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.

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.

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

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

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

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.

I wish you could edit photos with this software.

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.
