The user-friendly interface made it easy for guests to participate, and the real-time updates kept everyone excited and involved. The customer service was top-notch responsive, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend GalaBid for any event looking to elevate their fundraising efforts with professionalism and ease. An outstanding service that truly delivers\!
> 
> **Cons**: I had a generally positive experience with GalaBid, but one aspect that could be improved is the payment process. Specifically, using Stripe for transactions was not ideal for our organization.
> 
> Overall, my experience with GalaBid was very positive. The platform is intuitive, engaging, and effectively enhanced our event's fundraising efforts. The customer service was responsive and attentive, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. While the payment process via Stripe was a bit cumbersome for our organization, it did not significantly detract from the overall experience. I would definitely recommend GalaBid to others looking for a reliable and user-friendly fundraising solution. We look forward to using it again for future 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

### "Silent Auction on GalaBid Platform" — 5.0/5

> **Heather** | *August 4, 2024* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Overall excellent and received many positive comments from supporters.

### "School Art Auction" — 5.0/5

> **Kim** | *December 2, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the online chat is excellent. the reporting features afterwards are great and the online auction features like all the extra details you can tweak and the comms functions are also excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't see the reserve and current bid in my back end view.  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.
