The best volunteer management software for engaging volunteers
Looking for an x2VOL Alternative?
We’ve Got You Covered.
We’ve recently heard from several schools — including NHS coordinators — that x2VOL is increasing prices by up to 35%, with some reporting per-student fees rising by as much as $7.50. At Helper Helper, we’ve kept our pricing consistent between $2.50 and $3.50 per student for high schools since the beginning.
There are no setup fees, onboarding costs, or hidden expenses. We even offer free data transfers, so when students log in to Helper Helper for the first time, everything they’ve worked toward is right there waiting.
If your school is re-evaluating its options, now’s a perfect time to make the switch.

“Our experience in switching from x2Vol to Helper Helper has been a game changer for our service work. Helper Helper has made posting and communicating service opportunities, verifying hours and tracking student progress easier in every way. Additionally, our students are more engaged in our whole process by using the app. It is much more approachable and simpler to use. Our students now know that they will receive consistent communication regarding service work and that we can and will easily hold them accountable through the verification system.”
