Bidders are notified when they are out-bid which I think helped us to raise record amounts with this auction the past two years we have used ClickBid. Also, the amount of reports that are available post-event were really helpful to our accountant and the rest of the staff. > > We raised a record amount of money the past two years we used this software for our annual charity auction. Also the ease of using the software allowed us more time to concentrate on other things pertaining to the auction because we did not have to worry about the software working properly. ----- ### "Best on the market" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *9 January 2025* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. mass text messaging / emailing bidders 2. they added the scheduled drafts for texts/emails to bidders - thank you\! 3. consistently enhancing their product 4. support team is very responsive and helpful > > **Cons**: Biggest complaint is that we can't process payments for outstanding ticket or sponsorship sales the way we can for event sales. > > We're happy with it and have yet to find something better that fits our specific needs ----- ### "Great for small events" — 3.0/5 > **Eli** | *22 August 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's one of the most affordable event fundraising software out there. Their customer service is great-- they have a dedicated staff member assigned to you for the duration of your contract and for the day of your event at no extra charge. They also have a live chat feature for any questions. > > **Cons**: Their software is outdated, and several of its features are not very customizable and are limited. Its not very user intuitive and requires a lot of manual work to build a landing page and auction pages. > > for the price and the customer service, id recommend this for a small non-profit event, as it offers the bones of what is needed to run a successful small event. ----- ### "A great product for the price" — 4.0/5 > **Terry** | *17 August 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ClickBid is fairly easy to learn and is intuitive for the most part. > > **Cons**: The platform for online auctions was a little limiting to me. I would like it to have a little more robust offerings to the user. > > My overall experience with ClickBid was very positive. I used a few different online auction platforms, and this was among the top ones for me. ----- ### "Best auction ever\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jeb** | *7 July 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love using Clickbid. It was super easy to set up and for data-nerds like myself, fun to use. This was our first time doing our silent auction online. We almost doubled what our silent auction did the year before. > > **Cons**: The only thing I didn't like was I thought that the reporting could have been easier to understand. > > I loved it\! From ease of use on our end to ease of use on the donor end. Even when we go back to doing our event live, we will be continuing to use Clickbid. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/129772/clickbid?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/129772/clickbid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
