They are knowledgeable and help you succeed. Quick responses anytime I had a question. Cons I wish they had a built in duplicate checker for donors who register twice. You have to run a report that shows you duplicates but it would be nice to check for duplicates without running a report. Reason for choosing OneCause price of product Switched from [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) More control over the auction site and price of product Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) July 24, 2020 Christal, Thank you so much for taking the time to share a review for us!

Overall, OneCause has made running our fundraising auctions smoother, easier, and more successful. Pros The platform is user-friendly, both for our team and our bidders, and the online auction and mobile bidding features have noticeably increased our event revenue. Their customer support is responsive and helpful, which gives us a lot of confidence on event day. Cons My main frustration is that it isn’t easy to share or carry over information from one event to another within the platform. Alternatives considered [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) Reason for choosing OneCause Main reason was the price and what we could for the amount.

Chief Executive Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Room for Improvement" September 25, 2024 3.0 If it's not as intuitive if it needs to be, there should be certain things we can modify ourselves as an organization instead of having to reach our to customer service for every little thing. Pros Our primary fundraising event is an annual charity golf tournament. One cause is helpful because it not only tracks all our donors, it also works for ticketing and tee sheets. Cons It's not as intuitive as it needs to be. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) October 11, 2024 Thank you for your feedback!

CEO Program Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneCause Overview" November 10, 2025 4.0 Overall, once you get used to the platform it is ok. It could use some improvement to make those of us that previously used eventbrite more comfortable. Pros I like that the platfrom allows us to have all of the information in one place. And provides you with a dashboard for you event. Cons I don't like how it updates every minute or 2. That feature is helpful when there is an live auction happening. However, when there is not a live event, the data should be constant. As it is difficult to look at an item and the bidder if you have to drag the bar accross, sometimes it updates and puts you back at the top of the auction box. That is very ANNOYING! Addtionally, if you can make it more intuitives that woudl be helpful. Like, who bid on what item. Or how much once person bid on all events. Also, when you dump money into our acccount. If you could lable the dump. Auction, Tickets, Suponsorships that woudl be hlepful as well. Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Event planner recommended the switch. We will be using what they recommend. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 17, 2025 Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Events Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User Friendly " November 10, 2025 5.0 The event management, bidding process is great and the event registration is excellent it made our guest memorable we got lots of positive feed back. Pros event management, bidding process, customer support, and on day of event registration was very smooth Cons I love the reporting could be easier the reports are a bit confusing form me in the beginning. Alternatives considered [Givebutter](https://www.capterra.com/p/172048/Givebutter/) Reason for choosing OneCause for the ease of use, registration process and AI capabilities. Switched from [Greater Giving](https://www.capterra.com/p/127257/Event-Software/) The event registration was awful, as well as the support and reporting Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 11, 2025 Thank you for the kind feedback!

Resource Development Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneCause Rocks!" July 11, 2025 5.0 Amazing! has helped us automate our auction process, saving time and streamlining operations, while also increasing the funds we raise through more efficient bidding. Pros I like the ease for staff and volunteers to enter auction information and easy for guests to bid on auction items or give a donation. Cons Limited options on thermometer page--prefer the total to show without looking like the last person to donate gave the entire balance. Would like to see video options added to the new platform for appeals and marketing our events. Alternatives considered [Qtego](https://www.capterra.com/p/207552/Qtego/) Reason for choosing OneCause Ease of use and added support, plus customer recommendations Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) July 14, 2025 Thank you for your kind words and helpful suggestions, Joan!

Your input is invaluable to us! Thanks for trusting us to support your fundraising. QA Qiana A. Development Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Registration " November 10, 2025 4.0 After using different auction and registration platforms, hit the nail on the head with their platform. Everything was easy to find and made check-in for the event a breeze. Pros I love the ease of use in the event module. Everything is easy to find such as ticket holders, table captains and registrant information. Cons Trying to find the proper documents for upload took longer than I would like. We need a document for upload that includes all information. Switched from [Handbid](https://www.capterra.com/p/134456/Handbid/) It was a very difficult product to use. It was worth the switch for the ease of use. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 17, 2025 Thank you for the great feedback! We’re so glad to hear the event module made registration, ticketing, and check-in easy to manage—those are exactly the moments we aim to simplify.

