Volunteer Impact by Better Impact

Volunteer Impact is well suited to organisations that must know who is qualified before offering a shift. The same record can connect an application, training and service history across a longer volunteer relationship. Its value depends on a clear account structure: map sites, administrator permissions and billable volunteer statuses before accepting the annual proposal.

Honest Limitations

Inactive volunteers can still affect the bill

The May 2026 billing guide counts Accepted and Inactive profiles. Applicants, In Process and Archived records are excluded. Reconcile statuses before renewal rather than equating the invoice with people currently attending.

Administrator and site controls vary by package

Foundation lists three administrators, Growth ten and Impact unlimited. Multi-site accounts, advanced permissions and data extraction need the appropriate package and an agreed implementation.

Some volunteers will need assisted onboarding

Sarah’s June 2026 Trustpilot account valued support for a programme exceeding 600 active volunteers, but said less confident users needed individual help. That is a dated experience, not an accessibility audit.

The public brand covers several products

Better Impact also presents other solutions, including Get Connected and client or member tools. Confirm that demonstrations, module charges and integration promises belong to the Volunteer Impact proposal.

Pricing Breakdown
Plan Price Details
Foundation Annual quote Core applications, schedules, hours and reports; three administrators listed.

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Invoices can combine the package, volunteer tier, sub-accounts and applicable taxes.
  • ! Member and Client modules are presented as add-ons; availability does not establish inclusion.
  • ! Mid-term upgrades are prorated; reductions in volunteer counts apply to the next invoice.
  • ! Clarify migration, optional screening, SSO and API terms, plus any services required to maintain them.
