Auctria vs Eventgroove Fundraising

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.

Eventgroove Fundraising is a web platform for nonprofits and other organizations running online, in-person, or hybrid fundraisers. Organizers can use it for raffles, auctions, crowdfunding, sales, A-thons, and sweepstakes, with peer-to-peer fundraising pages that participants can customize. Built-in promotion options include text-to-give, social sharing, email integration, and QR codes. For hybrid events, organizers can livestream in-person events while remote supporters bid or donate by text. Donation pages, including recurring-gift pages, have no service fee, though Stripe processing fees apply. Payments pass through the nonprofit’s Stripe account, with funds deposited within a few days. The platform accepts donations in 36+ currencies from donors in over 135 locations, and pages are optimized for mobile donors. It connects with Eventgroove Events for registration and membership data, and Eventgroove Products for printed fundraiser materials and merchandise. Its free Tip Pricing plan charges no service fee when donors skip the optional tip; auction items carry a 4.9% fee capped at $100. Campaign pricing is locked once a campaign goes live.
