## Reviews

### "The most reliable, user friendly platform we trust year after year" — 5.0/5

> **Ines** | *17 August 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Incredibly straigthforward to use platform. We have used this for 4 years in a row to support our yearly auction and we would not have pulled it through so seamlessly every time without it. It's set up in a way that everything has been thought out and if you can't find your answer in the VERY helpful tutorials, the agents are always at hand to support and super prompt every time.
> 
> **Cons**: There is genuinely nothing I dislike about GalaBid. Everything is straightfoward and easy to manage.
> 
> Our overall experience has been fantastic. The platform has made running our annual auction incredibly easy and stress-free, particularly when managing a large number of bidders and items. Everything is intuitive and well organised, and we’ve always felt supported whenever we’ve had a question or needed assistance. After four years of using the platform, we’ve consistently had a smooth and reliable experience and would absolutely recommend it to others.

>

### "Galabid gave our event the boost we needed\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *12 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and setup, excellent customer service, and really useful to be able to have auction items, raffle tickets, merchandise sales and a donation button all in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Setting up the widgets and adding the URL links was a bit "clunky" but once it was done it worked great.
> 
> We used it to enhance a fundraising gala for our organisation and it was a huge success. We were able to sell raffle tickets very easily and it really made a difference to our cause.

### "GalaBid makes it easy to raise money with fab customer service" — 5.0/5

> **Hayley** | *9 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: No fees, exceptional customer service, very helpful staff always there to help, ability to customise the auction
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it was a bit tricky to navigate to the right sections that I needed but this was easily resolved by the fab customer service
>

### "School Art Auction" — 5.0/5

> **Kim** | *2 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the online chat is excellent. the reporting features afterwards are great and the online auction features like all the extra details you can tweak and the comms functions are also excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't see the reserve and current bid in my back end view.  I can either see bids on each item, but not what the reserve is or I can see the reserve but can't see what the bids are at.  I don't want to have to download a report to see these details side by side.
> 
> I would say it's been excellent. It's the 3rd time we've used it and it's been fantastic each time.  Having the free (with tip option) this time has made the experience even better.
