## About Handbid
Handbid is a premium silent auction software and mobile bidding platform with concierge-level service — auction and event technology for organizations that can&#39;t afford to have their most important moments go wrong. One online auction platform serves three worlds: nonprofit fundraising and charity auctions (from black-tie gala fundraisers to grassroots campaigns), enterprise and luxury brands (fully white-label auction software), and commercial auction operators (liquidation, surplus, consignment, and specialty auctions at scale). Handbid powers mobile bidding, event ticketing and registration, guest check-in, text-to-give, and payment processing across in-person, online, and hybrid events — including live auctions, silent auctions, and sealed-bid auctions. White-label branding puts your URLs, emails, and interface front and center. Invite-only access controls gate who registers and bids. Real-time bidding data, fundraising reporting, and payouts keep decisions moving during the event, not after it. What sets Handbid apart from other auction software is delivery: concierge onboarding means our team configures your auction items, access rules, and payment flows — you host, we handle the software. APIs and integrations with Stripe, CRMs, and check-in tools fit your existing workflow, with compliance and security built in. Trusted by nonprofits, schools, universities, professional sports foundations, healthcare organizations, and enterprise auction houses, Handbid has powered thousands of fundraising events and auctions — from intimate board dinners to 3,000-guest galas.

## Handbid Reviews
  ### 1. Handbid is easy to use and our guests love using it!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We have been using Handbid for 4 years and we have loved our experience. Auctions are easy to set up and our guests really enjoy it as opposed to traditional bid sheets. We have raised twice as much money with each auction using Handbid. There are always new features introduced making the app even more user friendly and helping to raise even more money.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Occasionally, we will have a guest swear that they made the last bid and someone at the very end outbids them and they have gotten upset over that thinking that it was a Handbid error. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

I would recommend giving it a try. Once you see that you will raise more money and it is a fun tool for your guests, I think you will not go back to bidsheets.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have raised more money with Handbid, especially with the appeal. It is easy to set up appeals on Handbid and it allows payment to be made right away so I don't have to track people down after the event.

  ### 2. Made the Auction a Success

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julia F. | Director Of Accounting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

It was easy to see all the silent auction items before the event right on my phone. Attendees who had never used Handbid before could add the app and  CC info in minutes.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I don't recall having any problems with Handbid regarding the event I used it for.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to run the auction bids on paper and checking out afterwards was a nightmare! This pulls the results onto an IPad quickly and easily.

  ### 3. Super easy!  Great experience!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Audrey S. | Workforce Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We loved how easy it was for us and our bidders to use.  The notifications and reminders were fantastic.  It definitely helped to increase earnings and also significantly streamline the checkout process.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Nothing! This product worked great for us.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Yes!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This was the easiest checkout process our bidders ever had.  It was also fantastic to offer a way for supporters who were not able to attend the event to be just as lively in the silent auction bidding.

  ### 4. Handbid Offers Opportunities to Learn

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The trainings have been helpful with learning the ins and outs of the system and getting ideas for the users at the event.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Too many steps for attendees to get on their phone. It's just not an intuitive process for my attendees to get set up on their phones.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Use the trainings to learn everything you can about the backend of the system. Test it for the user and hire an expert to come to your event!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In the past we had a problem with duel bid numbers, but they've worked through that and worked with  me on uploading the list and sending an expert.

  ### 5. Game Changer!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid makes organizing and preparing for a Silent Auction easy!  It dramatically reduced the number of volunteers needed, and made the evening run smoothly.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

For small auctions, the percentage taken can really take a bite out of profits.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to load items into the app and have them be presented in such an organized fashion makes the auction look so professional!  We don't need as many volunteers to work the day of the auction, which means more people are enjoying the evening.

  ### 6. Save Time & Earn More

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Holly R. | Director Of Marketing And Business Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Ease of use, ability to look back at previous years trends, provide the ability for our attendees to mix & mingle while raising money for a great cause.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

If there is one thing I would say give more options for sponsors to advertise besides just the landing page of the app.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Able to manage items, import items from previous years which cuts down on time spent on item entry, streamlined checkout process, giving attendees more power to be in control/up to date on the items they are bidding on.
We have made our auction more streamlined through using handbid which has helped us raise more money.