RA Rusty A. Volunteer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "B&B 2025 - Grade A" November 10, 2025 4.0 All the people were great to work with. Responsiveness was very good. Having the pay as you go option was needed with our group being so small. Pros We liked only dealing with URL link vs having to have people load an app. Also liked having access to support during event time range. Very helpful to speak to a person. The bidding process was very simple. The reporting was really helpful. Cons There might have been some misses we found like covering the sales tax. While we did find out how to manage it, we were already underway. Switched from [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Looking for something not app based. That was probably the main reason Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 11, 2025 Thank you for the great feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the simplicity of the browser-based and mobile bidding experience and found our event support team helpful during your fundraiser. It’s wonderful to hear the bidding and reporting tools made things easy for your guests and team alike. We appreciate your note about sales tax and are glad you found a solution. Our team is always happy to help if you have questions, too. Thanks for trusting OneCause to power your fundraising success! TB Tim B. Managing Director Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy Customer" September 16, 2025 5.0 We have held three events and three times I have needed support due to a my user errors. The OneCause staff was responsive, immediately available and able to resolve the matter quickly so that a potential major problem was removed completely. Our events were successful, enjoyable and the culmination of hard work and a lasting partnership with OneCause. Pros I'm slightly technophobic but found that the fundraising platform is user friendly, intuitive, safe for donors and creates an organized approach to our fundraising event that I didn't know I needed! Donors and bidders were able to access our event with ease. From an event host's perspective, they have thought of everything and it's worth the money! Cons I have yet to find anything that I really dislike. If I had to choose something it would be that there were times I felt like I was left alone to figure out the learning phase. I could have used someone who would make sure I am on track to get the most out of the software and that I am reviewing all the tutorials Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) September 17, 2025 Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the platform felt user-friendly and intuitive, and that your donors and bidders had such a seamless experience.

We’re so grateful to have you as part of the OneCause community, and we can’t wait to continue supporting your fundraising success in the future! LC Lidia C. Development Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Above and Beyond Customer Service and Guest Experience" July 11, 2025 5.0 One of the absolute best parts of using is their outstanding customer support. Every time I’ve had a question or needed help, their team has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to assist. What truly sets them apart, though, is the on-site event specialist—they are a total game-changer! Having a OneCause expert at our event made everything run seamlessly. Their calm, professional presence gave me so much peace of mind, and they handled everything from setup to guest questions with ease and enthusiasm. It felt like having an extra team member who was 100% invested in our success. Truly top-notch service! Pros What I love most about using is how easy and fun it makes fundraising! The platform is incredibly user-friendly—for both guests and organizers. From mobile bidding to real-time updates, everything runs so very smoothly and efficiently. I especially appreciate how OneCause helps create excitement during events and keeps guests engaged. It has truly streamlined our auction process and helped us raise more money while giving supporters a great experience! Cons What I like least about BidPal is that uploading images via Dropbox has been a bit challenging to navigate at times. It’s not very intuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it becomes more manageable. I do plan on migrating to the new Fundraising Platform, and I understand that this process is much easier there—which I’m really looking forward to! Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) July 14, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Lidia!

Thank you for trusting OneCause to support your mission! SG Sue G. Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New to One Cause and call me Impressed!" December 10, 2024 5.0 Pretty good thus far. I'm working with the platform for our end of year appeals so I am engaged ion learning more on how to track the donations - through the site and through our mailing we sent. Pros I was very impressed with the event planning capabilities of the platform - I felt that it did everything I needed and more! Cons I was really looking for one place to see everything I needed to go through to set-up an event. My One Cause person showed it to me, but after I had done a ton of work finding it out myself. Alternatives considered [DonorDock](https://www.capterra.com/p/184187/DonorDock/)[Greater Giving](https://www.capterra.com/p/127257/Event-Software/) Reason for choosing OneCause We have DonorDock as our CRM, but it was missing some of the things does. Greater Giving was a bad experience from another organzization, so it wasn't a topo choice to use. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) December 13, 2024 Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear that OneCause has exceeded your expectations for event planning and provided the tools you need to succeed. It’s great to know the platform is supporting your end-of-year appeals as you continue to explore its features.

