In their own words
GalaBid
GalaBid combines auctions, raffles, event ticketing and donations in a single fundraising campaign. Participants open a campaign link in a browser on any device, without downloading an app. Silent auction options include automatic closing, winner notifications, overtime bidding, sealed bids and reserve prices. Raffles support electronic tickets, automated notifications and a certified random number generator for draws. Stripe processes payments, and GalaBid says campaign funds go directly from Stripe to the fundraiser’s bank account. Apple Pay and Google Pay are listed as participant payment options. The platform is intended for charities, nonprofits, community groups and individual fundraisers, with human fundraising support available seven days a week. The free plan allows optional participant tips, with 10% of tips shared with the cause. Pro (no tips) costs $4.90, paid once; Flat Fee costs $1,250 as a one-time purchase. Both have no tip prompts or revenue share. Displayed pricing varies by region, and uploaded files can be up to 8MB.