  ### 7. The way to go

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I loved  how user friendly the app was  for my staff and my donors . I was also very pleased with my customer service rep  she was very helpful  and extremely knowledgeable

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

there were a bit of a misunderstanding with our on-site assistant during our last event, however overall he was knowledgeable and answered all questions when needed.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was extremely easy to maneuver through the app and to set up items on the back end .

  ### 8. Very good interaction with input and output data formats

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Phone app based makes it very easy to use

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Navigation in app wasn’t entirely intuitive on initial interaction.  After 5 to 10 minutes it all eventually made sense. Needed to get the hang of sweeping the screen.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With COVID-19 situation Handbid saved our event from being a complete disaster.  Being able to quickly switch to an online only event was key to this.

  ### 9. Handbid makes everything accessible and easy for the organization and the user.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Courtney C. | Director of Development , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We really enjoy all the training videos.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The program is always changing with new things or additions so sometimes its hard to keep up.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Always have a Handbid expert on site just in case. Send your guest list to Handbid to upload, its so much easier.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Doing an online auction is so easy, its like clockwork. Our bidders love it and the rest of the community is using it now so its easy to understand and great to see the bidders have fun with the app.

  ### 10. Fun, Fast, & Easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kayla P. | Ambassador Committee Chair, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The ease of managing the items during the event.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Ticket check in was a bit of a mess. Our guests had a hard time opening their tickets up, especially if their sponsor used a different email than the one they used to set up the app. We will likely go back to paper tickets because of this.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The only issue we had has ticketing. Everything else ran much easier this year than last year.

  ### 11. Great Auction Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Holly L. | Program Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We were able to set up a silent auction and appeals very easily.  Registration and check out were a breeze.  Even contacting bidders and pushing announcements to their phone worked seamlessly. And checkout was quick and efficient.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

This is not really a dislike, just a problem we experienced with our senior bidders.  Often, seniors don't find mobile apps intuitive and we need to help several check out with their purchases.  Also, be sure you have an area that has wifi or at least great cell signal.  Without it, no one can bid.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

This is powerful software that reduces time and manpower.  It is easy to set up and close out auctions especially for smaller non profits.  

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

What used to require 25+ volunteers can now be handled by 5.  Also, it is great that card readers can be eliminated!  those take so long and require volunteers to process.  Now everyone can process their own credit cards on their own phones!

  ### 12. Very User Friendly

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Using Handbid for our online auction was easy and so user friendly. We received several positive comments from our bidders. It helped to increase our revenue and drew an increase in participation.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I did not find anything unhelpful about Handbid.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Handbid increased our overall revenue and participation.

  ### 13. Handbid 4 Life!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dustin M. | Lease-Up Community Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I've been using Handbid for several years now. The support is terrific, the app is easy to use, and guests love it! We were able to increase our revenue by thousands with Handbid.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I honestly have no issues with Handbid, love it!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were able to move away from paper bid sheets. It streamlines the entire auction process!

  ### 14. Outstanding Teamwork and Over the Top Communication!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dana B. | Special Events Manager of Global Sports and Entertainment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The efficiency of our Handbid team is incredible and each year (3 now) just gets better and better.!  Our event lasts a week that is filled with 4 nights of silent and  2 live auction productions; Jeff, Diana, Seth and David make it seamless for our team. From creating the interesting packages, to driving the marketing strategy that appeals to our guests our goal is to maximize the amount of bids and keep it fresh after 5 years. Our Handbid team makes live auction very easy for us to create a great plan with the auctioneer and access our total revenue and the transition from the winner to Handbid to fulfillment is very easy for us to manage.  Post auction pick up is seamless and every year it gets easier and easier.  Diana's communication pre-during and post makes us all feel at ease with any questions we may have. Keep up the fantastic work!!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Each year we become stronger as a team with our auction and Handbid helps us stay on track during an extremely busy time of year. When ever we have a opportunity to do something to improve on the event they jump in with ideas.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

The Handbid team truly makes the difference! Reporting and  the easy access makes the experience very smooth.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Driving guests to register is always a challenge. Every year we are more strategic as to how we create a reason why they should register and more touch-points to engage the guests. 

