Questions & answers
Is Many Hands really a one-time payment?
Yes. Pro is $14.99 once and unlocks unlimited tasks for life. There is no subscription.
Do volunteers need an account like on SignUpGenius?
No. On both tools volunteers just open a link, but with Many Hands they never see an account prompt, an app download, or ads.
Can I try it free first?
Yes. The free plan runs one active task with unlimited action items and volunteers, so you can see how it works before upgrading.