Thank you for choosing OneCause, and we’re excited to continue supporting your fundraising efforts! EE Eric E. Development Coordinator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneCause Review" October 7, 2024 4.0 The University and Chat are very helpful from the administrative side. The ease of use from the administrator's side is wonderful. It is not as user friendly as I would like for the guests. The guests do not go through training like administrators and that is cumbersome. Pros Ease of organization, ease of ticket sales by administrator, chat communication for help. Cons No way to save contacts for future blast emails around a similar event. It would be nice to send blast emails as well as blast texts. Guests struggled to assign tickets from their end. Switched from [DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/) All-in-one service. DonorPerfect had better guest communication options with constant contact. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 14, 2024 Thanks for your review, Eric! We're glad to hear OneCause has made ticket sales easy for you, and that your admin finds it user friendly. We'd love to learn more about what your guests are finding troublesome - send us a note at hello@onecause.com! Thanks for trusting us to partner with you in your fundraising. MD Mikayla D. Special Events Coordinator Fund-Raising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Absolutely seamless software and such a game changer for our non-profit!" December 22, 2020 5.0 I cannot fathom maneuvering the pandemic as a non-profit without the use of , much less any other year. We incorporated it into every single virtual event and in-person event and were able to stay financially stable thanks to its use. We actually surpassed our budgeting goals for the year and had the most successful mobile bidding gala silent auction in the Zoos history. We look forward to using OneCause for many years to come! Pros , including their mobile bidding, peer-to-peer and online giving platforms, has absolutely set the standard for fundraising software for the best price. The software has been invaluable to our non-profit, paying for itself after a single event. Our team seamlessly incorporated each platform into our in-person and virtual events with ease. The mobile bidding software is not only a breeze for administrators to create and manage from the back end, but we have received countless compliments from users/guests as to its ease of use. Even older audiences were able to easily navigate the auction, donate and even set bots/watch different packages. The peer-to-peer platform was unreal. Not only does it have the best aesthetics and options for design, it's seamless in its reporting and analytics. Our peer-to-peer Walk was praised for being a interactive, exciting way to build networks and fundraise for the Zoo for an extended period of time. We cannot stress the effectiveness of this software enough! Cons There is truly so little that we dislike about . Our customer support contacts were so easy to reach, communicate with and work through any dilemma with. Our only "wish list" item for OneCause's mobile bidding software is simply to be able to categorize fixed price packages. That's all we can think of to improve the platform, which speaks strides of its excellence. Alternatives considered [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/) Reason for choosing OneCause has superior aesthetics and their staff were significantly better to work with. We had an unprofessional interaction with Classy staff that put a bad taste in our mouth. Switched from [GalaBid](https://www.capterra.com/p/131238/GalaBid/) is more affordable and offers a better experience for the administrators on the back end and guests/users. Reports/CSV files also seamlessly download and upload into our donor database, DonorPerfect. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) April 11, 2021 What a helpful review, Mikayla! Thank you so much for your kind words and for your partnership. Fundraise on! SW Sheena W. Director of Annual Giving & Special Events Fund-Raising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly and a must-have for large events" April 22, 2022 5.0 While the community was sure it wouldn't work for them, it did! The ease of bidding from anywhere you are and sharing the items with friends and family near and far is extremely beneficial. Our auction proceeds have nearly doubled since we started using to its full capacity. Pros I love the max-bids function. We try to push this out to our constituents so that they can attend and enjoy the evening without worrying about getting outbid. Cons Three suggestions: Be able to select who has to enter a credit card to bid and who doesn't. As a school we know almost everyone attending and some of our parents prefer not to enter a credit card up front. While some attendees are not known to us and requiring a credit card would be a must. Secondly, allowing for more than one photo upload would be great. The added URL option is wonderful, but it's sometimes not easy to find photos of items online, especially if they are one of a kind. Another suggestion: We use the Auction Catalogue as our displays at the event. It would be really great to single page display option for items that need to be highlighted. A larger picture or event logo at the top would add to it. Alternatives considered [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) Reason for choosing OneCause It was mostly the UI and ease of access. The reporting was also a big selling point. The look off the bidding websites are top-notch. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) April 26, 2022 We are so glad to be partnered with your cause, Sheena. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with a review. We are happy to hear that our software provides a user-friendly experience and has allowed your proceeds to grow. JC Jenny C. Executive Director of Development & Advancement Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OneCause is worth it!" February 23, 2023 5.0 I actually enjoyed our event for the first time. Since I had someone from helping with the technical check-in, processing in person gifts and auction check out, I could visit with our guests and ask them about their bids, if they were enjoying the event and thank them for attending. It was a huge win for me! Pros The training classes are helpful. Software is easy to use. Any questions I had-they were there to help. Cons The cost. But it is worth it. It’s just hard for our non- profit to spend money on something that makes my life easier. Reason for choosing OneCause The gal that worked with me on the sales side was wonderful! Patient with our slow process and worked with me, answered lots of questions. Gave us the best deal she could. She was a jewel! Whoova- didn’t fit our needs- more for a conference- even though he knew this-he was pushy and just wanted to make the sake. Switched from [BetterUnite](https://www.capterra.com/p/172631/BetterUnite/)[RallyUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/182398/RallyUp/) Our donors were upset that they had to opt out of the additional “donation “ to the hosting software. Many missed seeing this. Our board wanted a report on what extra was given and that wasn’t available. So I was told to check out Bidpal.Also using BetterUnite- the internet failed and the board blamed the software. But we found it difficult to use as we didn’t have enough training on it Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) March 1, 2023 We are so happy to hear about your positive experience with our software, Jenny. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. So grateful to be partnered with your cause. JL Janell L.

