Auctria vs BidPro

Auctria is an event fundraising platform for managing auctions and fundraisers from donation intake through receipts and bidding. It supports silent, live, and online auctions, mobile bidding, raffles, ticket sales, sponsorships, and paddle raises. Each event can have a website built from a template or customized core template, with branding, images, and video. Payments can be processed through Stripe or Authorize.Net, while cash and checks can also be recorded. Optional Admin and Bidder mobile apps support guest check-in, checkout, sales and bid recording, mobile bidding, and alerts. Auctria offers more than 100 customizable report templates and filters, and event data can be exported for CRM use. Its Automations feature uses Zapier for event-triggered notifications to tools such as Slack, Gmail, and Google Calendar. The free Explorer plan allows $10,000 annual income, 250 bidders per event, and three team members. Emerald costs $375.00 per year, and Diamond costs $750.00 per year. Texting is available only in the United States and Canada.

BidPro is a white-label online auction platform for auctioneers who want to run auctions on their own branded websites. It supports live, virtual live and timed auctions, with livestreaming that BidPro describes as having sub-second latency and says can connect to third-party platforms. Its AI cataloguing tool can generate lot titles, descriptions, estimates, opening bids and bid increments from photos. Auctioneers can import catalogues from Excel and match bulk-imported photos to lots using barcodes. Bidders can pre-bid or use automatic and absentee bidding, while increments can be configured to respond to bidding patterns. Auctioneers can require documents at registration and approve bidders before they participate. Marketing options include custom SEO tags and keywords, Google Analytics tags, and contact exports for bulk email or SMS providers. There is a free Bidder plan and a free trial. Pay As You Go is $65, paid once, with a 0.5% to 0.25% commission, excluding VAT; Monthly Contract is $750 a month, excluding VAT. The signup guide says charges depend on subscription type and users set up payment details with BidPro's payment provider.
