Track It Forward alternative
Looking for a Track It Forward alternative with a modern UI?
Kangaroo Clock is the volunteer-friendly time tracker with kiosk, QR, and personal-link modes, without the bundled event scheduling.
Updated June 2026
What Track It Forward does well
Track It Forward is one of the only tools in the category that explicitly serves the nonprofit / volunteer-coordinator audience with flat pricing. The volunteer hours focus is genuine, the reporting is built around grant-style metrics, and the event-scheduling and RSVP features are useful if you run pre-scheduled volunteer shifts. If you've used it and your team likes it, there's no urgent reason to switch.
Kangaroo Clock vs Track It Forward at a glance
High-level capability comparison. For exact pricing and feature checklists, check Track It Forward's site, it stays more current than anything we'd cache here.
| Capability | Track It Forward | Kangaroo Clock |
|---|---|---|
| Target audience | Nonprofits, volunteer coordinators, schools. | Same audience plus restaurants, event organizers, tutoring centers, any small non-billing team. |
| UI / design | Functional but visually dated. | Modern, mobile-first, designed for tap-driven kiosk use. |
| Pricing model | Flat tiers ($12/mo up to 100 users, then scales). | Flat pricing (free at launch). Worker-count tiers will be wide bands, never per-seat. |
| Event scheduling / volunteer signups | Built in. | Out of scope. Integrates with GrasshopperSignup if you already use a signup tool. |
| Clock-in modes | Kiosk + personal login. | Kiosk + personal link + QR poster. |
| CSV export | Yes. | Yes, locked schema, distinct-worker count as a first-class metric. |
Where Kangaroo Clock fits instead
Track It Forward and Kangaroo Clock serve overlapping audiences, but the products approach the problem differently. Track It Forward bundles event scheduling and volunteer signups into the same tool as hours tracking. If you already run signups in a separate tool (Google Forms, SignUp Genius, GrasshopperSignup, Eventbrite, literally anything), you're paying for a feature you don't use.
Kangaroo Clock stays narrower: just hours, three clock-in modes, clean reports. We integrate with GrasshopperSignup for the signup half of the workflow, so you can keep whatever signup tool actually fits your volunteers and stop the duplication.
You should stay with Track It Forward if…
Stay with Track It Forward if you actively use its volunteer scheduling and RSVP features, if your team is happy with the current UI, or if you're past the worker count where Track It Forward's tiers make sense and switching costs aren't worth the upgrade.
Common questions
Can I import my Track It Forward volunteer hours into Kangaroo Clock?
Export Track It Forward's hours to CSV, keep it as your archive. Kangaroo Clock starts fresh from when you switch; there isn't a Track It Forward-to-KC migration flow.
Does Kangaroo Clock have volunteer signups?
Not directly, but we integrate with GrasshopperSignup. Paste a form's responses URL and we'll sync the volunteers into your roster.
How does Kangaroo Clock handle volunteer hours certificates?
We have a free certificate generator at /tools/volunteer-hours-certificate. For workspace-tracked hours, the CSV export feeds straight into your certificate template.