  ### 15. Streamlines the silent auction closeout process

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessica M. | Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

As an auction manager, I like how easy it is to close out an auction and collect payments.  I like being able to quickly see statistics from our auction and all past auctions in one place.
As a bidder, I like being able to see what each item is at, and bid from my table without getting up!
I do enjoy that Handbid is constantly adding new features to improve their product.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I have wished there was a way to see what amount each item is at just by walking around and browsing the items.  It would be tough, but it could work if each item had a little tiny screen that would update with the current amount. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

I have recommended this product to others. I think it is a worthwhile investment.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our club has used Handbid for the past 4 years. The silent auction closeout process has been streamlined and our buyers are happy with the quick check-out process. It's exciting to see our overall revenue from the auctions climb during and even BEFORE an event. It's quite fun to open up the auction a few days early and see we've already earned a couple thousand in revenue even before the main event starts. It gets bidders excited to preview the items ahead of time. 

  ### 16. Perfect, easy and all around great!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Easy to navigate, intuitive and we made a ton of money!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Uploading picture of items was tricky due to formatting!

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Do it! It is worth the cost.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have increased our traffic as well as our income by over 30%

  ### 17. Very reasonable and great customer service

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juliet D. | CNA, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2020

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid exceeded expectations for the cost and the check in  staff was outstanding!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Thought the software wasn’t as easy to navigate as others

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lowered cost and raised more money

  ### 18. Give It A Try!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darlene K. | Executive Director, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I've been using Handbid for about 3 years now.  It's user friendly, there are lots of videos to assist, customer support is really great, and the software is priced right.  We have an annual Gala and we use Handbid for ticket sales, table assignments, registering/checking in guests, bidding on silent auction items, bidding on live auction items including live ask items, and checking out guests.  Our guests really like bidding on auction items using the Handbid app or accessing our auction online.  We also make ipads available to those without smartphones at our event so everyone can participate.  It really makes the event fun and exciting! 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

They've made  a lot of improvements to check in guests from the registered list so this process is easier to understand and implement.  

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

If you are still researching which software to use, contact Customer Support and participate in a demo so you can get a feel for what Handbid offers.  You don't need to be a computer expert to use this however, for an additional cost, they will provide staff to handle it for you if that is what you need.  

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This has streamlined all the components of hosting an event such as a Gala with 200+ guests, into one comprehensive system.  There are several out there but as a nonprofit, I really feel like Handbid provides pricing that is realistic and won't break the bank yet accomplishes all that you need to without sacrificing the quality.  

  ### 19. Easy!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kendra R. | Director, Washington Office Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid helped us manage our auction. On our first year using it, we cut checkout time down from about 90 minutes to 25. This year, the checkout desk was super quiet, and we'd cleaned up within 30 minutes of the auction ending. Definitely made our lives easier!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Adding items can be a little time-consuming (but I honestly don't know how they'd change that). Also, the dashboard can be a bit slow. Finding bidders/etc. at check-in takes longer than I'd like. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our fundraiser is relatively large. About 350 people, 70-80 silent auction items, and 4--45 live auction items. Handbid has made it significantly easier by keeping everything in one place, and allowing people to check out on their mobile devices, making reconciliation a breeze. 

  ### 20. Easy Mobile Event & Bidding Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Derika H. | Academic Principal/Director of Facilities, Primary/Secondary Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid is a one stop shop. Constituents can purchase tickets to an event, find out where they are sitting for a dinner, and bid on auction items from the easy of their phone!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

There were no aspects of the prodcut that we did not like. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

The Handbid staff were amazing to work with. Not only was it easy to use, but anytime we had a question they were right there to help guide us thru the process!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using handbid for our event made selling tickets easier, registration, and table assignments a breeze. It also really took our auction to the next level by having online bidding. We saw a significant decrease in registration time for our event, as well as an increase in our auction profits thanks for the Handbid App. 

