About GalaBid
GalaBid is an online fundraising platform which is used by fundraisers to facilitate silent auctions, raffles and donation campaigns.
GalaBid is optimized for live events and standalone, online-only campaigns. It’s available to everyone from individual fundraisers to organizations including non-profits, schools, and sports clubs.
Some of its handy features for live events include leaderboards, notifications via text message and volunteer accounts to assist event guests with registration, bidding and making payments.
With GalaBid, fundraisers receive their funds raised directly. Fundraisers simply connect an existing Stripe account or create a new one from within the GalaBid dashboard. Fundraisers also have the option to ask supporters to cover the transaction fees charged by Stripe.

Packed with features, our platform is easy to use with no specific training or prior technical knowledge needed. And if you need any extra help we have a range of support services on hand, including extensive online video guides and a live chat team.

It's hard to beat free, so that's good, and customer support was responsive and knowledgeable. Needs a minor tweak, but I'll use it again.
Pros
Overall I found the Galabid software easy to use. The automated checkout feature was handy.
Cons
There needs to be two post-auction screens - one a concise list of everything that did not sell and another that lists everybody who bought something and what they purchased.

Overall excellent and received many positive comments from supporters.
Pros
Easy to use, provided bidders with instant information on their bids, whether or not they were outbid, what amount to bid next. Everything was clear and straightforward. Easy to add auction items.
Cons
Setting up the billing trough Stripe. Sometime the URL did not work properly and people had to add half of the link.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is amazing and always really helpful. We love using Galabid each year for our Gala Dinner. The guests really enjoy using it and it is a very simple piece of software to use.
Pros
Very easy to use
Great video tutorials when you need help
Easy to set up
Great functionality and ability to incorporate Live and Silent Auction items
Cons
It is expensive. Our event is a Gala Dinner to raise funds for the young people we support, and the Galabid bill is always the biggest bill for us. I am able to get discounts and free donations for everything else.

For a small non-profit that cannot afford higher end online auction/fundraising platforms, GalaBid was the perfect solution. We chose to pay GalaBid a small percentage of our receipts which was very economical and well worth the money. Easy to set up, had no issues with bidders downloading or utilizing the platform. Currently considering utilizing their donation option as well.
Pros
GalaBid was economical for our small non-profit community theater. It was easy to setup on the administrative end. Ease of use for auction bidders.
Cons
GalaBid requires an account with Stripe. It was easy to create an account and enter bank information for payment. It was just one more step to setup. Not a deal breaker by any means as once set up, everything worked smoothly.