In-house products combined with your staff made our experience exceptional. Pros In house iPads and swipers!! Additionally, the staff provided night of was amazing. Cons The Dashboard -- again I may just be used to GiveSmart I just wish it was nicer to look at. It was very easy to view the dashboard night of to see the progress of the silent auction Reason for choosing OneCause In-house iPads and Staff is why we ultimately chose Switched from [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) Consistent issues year after year. Last year in particular there were issues with their credit card swipers. Review Source CW Celia W. Event Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "WORTH HAVING ON SITE" November 10, 2025 5.0 Pros The One Cause team was SO helpful at our event. They were efficient and knowledable and it was well worth the money to have them present to take care of us. Cons I haven't had any yet. I love their platform and the simplicity of it. There's nothing that I can come up with. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) November 11, 2025 Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear our onsite team made such a positive impact at your event. They take great pride in keeping things running smoothly, and it’s great to know their support helped make your experience stress-free.

Special Event Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall happy with services" December 9, 2024 4.0 Pros The onsite support at our event was wonderful. I appreciated everything the team did to represent our staff on the night of the event and offer great support to our staff and guests alike. Cons I am not a coder or someone as familiar with tech so having to do the design elements on our home page were assigned to someone else. Loading images for auction items after the first image feels like it should be easier. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) December 12, 2024 Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear that our onsite support team provided excellent service and made a positive impact on your event night. It’s wonderful to know they were able to support both your staff and your guests so effectively.

