I can either see bids on each item, but not what the reserve is or I can see the reserve but can't see what the bids are at. I don't want to have to download a report to see these details side by side. > > I would say it's been excellent. It's the 3rd time we've used it and it's been fantastic each time. Having the free (with tip option) this time has made the experience even better. ----- ### "Casino Night Success" — 5.0/5 > **Thesha** | *1 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \*Very easy to set up and customize auction items and raffles \*Helpful resource documents that make onboarding quick and smooth \*Responsive chat support available to answer questions in real time \*Unified platform for auctions, raffles, sales, and donations \*Pre‑registration option helped streamline some of the check‑in process Professional-looking platform that was user-friendly for guests > > **Cons**: \*In‑person registration took longer than expected \*Verifying emails at check‑in slowed down lines \*Guests who didn’t pre-register caused bottlenecks > > GalaBid made running our silent auction and raffle incredibly smooth. The platform was easy to set up and customize, and their support resources and live chat were very helpful. We loved having all our sales and donations flow through one place. Our only challenge was slower on-site registration for guests who hadn’t pre-registered, but overall GalaBid was an excellent tool that helped our event run successfully. ----- ### "Reliable, Efficient, Excellent Customer Service\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nico** | *21 January 2026* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity, reliability, and customer service truly set this apart. The interface is exceptionally intuitive and easy to navigate, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. The platform performs consistently and reliably, giving complete confidence that everything will work as expected. On top of that, the customer service is outstanding—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. Overall, an amazing experience across the board. > > **Cons**: At this time, there’s nothing that comes to mind. Everything has worked smoothly and met expectations, with no issues or concerns to note. > > We use them for all of our online auction campaigns and will continue to do so. A lot of other companies have red tape in getting ahold of someone for assistance; GalaBid does not. They are quick and helpful. ----- ### "GalaBid is a dream for small nonprofits looking to host digital auctions" — 5.0/5 > **Grace** | *17 November 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our organization had a fantastic experience using GalaBid for our virtual silent auction\! The campaign was incredibly easy to set up, and we appreciated the ability to provide multiple photos for each item and reorganize the order of the items on the campaign page. The interface is also aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate, both on a computer or mobile device. Bidding and payments were easy to manage for both bidders and admin, and the fee structure is unlike any other – it's such a wonderful tool for nonprofits to be able to maximize their fundraising while using such a helpful site. And, the customer support team is friendly and always available to assist\! We highly recommend GalaBid for any organization looking to host a digital fundraiser. > > **Cons**: We honestly did not encounter any difficulty with the site during our campaign. The only thing to note is that GalaBid does not automatically charge bidders to the pre-authorized card upon winning an item – that would have been a helpful feature to avoid the additional step for winners. > > GalaBid is a fabulous platform\! Highly recommend to any nonprofit organization looking to host a digital auction. The customer support, ease of use, and incredible fee structure make this the best fundraising platform out there. ----- ### "Smooth, Intuitive, and Perfect for School Fundraising Events" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *9 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GalaBid is intuitive, reliable, and well suited for managing a busy fundraising event. The bidding process is smooth and mobile-friendly, which encouraged strong participation. Donor and event management tools are clear and easy to use, making it simple to track items, payments, and communications. Team collaboration worked well, allowing multiple organizers to manage the auction efficiently. Customer support was responsive and helpful when questions came up, and overall the platform offered strong value - the participants covered the cost\! > > **Cons**: We experienced a small reporting issue related to the buy-it-now feature on auction items, where those purchases were not appearing in our reports. That said, when I reached out through the chat, support responded quickly, clarified that this was a newer feature, and explained that a fix was already in progress. > > Our experience with GalaBid was very positive. The platform made it easy to run an organized, engaging, and successful online auction from start to finish. Both the organizer and bidder experience felt smooth and well thought out, and having everything, bidding, donor management, payments, and collaboration, in one place made a big difference. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/131238/galabid?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/131238/galabid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
