Platform looked great from a user perspective. Had multiple options set-up for raising money on the night - live auction, silent auction, raffle and donations. > > **Cons**: As we didn't budget for full assistance setting up and it was my first timing using the platform, I did miss some items that should have been done before the event, but nothing critical and I'm aware of how those should be set for the next event that requires a platform like this. The auction closed early on the night (could have been a timezone problem as we were in a different state), so would make it a manual close next time to avoid any potential error. > > Great product, easy to use and helpful customer service. Very quick to help when I had a question and the Live Chat on the platform meant there was always someone around to help. I was nervous on the night being a first time user, but it went smoothly. Great investment for a slick charity auction\! ----- ### "I enjoyed using this software" — 4.0/5 > **Danika** | *August 5, 2021* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software had all the features that we needed. Some functionality was a bit clunky for our needs and integrating with live auctioning. > > **Cons**: I found that various lists, items, etc were a bit "buried" and hard to navigate to. We used this with a live element and it was a challenge to utilize it for live updates with the way it was set up for us. > > I love that these kind of solutions exist\! I'm sure it will be a good fit for many events. ----- ### "3 times more money raised then last year with GalaBid" — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *January 15, 2026* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything and it was Free and easy to get going plus they have great sealed bid items to help you raise more money for your cause. > > **Cons**: There was nothing I liked least since the dashboard has everything you need from uploading items with pictures to once closed easy payment platform for all participants > > It was my first time using a online platform, was skeptical at first since silent auction used to be on paper but wow big different so much easier and less work once closed off, if people leave Galabid has all the info to follow up ----- ### "Great Auction Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *December 8, 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GalaBid was very easy to use, intuitive for both administrators and participants, and the service team responded quickly whenever we needed support. It made managing our auction smooth and efficient. > > **Cons**: The projector display setup was a little challenging to figure out at first, but once we understood how it worked, everything ran smoothly for the event. > > Our overall experience with GalaBid was very positive. It provided exactly what we needed for our auction, was easy for our team to learn, and offered great value for the cost. We would definitely use it again. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2000295/galabid?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2000295/galabid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
