Best Deal for Charity Auctions
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.
CONSI wish you could edit photos with this software.

Great Auction Software for Events
We loved CAT and plan to use them again.
PROSOur 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.
CONSInvoicing 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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSAfter 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.
PROSBefore 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.
CONSInvoicing 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.
PROSIt'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!)
CONSI 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.
PROSI 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
CONSThe 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.

Easy for Even the Technically Challenged
Super easy. There are training videos and customer support is ready to help when needed.
PROSYou can set up and start your auction in under an hour.
CONSIf 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.
PROSDue 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.
CONSAt this time in our process, we have not noticed any flaws. Our testing environment has not noticed any inconveniences or concerns.