  ### 21. Good For Schools 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We've used Handbid for 3 years now for our elementary school silent auction.  We love how easy it is for our families to bid on both the app and a computer, we like the easy access to our previous auctions' information and the user friendly dashboard.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The lack of reports that we can run from our side, we needed a report for each bid made during a specific period for a raffle.  That bidders cannot respond to the broadcast messages nor can you see if they had been read. The cost is a bit high for a school compared to some other platforms.  We didn't like that we had to manually set a timer to end the auction and that it could not be extended once set. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps us raise money for our school.

  ### 22. A great user experience from both sides of the event

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lauren P. | Director of Development and Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid allows me to communicate with my guests and to feature items that I need to increase bidding on. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Being an app interface, we have run into issues with people being unable to access their app store. There is also sometimes an issue where the app gets stuck in a loop and people cannot access their accounts. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Work with your trainer at handbid closely. Once you get to know the product it is very intuitive. For you first event, it is helpful to have a handbid staff at the event so that you are not stressed about the processing of the technology and can focus on your event. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is a wonderful way to bring silent auctions in to the modern age. It allows more bidding more often. 

  ### 23. Years of amazing service and results!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aaron R. | Major Giving Office | Donor Relations Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The software has been incredibly easy to use and the features only get better from year to year. More than anything, the customer service has been top notch and the staff goes above and beyond to help ensure a smooth event experience. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

At this time, I have Yet to find any one thing that I’ve been displeased with. Each year, the new feature rollouts have seemed to address any concerns I’ve had from the previous platform. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Since our event is outside, we have to deal with the potential of rain when we set up the physical items for our auction. Thankfully with Handbid we still have the luxury of showcasing the auction and enticing our audience through creative messaging if bad weather is present. 

  ### 24. Handbid is the One

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Liz S. | Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2018

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

After 10 years of presenting charity auctions, we FINALLY found Handbid. For a decade we operated our charity auctions with paper bid sheets and just last year we decided it was time to go online. Unfortunately, we chose a platform that was web based and the outcome was very disappointing with an extremely high price. 

After persuading our Board to try online bidding one more time, we discovered HANDBID. This platform turned everyone’s thinking around on electronic auctions!

Handbid is the best bidder-friendly app around! Their fees are reasonable and this company delivers ALL of their promises. The entire team at Handbid, including our account executive, support reps, financial rep and the owner were all incredibly responsive to our unique needs. And we give a “10” to our Handbid Ambassador, Brice Tomlinson. Actually the only person from Handbid we met in person, Brice was a tremendous part of our success! His contribution to our event was invaluable.

We strongly recommend HANDBID for any 501(c)(3) organization looking to take their charity auction to the best performance level possible. 


**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Our only issue with Handbid during our first auction in 2017 was the inability to use Apple Pay. By the time we held our second Handbid auction in 2018 - that issue was resolved! Now that we are preparing for our 3rd Handbid auction in 2019, we are adding their ticketing platform to our event - so far, tickets are selling smoothly and the $$ is flowing right into our bank account.


**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

We strongly recommend HANDBID for any 501(c)(3) organization looking to take their charity auction to the best performance level possible. 


**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Because Handbid is so user-friendly, our guests are having the best time while "fun-raising"! We need far less volunteers to staff our auction. And the movement of funds is SEAMLESS thanks to Stripe Connect. 


  ### 25. Amazing Company, Stellar Staff, & Simple & Easy to Use Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jill M. | Teacher , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We are a public school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and count on our annual silent auction to provide much needed revenue to support our school and fundraise for curriculum, lower class sizes, and STEM opportunities for students.  

