I thoroughly appreciate Gesture's frequent software updates. They are continuously in search of even better ways to improve upon the customer experience, which they communicate through their Gesture Innovation Center emails. I believe that they value customer opinions and implement suggestions, accordingly. As an event planner, other companies often approach me, but none offer the experience Gesture has given my clients over the years. Our account manager, Allie Erickson is on top of our every need, patient, accessible, friendly and helpful. Our on-site manager is thoughtful, communicative, professional and kind. The Gesture team is trustworthy, diligent and fully dedicated to their customers. Every year, our attendees highly rate Gesture in our post-event survey. We have remained loyal to Gesture for many years and will continue for many more to come. > > **Cons**: I would like to remain logged onto the system longer, but I understand that the system logs me off for security purposes. I really don't have any complaints. ----- ### "GiveSmart is great" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *October 13, 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fantastic customer service. Like, seriously, the best. Better than any other vendor we use. The product is loaded with features, most of which we take advantage of -- auction items, auction packages, raffle tickets, event tickets, paddle raises, donations, users, registrants, etc. It's very intuitive to use; not difficult to set up a new event; very thorough and reporting capabilities; easy to process credit cards and receive payments... > > **Cons**: The visual design is a bit bland. Could be more pretty. > > Fantastic. Highly recommended. ----- ### "Reliable fundraising platform that gives our donors a positive experience." — 3.0/5 > **Meredith** | *May 29, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the end it is possible to make a good landing site and webpages to help facilitate fundraising. The UI looks clean and modern and is reasonably easy to use for people coming to donate, bid on auction items or buy raffle tickets. > > **Cons**: The backend of the site is sometimes hard to understand. We only use the platform a handful of times a year and it often feels like we have to relearn each time we go in to set up a new event. > > It does let us run our fundraising events in an efficient way. People can participate whether they are in-person at the event or not which helps us raise more funds. ----- ### "Great customer support" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *November 26, 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the salespeople and the way thy helped you with anything you needed. This is the best customer support I've seen from all mobile bidding sites. > > **Cons**: My only negative is the price for small nonprofits. If it were more affordable, I would use them again and again\! > > I loved the platform and the interface. The customer service it fantastic - especially that they have people come out and help with your events that truly care about the nonprofit sector. They really went above and beyond to help us close the auction and get the data inputted correctly\! ----- ### "Virtual Auction Support & Success" — 4.0/5 > **Mindee** | *October 19, 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GiveSmart allows you to retain auction item and participant information from year to year, saving significant time on data entry. > > **Cons**: The label printing functionality needs to be expanded/further developed. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/119419/givesmart?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/119419/givesmart) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
