Volunteer troops usually are contrasted to conscripts not to professionals. The United States for example fields an all volunteer professional military ever since the end of the Vietnam war. Unpaid troops are usually militias, and they can be contrasted to professional troops. That said militias often provide stipends or some form of compensation.
