Best Deal for Charity Auctions

PROS

I like this software! It's easy and self-explanatory. I shopped around and the fees are the best ones around, especially for my non-profit's small annual auction. I like being able to copy the disclaimers/instructions to each item.

CONS

I wish you could edit photos with this software.

Great Auction Software for Events

We loved CAT and plan to use them again.

PROS

Our team used Charity Auctions Today for a black tie event. It was a great upgrade from previous software that we used. I liked that bidders were able to get automatic texts to their phones when they were outbid and how we could capture their credit ard information when they checked in. It really helped us streamline things. Also really liked the paddle raise option that displayed donations coming in in realtime.

CONS

Invoicing was a little tricky, but we were able to figure it out fine.

Easy to use auction software, but PAYMENT DATA FOR USER VERY UNSAFE

Overall the software was easy to use for the bidders and functional. But because of severe doubts that the payment data is safe and credit card information is stored correctly, this software cannot be recommended without hesitation at this point. The user MUST have the ability to EDIT/DELETE their credit card information after an auction if nothing was purchased.

PROS

The Silent Auction was easy to set up and it was very easy to use for the bidders, which is obviously the most important aspect from a fundraising perspective. All bidders were able to register and bid on items. The notification process when outbid works well.

CONS

After the auction is done, if a registered bidder who did not purchase anything would like to delete their payment info, like credit card information, so it cannot be used in vain, there is no effective way to do so. The helpdesk says there is, but the online knowledge base does not match the screens. And the deletion process is not possible if a prior bid has been placed, even though the bid was not binding (the last bid). In addition, after one auction is over, other online auctions are randomly offered to the user. Including messages that bids have been placed on users behalf, which is very disturbing!!! Helpdesk says: Bug.

Great Auction Software

We plan to use this software again this year.

PROS

Before our event, someone on customer service team called me and spent an hour walking me through the software and how to effectively use it on our event. I loved the card swipers to gather credit card numbers quickly. It was easy to input guest information and auction items. Price was very competitive as well.

CONS

Invoicing was a little confusing, especially when it came to those who wanted to pay via cash or check.

Charity Actions Anyday

Considering I was using it on behalf of a local nonprofit (for our joint actions) I think it fits needs of nonprofits that are focused on fundraising through auctions. Usually, if that is your main source of funding, you are accustomed to some more expensive products.

PROS

It's a simple tool that helps you get a solid reach -- bidders far beyond your regular attendees. Text message feature was by far my favorite (and impactful!)

CONS

I think it's pricey considering it's aiming at non-profits. Also, we would definitely need more customization possibilities; while there are some, we still feel like being put in a box.

Friends In Pink, Inc Review

I was very pleased with the software as were all of my users. Very simple to use.

PROS

I felt that the ease of use was great. In the event I had a problem I used the chat option and the question was answered in minutes. The software thought of anything that could go wrong and had a fix. I was very impressed

CONS

The only con was that when you needed to register, that prompt was not so easy to locate or read.

Reason for choosing Charity Auctions Today

Seemed like the software that would do what I needed it to do for my project.

Perfect for Non-Profits

Absolutely loved working with CAT. We hosted an online auction as a fundraiser for our company and CAT was perfect. Customer Support is top notch; [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] were outstanding!

PROS

Ease of set up, customer support, user friendly

CONS

Difficulty connecting to PayPal, but that's nitpicky

Easy for Even the Technically Challenged

Super easy. There are training videos and customer support is ready to help when needed.

PROS

You can set up and start your auction in under an hour.

CONS

If you don't have a good network to share your auction, it can be difficult to get items sold. Be sure to share with your friends, families, and co-workers. Ask them to share on their social media pages too.

Charity Auctions to the rescue

Our experience so far has been good and as expected. We were happy to find an application that we could use to help us conduct our auction in a safe manner.

PROS

Due to COVID we had to find an application to use for our online fundraising auction. This application seems easy to use, without a burden of pricey contracts or fees and it seems to be perfect for our organization. We will be fully deploying the application in about a month's time.

CONS

At this time in our process, we have not noticed any flaws. Our testing environment has not noticed any inconveniences or concerns.