Handbid has helped us manage our auction with ease and confidence for the past 5 years!  The tool is seamless and it so user friendly for our parent volunteers and once we started using Handbid, we saw a huge increase in our actual funds raised due to the easy access provided by the Handbid app!  Our parent community could bid from the comfort of their home to support our school!  We even were able to easily collect payment from all donors and take that burden off of our plate!  The cost was very minimal, and super affordable for our small public school.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I really cannot think of any downsides that we have experienced over the past five years using Handbid.  It has truly been a tool we have been able to implement with great ease and success.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

If you really want to implement an online auction with ease, this is a tool for you.  It is such an easy tool to understand even for someone who is not very technical.  In addition, you can monitor your auction live, and promote various business or items for bid as you learn in real time what is not selling for as high as you would like.  The support team is always there to trouble shoot and help out when in need, however, the tool is smooth and almost issue free.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before having Handbid we tried working with other vendors who charged much more and didn't have the robust tools we needed to run our school auction.  The tool allowed us to reach donors everywhere, not only the ones that attend the event, but families at home or even friends or supporters out of state.  The tool allowed us to share images and links to each item for bid and most importantly, the ease of being able to re-use the same template from previous years made it so much easier for us to kick off our next auction with ease.  In addition, Handbid has helped us use the tool in other ways as well to help us be able to advertise and sell our school spirit wear.  

  ### 26. One of the better mobile sites

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I like how user friendly the app is. It really makes the experience easy for our guests at events. It's also easy to use on the flip side. Set up is pretty easy, and someone usually responds within the day if I have questions or need help adjusting something.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I have heard from numerous guests that as soon as the event is over, the event disappears on their app. They then have to go into some random auction so they can get to their profile tab to see and pay their invoice. I have yet to find a way that doesn't make them do this. Also the puzzle piece is a cool idea, but being a feature in one of our events was a mistake since in glitched out. I think sometimes they try and get a new product out before it's completely ready.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

No mobile site is perfect. As technology is constantly changing, so are the things that we use. I like that Handbid has webinars to teach about new additions. I like that they send out emails with upcoming information. The only thing I've had issues with consistently is different report pulling, like getting the full details of things. Overall I would recommend Handbid if you're thinking of entering mobile bidding. I've used a few other sites, and this one has been the best and most user friendly overall.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Handbid is easy to close out. I like that all the information we need is within one system. We can pull reports for annual audits and to import into our system.

**Official Response from Jeff Porter:**

> HI there. Thank you for your review!  

We wanted to jump in and provide some tips on how a guest can find their invoice after an event. 

Once an event is over, it will remain in the guest's "My Events" tab for quite some time.  If the guest has exited the app, they should end up back on this tab as soon as they log back in. 

Another trick, is to also swipe from the left side of the screen to reveal the menu where they can view their invoice. 

Finally, if a guest has an invoice that is not paid, Handbid will prompt them and ask if they want to view/pay the invoice and take them to it!  

  ### 27. Always an exceptional experience with all the services we need

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adrienne C. | Event Planner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

We love working with Handbid for all the services they provide. The platform is great for many types of events and they are always coming up with new solutions. The team is wonderful to work with and always so helpful!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I can't think of anything right now that we dislike about the software. They are constantly updating which is great!

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Take your time to set the system up how you would like and then add the date in later.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use this software for many of our nonprofit fundraising event. We can complete registration, donations, auctions, seating, and many other things through the software. It has eliminated all the different platforms we used to use. 

  ### 28. Very User Friendly App and Auction Manager

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca H. | Office Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I like the look of the app, the way items are displayed with pictures and the support that comes with using the platform. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

There is not much I dislike. Specific to our situation, it is difficult to use a third-party credit card processor outside of Handbid, but I believe most people/users would prefer to use the Handbid processor.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Excellent support staff and a really great product with constant improvements.  This is the auction app to go with.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our silent auction runs extremely smooth and allows for increased bidding since bidders can receive notifications when they are outbid, etc. We have been able to increase our donations with the use of Handbid at our event.

