When organizing volunteers for large events I used Volunteer Local. Online registration, search features, do it yourself options such as what fields volunteers need to fill out, confirmation emails, etc. Not sure cost because they were a partner of the org.

At the Bike Church, we use Google Docs and calendar for all these things. . . for better, or for worse.
It works great.

We and some other non-profits use Volgistics.  It's a somewhat
expensive but very powerful database.  It allows you to put signup
forms for volunteers online, schedule shifts online, email volunteers,
manage assignments and preferences, etc.  I find it to be a great
database for tracking volunteers and discriminating between different
types.

With Volgistics, volunteers can sign up to volunteer for particular
events or in general and can self-schedule all of their shifts online.
 Very helpful.
