Is SignUp Really Free?

Yes — and There Is No Catch

Last Updated June 17, 2026

Yes, SignUp's Basic service is completely free. There is no trial period, no credit card required, and no limit on the number of SignUps you create, participants you add, or emails you send.

What the Free Plan Includes

  • Unlimited SignUps
  • Unlimited participants
  • Unlimited email notifications (invitations, confirmations, and reminders)
  • Available to groups of all kinds and sizes — schools, churches, sports teams, nonprofits, workplaces, and more

When You Might Want to Upgrade

Premium plans are available for organizers who need advanced tools — things like text reminders, waitlists, waivers, participant check-in, custom questions, and multi-organizer support. There is also a standalone ad-free upgrade if you just want a cleaner experience without any other Premium features.

Start free and upgrade only if and when you need to.