Setup is easy and the customer support is responsive and helpful. Our bidding and donations increased tremendously since making the switch 7 years ago. The product keeps getting better. Pros Customer Service! Very knowledgable staff. Very helpful on technical issues and other operational areas. I love the platform for my event guests. Most understand it easily and can troubleshoot pretty quickly. Cons For me, the actual adding multiple pictures for items. And, the custom pages can be a little technical for rookies. Review Source TH Tiffany H. Director of Foundation Operations Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MCHS Foundation" July 9, 2024 5.0 elevated our fundraising events to a level our rural community wasn't even necessarily ready for. However, it was quickly embraced and has helped us to reach further and raise more than we otherwise could have. Pros Bringing as a mobile bidding platform to our fundraising events elevated our reach, impact and fundraising goals. Cons Initially the cost was relatively large for us as we utilized onsite support for our large gala. However, a couple years in we became incredibly confident in the set up and usage of the software and now utilize it DIY for all of our events. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) October 11, 2024 Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad OneCause helped elevate your fundraising events and expand your reach, especially in your rural community.

Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fundraising Made Easy" July 9, 2024 5.0 Our organization has had a great experience with . Our events look professionally done and fundraising is easy. Pros makes it easy for our small team to put on fundraising events that are professional and a good experience for our attendees. Cons There is a small learning curve for people new to the software, but the customer service team is always ready to help. Review Source Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal) October 11, 2024 Thank you for your great review! We’re glad to hear that OneCause has made it easier for your team to host professional fundraising events.

Program Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneCause Helps with Our Cause!" May 15, 2024 5.0 I love ! No more paper bid sheets! No more raffle tickets! Everything is on the OneCause platform where tickets, bidding, and donations are simple. Pros is very userfriendly and when I don't know how to do something, their training videos and websites are very helpful as is customer service when I need a little more help! We've used OneCause for over a decade and I've been working with it for the past three years for our event planning. We've had events where OneCause provided support persons and equipment and we've had events that were completely DIY. As the event is approaching and ending, I use OneCause multiple times a day to track progress and do post-event reports. Our most recent experience with OneCause was for a golf tournament (a new event for us) and integration and implementation was easy and seamless! Cons My only issue with is when I'm entering items for our auctions and click Save and Next, it doesn't always save my entry. It's not a deterrent, I just go about entering, saving, and entering the next item differently.

Special Events Coordinator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneCause is a dream for event planners" May 1, 2024 4.0 Overall, has revolutionized our events. I utilize nearly every feature it offers, from the dashboard to the reports. It not only saves me time and keeps me organized but also instills confidence in our audience. Pros What I love most about is how it has transformed our silent auction from paper to mobile. It's enabled us to reach a wider audience and significantly increase our silent auction proceeds. Cons Instead of enhancing their existing platform, opted to develop a completely new one. However, when I attempted to use the new platform, it didn't provide the functionality we required.

Director of Events Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneCause " November 29, 2022 4.0 Couldn't have lived without it, but there are some improvements to be made. I felt as though I constantly had to call to ask questions. It would be nice if we (users) were given a better overall tutorial of the platform - start to finish. Pros The auction items are able to be previewed prior to the event date which is most helpful. Allowing those who can't make it to the event itself the opportunity to participate! Therefore reaching a wider net than the traditional auction setup allows. Cons There isn't an app. Guests were really flustered by the website. They wanted something extremely user-friendly. Most of our participants are older and don't know how to navigate the website.

Communications and Development Associate Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A successful auction earns OneCause a happy customer " January 27, 2023 4.0 is a great, affordable fundraising and event managing software with awesome customer service and reports/analytics. Pros The features that I used and appreciated the most were mobile marketing, ticketing, and reports/ analytics. The customer service at is top notch. I was responded to immediately with affective answers. Cons The dashboard and lingo used in could be more intuitive (donors vs supporters for example). My organization did a silent auction of mostly fine art. I was not thrilled with the low-resolution photos that were too small to see the art. If you upload more than one photo, you cannot click to see the photos unless you pause and stay on the page for several seconds. I ended up having to create a high resolution share folder and insert the link into the description of each auction package. Several donors (young and old) could not easily see the various sub-groups and only looked at the Featured Items tab so I ended up including all packages in the featured items tab.
