Signup sheet comparison
Both tools help organizers collect signups without passing around a clipboard. Wejoinin stays focused on the signup sheet. SignUpGenius has grown into a broader organizing suite that also covers payments, tickets, donations, and auctions.
SignUpGenius is a mature, widely used platform for online sign ups that has expanded well beyond the sheet to include ticketing, fundraising, and event-management tools. Wejoinin is a strong choice when the signup sheet itself is all you need — without building a larger event platform around it.
Wejoinin
Wejoinin includes a single free-form Comment field — participants can enter any open-ended note when signing up, but there are no additional custom fields.
SignUpGenius
Custom questions are plan-gated — 1 on Silver, 5 on Gold, 10 on Platinum, and unlimited only on Enterprise.
Wejoinin
Sends email confirmations and reminders to every participant.
SignUpGenius
Sends email reminders on all plans and SMS text reminders on paid plans (Silver 150 texts/mo, Gold 500/mo, Platinum 1,500/mo).
Wejoinin
Does not currently include a waitlist feature.
SignUpGenius
Automatic waitlist promotion on Gold and above — when a spot opens, the first person waiting is promoted automatically. Not available on signups that collect payments.
Wejoinin
Organizers cannot collect payments from participants directly on the signup sheet.

Wejoinin
A focused signup-sheet tool — create the sheet, share the link, collect signups.
SignUpGenius
A five-product organizing suite — sign ups, payments, tickets, donations, and online auctions — each with its own pricing model.
Your group needs a clean signup sheet — quick to create, easy to share, and simple for participants — with a free-form comment field, no participant-facing ads, and no event-management platform wrapped around a simple need.
Your group wants a broader organizing platform with SMS text reminders, automatic waitlist promotion, participant-facing payments (including on the free tier), ticketing, donations, or Zapier and API integrations.
Wejoinin keeps the center of gravity on the sheet: rows, columns, open spots, and a link your group can use without participant accounts.
Wejoinin is built for groups that want a streamlined, modern signup workflow without forcing a larger system around a simple need.

Yes, if a focused signup-sheet workflow is what you need. SignUpGenius is a broader platform; Wejoinin is intentionally simpler — with a free-form comment field, no participant-facing ads, and no surrounding event-management system.
No. Participants can open the shared sheet link and sign up without creating a Wejoinin account.
Not currently. SignUpGenius offers automatic waitlist promotion on its Gold plan and above — when a spot opens, the first person on the waitlist fills it automatically. It is not available on signups that collect payments.
On the free tier, yes — signup pages carry ads for free-tier organizers. Removing ads requires a paid plan. Silver removes ads from 1 signup page, Gold from 10, and Platinum from all signups.