  ### 29. So Intuitive, Streamlined and Simple

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bridget A. | Director of Events & Hospitality, Fund-Raising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Handbid is EASY!  It is a high tech software that makes running and managing auctions incredibly simple.  Almost no need for training, it's so intuitive, has all the features you could possibly need, and is simple and convenient for users.  Increases profits drastically!  I have recommended Handbid to so many auction organizers.  I run 4 auctions in different cities all in one month and Handbid has made my job drastically easier!  Also, for years to come all your records in one place, an incredible dashboard!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

My only challenge has been that you can't pre-assign bid numbers.  Would prefer this feature but also understand why it works the way it does.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

I would never go back after using Handbid!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accuracy, Efficiency, staffing, customer service, increased fundraising dollars.  All of these things have seen significant improvement since we started using Handbid.  It also saves me HOURS of time as a planner.  So much more efficient day of as well.  Donors can see the items on their phones and bid with the phone in their pocket!!  I can also run my silent auctions longer as they can go through the program while people are having dinner so at least another hour+ of time for bids to increase!

  ### 30. InnerVisions is delighted to use Handbid!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bryan G. | Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The best feature is that it's mobile:  easy to download and quite intuitive.  We love how people who don't attend are event can still bid remotely.  Not having to use paper/pen is very appealing to our younger donors, and our mid-aged donors have gotten used to it, too.  

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I can't really think of anything that I dislike...other than being a non-profit, and wish it were a bit more affordable.  And, our older donors (or those who are skeptical of the digital world) find it cumbersome, but that's why we have a team of Handbid experts who canvas the room with iPads to help people get paddle numbers and bids.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

I've already recommended Handbid to several other non-profits to use!  
If you have an auction or an organization that you're fundraising for, this product will definitely increase your dollars.  In three short years, the funds raised from our auctions have increased from $7k to $33k!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Again, having people bid remotely is such a help.  Donors want to be part of our events, if they're remote.  Also, our event is a short period of time, and we wouldn't be able to do paper/pen silent auction bidding with 600+ guests!  It's easy to facilitate, and we get Millennials to help as "Handbid Experts"...walking around the room and helping people bid.

  ### 31. Excellent Customer Service in a timely manner

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole C. | Property Agent, Oil & Energy, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

When initially contacting Handbid as an option for our event we were able to speak with a customer representative with in a few seconds of calling. Once we spoke with them they were able to provide us with a professional quote in less than 24 hours.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I have no complaints during  my current use of the APP 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

If you are looking for a great tool to help increase donations and purchase for Auction items this is the perfect platform/APP

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Handbid we will be able to update Auction items as we receive them and preview them to our valuable sponsors. This will improve our feedback and increase money raised for our cause. 

  ### 32. My Bid's on Handbid

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sheila D. | Voiceover Agent, Philanthropy, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Two years ago, as a newly anointed fundraising co-chair for our school PTO, I was looking for a more user-friendly and sleeker bidding app to handle our silent auction during our annual fundraiser.

That’s when we found Handbid.

Not only is it easy to navigate as a user, but also as an auction manager. Plus, there are plenty of tutorials online to assist your learning curve and if that doesn’t cut it, you have access to an actual human being to field any additional questions.

Our silent auction revenue has steadily gone up the past two years and I firmly believe part of our success is due to Handbid.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

We did not find anything wrong with Handbid.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

We highly recommend Handbid and have been to other schools in our area.


**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We definitely saw an increase in bidding, therefore, raising the most funds in 10yrs!

  ### 33. So easy!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alissa P. | Director of Public Relations & Marketing Communications, Hospitality, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Not only does Handbid enable me to manage an auction digitally. Guests are able to enjoy the event and access on their device at their leisure BUT I am also able to track/manage ticket sales to the event as well. That is what appealed to me the most as I did not have a ticketing system to utilize for the event. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Nothing, love Handbid and will use again!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The greatest benefit is to keep an auction running even post event enabling us to drive additional revenue. I like that I can access the Admin side and make changes and measure real-time.

  ### 34. Easy, Convenient, Intuitive Software 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I love how intuitive handbid is, so easy to figure out.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The reporting is not wonderful, there are many reports where having the payment type included would be helpful, but it has to be pulled in a separate report then combined.  Not being able to pre-assign bid numbers is less than desirable and the software can occasionally have hiccups or run a bit slow.  

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

This will make running an auction light times easier.  

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Offering a more convenient auction and the ability to keep them open longer.  Easy financial tracking and quick check in and check out.  Definitely makes the event process much easier.  Love this product, despite the few things I'd change.  

