in order to make quick fixes. The way we have our programs and events set up allow for some capabilities but act as an obstacle for others. > > I appreciated that my feedback was valued and that \[sensitive content hidden\] at VL was able to walk me through our processes and any concerns that I may have had. She was thorough and considerate of our experience. ----- ### "Thank you for your amazing customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Debra Buttler** | *13 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: That the consultants help this novice with EVERYTHING with a much more cheerful attitude than my younger family members\! > > **Cons**: Adding photos and documents should be just as easy as on Word. I would like a simple table of contents for each problem people encounter, click on it, receive solution (especially for those who have trouble remembering - the elderly volunteer coordinators)\! > > EXCELLENT Personal Supportive Encouraging Positive Friendly Informative Sensational Good sense of humor Intuiutive ----- ### "Excellent Support & Value" — 4.0/5 > **Taylor** | *16 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The functions to reserve blocks for volunteers as well as the volunteer experience have improved drastically in just my 6 months of use\! It's a gift to be able to keep our branding and also direct volunteers quickly to the most actionable steps. Also, \[sensitive content hidden\] newsletter with tips and tricks is the most helpful\! > > **Cons**: Some of the backend user interface has been clunky, but for the most part I'm extremely satisfied for the value. > > It was a bit of a learning curve for me in starting a new role, but my database nerd self delights in the opportunity to build things out beautifully and functionally now\! ----- ### "Highly Recommend VolunteerLocal" — 5.0/5 > **Judy** | *12 November 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user-friendliness of the database and the excellent customer service I have been afforded have made my first experience using a volunteer database a pleasure. > > **Cons**: I do not have any cons to share. If I have needed extra information or fields for my volunteers to provide more information, \[sensitive content hidden\] has enthusiastically reassured me they would be added. I have no complaints. > > I have been completely impressed and more than satisfied by the exemplary customer service and genuine care I have received from \[sensitive content hidden\], my VolunteerLocal liaison. She has been professional, sincere, patient, and careful to understand my needs thoroughly while guiding me through the volunteer database and process. The system was much easier to learn than I had anticipated which, along with \[sensitive content hidden\]'s guidance and suggestions, eased my angst. When I have had a question, she has sent me a brief video and instructions, detailing the answer. My event involves over 400 volunteers, hundreds of jobs and shifts, and a year's worth of planning; consequently, there have been issues requiring \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team to create new code to accommodate my needs. This type of customized care has proven invaluable. There has not been a single hiccup in the volunteer sign-up process, reducing the number of questions I have received from volunteers. I cannot recommend VolunteerLocal highly enough, and based on this experience, I will recommend VolunteerLocal to any company that utilizes a volunteer platform. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/122906/volunteerlocal?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/122906/volunteerlocal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
