Good Program to Run an Auction **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** BJ L. | Environmental Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2025 **What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?** Good reporting tools and easy to establish customer account and check-in and check-out **What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?** Setting up items to bid got a little complex. We had a couple times where we added items and then it completely changed the numbering system. It was not the easiest for someone not familiar with programs like this. **What problems is ReadySetAuction solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlined running an auction. We used to use excel and paper and it took a LOT of hours to get everything set up for the auction, and also lead to a number of mistakes. Ready Set Auction was worth it to have all of that in one program. ### 2. Does the job, looks okay **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kira F. | Marketing and Outreach Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?** My FAVORITE thing is that it integrates so well to DonorPerfect, and it is really easy to upload your excel documents of auction items or attendees. That is really simple and a breeze. I also really like the texting integration it has for online bidding, super simple and effective outbid notifications, and our donors love the "otto" bid feature. **What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?** It doesn't look great, and we had a few troubles with network at our events (not the software's fault but an issue when relying on it). We also had a few people get outbid notifications when they were not outbid so they were then confused when they won the item. **What problems is ReadySetAuction solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main reason we went with a software was so that we could easily collect credit card information to assure a smoother, and more complete check out of guests. So far so good! ### 3. Great for small nonprofits **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julia M. | Opera and Theater Dramaturg, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2018 **What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?** For a young nonprofit, ReadySetAuction offers a great amount of staff control for orgs that are new to auction-style fundraisers for galas etc. **What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?** ReadySetAuction's interface takes some getting used to, and the user control—while it makes the software less expensive—means that multiple people needed to be trained in it to prevent issues. **What problems is ReadySetAuction solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helped our nonprofit track attendees, in-kind donated auction items, yields, and more for our first-ever gala. ### 4. There's a lot to like if you can handle the cost **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Darren R. | AVP, Training and Development, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2017 **What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?** You don't need to be a computer expert to use the product. There is no coding involved. You can set up your sponsors, packages and bidders fairly easily. I love that you can run easily set up and manage an online auction in lieu of or in addition to a live or silent auction. You may establish maximum bids, set “buy it now” thresholds, etc. It is highly flexible. **What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?** It's among the more expensive options. I also wish you could utilize the software for a longer period of time after the event. **What problems is ReadySetAuction solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a way to set up and manage an online and in-person auction event for a non-profit. This allows us to easily do so. And it allows us to have multiple individuals perform functions of varying levels of complexity without requiring massive training. ### 5.
