3Comparing WWOOF, HelpX, and Workaway

The three main platforms connecting hosts and volunteers are WWOOF, HelpX and Workaway.

Platform overview

Platform Volunteering experiences offered Membership price Pros Cons
WWOOF Originally organic farms but now offering a wider range of opportunities. Pricing depends on the country’s platform – for instance – $57/per member and $89/per two members for WWOOF Canada / for WWOOF Australia it’s $70/per member and $120/per two members. Membership valid for 1 or 2 years (depending on the country). Not-for-profit organization. Membership fee used to support the mission and relevant programs. Many offers. If you want to work in several countries you will have to register on several WWOOF platforms. 
HelpX Opportunities in many industries and environments. €20 for a two-year membership. Many offers. Old. Not very user-friendly website design.
Workaway Opportunities in many industries and environments. €39/per member / €49/per two members. Easy-to-use website. More expensive. Many inexperienced hosts without any reviews.

All three platforms are popular and trustworthy.

Start by checking out the opportunities available for your region. Then sign up for the one whose hosts will be able to meet your requirements.