  ### 35. Handbid is user friendly and reliable - we've only had positive experiences.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The user interfaces inspire confidence in that they're clean and intuitive. I like being able to pull reports after the event and fire off messaging to auction registrants during the event to encourage bidding.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

From year to year I like to export repeat items from the prior year's auction to save time. Sometimes, I want to edit items en masse with a certain picture or text field. It appears that I'm unable to make such edits en masse but have to click on each item to make edits.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Mark Massey is helpful and enthusiastic. One gets the sense that Handbid's leadership believes in the product. Do a trial and see if Handbid can work for you. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We wanted to invite bidding at our silent auction via digital means. We also wanted national exposure, i.e, folks being able to bid from anywhere. Handbid helps us do both.

  ### 36. Handbid is the Best!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Margaret T. | Board Treasurer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I like Handbid because the software is easy to use, the app is easy to explain to others, and the support behind the product is unmatched!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I think many of the smaller issues we originally had with Handbid have been resolved in their newer editions.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Do a skype session with the Handbid folks as a trial to see if it's right for you. We did this and it was very helpful. Event support is key too and we've had excellent event support from Handbid as well.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For us as a non-profit, the increased auction sales as a result of using Handbid at our largest annual  fundraiser has been an excellent business decision for us. We don't have extra funds to waste, so we need a good return on our investment. Handbid has definitely helped us with increasing our return.

  ### 37. Silent Auction Co-Chair

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The gamification factor.  It tripled our bids from the prior year and doubled our funds that we raised.  Having the app provide fun "Oh no!" noise and push notifications when bidders were losing was critical.  I also love their support that is available the day of.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Would love to have Apple Pay functionality.  I may be wrong and it may offer this and I am unaware.

Also, I wish we could use the same URL for our auction for the following year.  We had a lot of signs made with the specific link on it and cannot use it in the following years.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

An added benefit was the ability to text users about the event through it.

  ### 38. Gather in the Gardens

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tonja H. | Director of Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

That Handbid captures all my attendees contact information, so that I can keep them engaged

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I would like more flexibility on the landing page for the website.  It's a little static.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting accurate information for all my guests.  In 15 years of doing fundraising at events, I've never been able to get everyone's information.

  ### 39. Easy to use auction software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Museums and Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I love the our event guests can bid on items while seated at their table in the ballroom!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Having to convince people to download the app

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Simple to use, has many additional features that would work if our event was a different type. Biggest challenge is convincing people to download the app - for those who object we have iPads available for bidding

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our auction display in out in the foyer which back when we used the paper method meant people had to leave the ballroom to bid which really disrupted the evening/program flow.  The proxy (max bid) feature is awesome, one retired board member actually put $20K max bids on 2 items at our annual fundraising dinner last year.

  ### 40. Handbid

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen C. | Director Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Seth was phenomenal to work with and no question went unanswered.  It was easy to use on both our end and our constituents.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

It was a little slow with the wifi but that wasn't Handbids fault.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was the first time we have ever used an electronic auction site.  It saved us time and hours doing it online versus the written bid sheets.  Written bid sheets are challenging because you can't always read what individuals have written.

Will renew our contract closer to our event.

  ### 41. Long time user

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Timothy D. | New Guy, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The reports show great detail. The app is intuitive to use and easy to register. Our users and attendees have embraced it.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The VIP status has been a problem in the past but we look forward to seeing the new release.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Diana and Jeff have been great to work with.

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For our silent auctions, we needed to have a quick and easy way to get the money and account for the winners. Handbid has been awesome for this.

  ### 42. Not only a great tool to increase revenue for your acuction, but a great experience for our guests!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The event went really well and Handbid was definitely a nice addition to our auction. I think the guests really liked the application and that it was easy to check on their bids.  We also had some people bid remotely which was nice for people who usually come to the event but could not make it this year.   Check in and check out was a lot easier, allowing our staff to enjoy the gala instead of prepping for check out, like they had done in the past.  The interface that Handbid has is beautiful and user friendly.  Also, the Handbid staff was extremely responsive to our training questions and even helped us during a setup emergency the night before, allowing us to have a smooth event. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

We were not able to check in guests on our phones, but I think there has been an enhancement since our event.  We had one issues with payment where the system would not allow the user to pay when we entered their credit card.  

