A PerfectPotluck alternative that also runs volunteer shifts
Everything a potluck sheet needs - dishes, who is bringing what, one shared link - plus the volunteer schedules, capacity limits and check-in-grade registration that a potluck-only tool never grows into.
PerfectPotluck is focused and free, and for a single potluck it is hard to fault. The limit is its scope: it does one job, so the same group ends up running a second tool for volunteer shifts and a third for anything that takes money. Regify sign-up sheets cover the potluck case with the same low friction, then keep working for the nursery schedule, the festival setup crew and the ticketed banquet.
Where organizers run into limits with PerfectPotluck
- •Built for meals only - no volunteer shifts, jobs or multi-slot schedules
- •No path to collecting payment when an event needs it
- •Sparse organizer tooling beyond the sheet itself

Regify sign-up sheets are free, with no per-sign-up or subscription fee. Every sheet carries two sponsor cards for our own products, Regify and AttendanceNow - they pay for the free tier, which is how it stays free. We never run third-party ad networks. If you later need to collect money, that happens in Regify event registration at 1% + $0.50 per registrant plus standard payment processing (Stripe, currently 2.9% + $0.30).

Questions, answered
Can Regify do a meal train or potluck?+
Yes. Make one spot per dish or per date, let people leave a comment saying what they are bringing, and share the link. No account for anyone claiming a dish.
What does Regify add over a potluck-only tool?+
The same sheet handles volunteer shifts, jobs and schedules with capacity limits, so a group runs one tool instead of three - and it connects to real registration when an event starts charging.
Is it free?+
Yes, sign-up sheets are free with no subscription and no per-sign-up fee.
