SignUpGo vs MyConferenceTime: Why Schools Are Switching

MyConferenceTime has dominated the parent-teacher conference scheduling market for years. But being the first doesn't mean being the best. Their platform is showing its age, and schools are discovering that SignUpGo offers everything they need - and more.

SignUpGo isn't just for conferences - it's a complete school event management platform that handles everything from PTC to fundraisers to volunteer coordination.

The Price Reality Check

Let's look at what MyConferenceTime actually costs:

**MyConferenceTime**: $2.50 per teacher per year for basic scheduling. But that's just the beginning. Add-ons for advanced features, custom branding, and integrations can easily double or triple your costs. A school with 50 teachers could pay $500+ per year just for basic conference scheduling.

Beyond Just Conferences

Here's where SignUpGo really shines:

MyConferenceTime does one thing well: parent-teacher conferences. But schools need so much more. What about volunteer coordination? Fundraisers? Event ticketing? School store management?

Feature Comparison

Let's compare the features that matter:

**Mobile Experience**: MyConferenceTime has a basic mobile version, but it's clunky and often breaks on newer devices. Parents frequently complain about booking issues on mobile.

**Integration Capabilities**: MyConferenceTime offers limited integration options. Most schools end up manually transferring data between systems.