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Have a dedicated person to learn and set up handbid and host multiple trainings with volunteers. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Check in and check out were much more efficient and guest were in and out much faster.  We increased our revenue because we had remote bids, and the application notified the bidder when they were losing.  Reconciling was extremely easy since we could pull reports directly from Handbid rather than manully gathering information and putting the report together.  We could easily pay within Handbid and send receipts rather than having a hard copy of the receipt. 

  ### 43. User- friendly auction software with everything you need for a successful event

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I love having the ticketing, silent and live auction integrated online. It's one-stop-shopping for auction guests and SO much easier than the old days of handwritten bidder sheets!

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Every once in a while I run into a glitch (usually ticketing or registration) but the team always takes care of things right away!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the problem of how to efficiently monitor bids and collect auction funds. Our auction revenues have more than tripled since we switched!

  ### 44. Handbid: Easy and Efficient

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Its hard to say what I like best. Its easy to use, easy to find video and written support, and phone support after that if needed. The answers are always easy to execute to keep the process moving. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

I can't really say there is anything that I dislike at all. One suggestion I'd have is to be able to order the items within a category by item number. This is probably possible, in fact, I tried but couldn't get it to work. Also, when sorting categories and moving certain categories up in the order...I could only do that from my ipad but couldn't get it to work from my PC. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Call or email if you have questions, they will help you and get it right!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Benefits are the easily printable spreadsheets and printouts for easy summary of information. 

  ### 45. Easy to use for all

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

I really enjoy the mobility of the app and how well we can change on a dime through the back end if we need to.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Not having the  ability to modify the fields for tickets.    We have agolf outing so being able to ask what size shirt, what handicap, etc.

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Highly recommend this product.   The security features for those bidding is very important and Handbid makes sure to take this into account.   

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Handbid helped us to get the word out further in the company as well as give a credit card option.   before we started using Handbid, we couldn't do these which limited it.

  ### 46. Best Cuatomer Service ever!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Belinda S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The outstanding customer service sealed the deal for our school.  It can’t be beat.   Handbid is also user friendly and is meeting all of our auction needs.  

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

There is nothing that I dislike.  The entire bidding platform is outstanding!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Handbid is a one-stop platform for auctions.  In addition , their customer service team has helped us choose the right live auctioneer for our Gala. 

  ### 47. Best Auction App Out There

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

It's a great app and auction management tool to help sell tickets, enable bidding for silent and live auction items, and manage all the information and receipts. We love it! 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

It's hard for older people to use because it's not entirely intuitive. Some of our older guests didn't bid because they couldn't understand it and needed help, which put a strain on our volunteers because we hadn't planned on that. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

It's one of the best options out there!

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ticketing and auction management is so much easier with Handbid - we've been able to manage events really well with Handbid. 

  ### 48. Easy to use, great training

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brooke C. | CFO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The training leading up to the event was great, the app was easy to use, and the check in process was easy.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The entire process was seamless, I have no complaints

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our event bidding was a HUGE success due to the online bidding. Check in was also easier

  ### 49. Our Go To Auction Vendor! 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

The Handbid staff is always very responsive and helpful, and their on-site staff is friendly and professional with our event guests. Jeff and Seth are always thorough, informative, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and their attention to detail is outstanding. We couldn’t ask for a better team to help us reach our client's fundraising goals.

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

Not sure what we would do to change this platform. . .   

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The mobile app has been a game changer for our events! Text reminders has increased our auction raise year over year! 

  ### 50. Satisfied with a few concerns

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jon B. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Handbid?**

Great for mobile users. Consistent and quick responses from support. 

**What do you dislike about Handbid?**

The signup process for anything but mobile is very tedious and confusing. Many people told me it hindered them from logging in on their computer. 

**Recommendations to others considering Handbid:**

Be clear about what you are using it for and make sure that it can do it. 

**What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Silent auctions at our fundraising event.
