Signup sheet comparison

Wejoinin vs. SignUpGenius

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.

Why people compare these tools

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.

01. Head-to-head comparison

01 Custom sheet fields

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.

02 Participant reminders

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).

03 Waitlists

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.

04 Payments from participants

Wejoinin

Organizers cannot collect payments from participants directly on the signup sheet.

SignUpGenius

Any organizer can collect participant payments on every plan. The free tier charges 5% + $0.50 per transaction. Separate ticketing and donation products are also available.

05 Participant experience

Wejoinin

Participants sign up from the shared sheet link without creating a Wejoinin account.

SignUpGenius

Participants sign up without creating an account. Ads appear on free-tier signup pages; ad-free pages require a paid plan (1 signup on Silver, 10 on Gold, unlimited on Platinum).

06 Organizing scope

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.

03. Common questions

Is Wejoinin a good alternative to SignUpGenius?

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.

Do participants need a Wejoinin account?

No. Participants can open the shared sheet link and sign up without creating a Wejoinin account.

Does Wejoinin have waitlists?

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.

Does SignUpGenius show ads on signup pages?

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.
