### "Great Auction Softward "

July 21, 2020

5.0

They are great with online auctions, they help give you insight and ideas to help you reach your goal

Pros

Customer service is great and friendly. 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.

### "ONE CAUSE is excellent fundraising platform!"

November 17, 2025

5.0

\[sensitive content hidden\] was great at teaching us how to use the platform. The Run of Show gives the needed framework and every customer support person was exceptional.

Pros

The entire platform is wonderful! Easy to use and comprehensive. \[sensitive content hidden\] met with us on a regular basis and was very helpful at explaining to the team how the platform works. Customer support was great and Jessica, who joined us at the event, was outstanding.

Cons

There are some redundancies at the point on entering the guests names. Also, it is very confusing for the guests to have to enter their credit card number to claim the ticket, even though their tickets were complimentary. They thought that the ticket purchase was required.

### "Don't do it"

September 3, 2025

2.0

WE are VERY disappointed. And after numerous problems right out of the gate, there is no partial or full refund. So our addictions and homeless shelter are just out $3000.

Pros

It seemed like it would make events - from internal staff events to big fundraising events- easier. It did not.

Cons

For small, free events like a Volunteer Luncheon, attendees who want to RSVP need to enter a credit card, which of course would never happen. Also it's not user friendly to set up events, and took WAY too much time and too many calls to customer service.

### "Great, Easy Auction Site"

June 15, 2026

5.0

Overall, I had a great experience with OneCause. Our consultant and event managers were all very knowledgeable and helpful. It makes my job as an event planner much easier knowing that OneCause will do a lot of the heavy lifting for me.

Pros

Very easy to use and creates a nice bidding site. The health check is also very useful. There are a lot of different features to utilize that come in handy.

Cons

The photos for the auction items come out cropped, so you often have to go back in and readjust the photos to make sure they don't get cut off.

### "One Cause is a great online platform"

November 10, 2025

4.0

I had a great experience with One Cause. As the new Events Coordinator I was able to use Zooms and online tools to learn about the One Cause platform. I was also able to schedule meetings with a One Cause person and ask my questions while looking at the screen together. I am looking forward to working with One Cause again.

Cons

People did not like that they had to enter a phone number and email address just to look at the Silent Auction on One Cause.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the Zoom trainings and screen-share sessions helped you get comfortable with the platform—especially as a new Events Coordinator. It’s great to hear that the tools and support made learning OneCause easier and more hands-on. We appreciate your note about guests needing to enter contact information to view the silent auction. This requirement helps ensure secure bidding and accurate communication, but we understand the feedback from attendees. Thank you again for choosing OneCause—and we’re happy the Pay-As-You-Go plan was a good fit for your annual auction. We look forward to supporting your next event!

November 17, 2025

5.0

Team is responsive and supportive. Onboarding is good. We've been using the system for about four or so years now.

Pros

Helpful support and account representatives Always adding new and helpful features to the software Auction offers a professional appearance and makes it easy for constituents to bid Online support library is very extensive and helpful with both videos and readable options Onsite support is great!

Cons

Our Foundation supports a very small rural hospital and the cost is a stretch for us, especially the onsite support for our auction which we find critical to the success of our event. We make it work because it has increased our auction revenue.

November 10, 2025

We’ve been very happy with OneCause. 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.

### "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.

The tool is very user friendly and has accommodated our needs for 4+ years. It has allowed us to streamline our event processes and manage tracking.

Pros

We mostly use the tool for fundraising events. It has been a great tool for communicating with our guests and selling tickets.

Cons

It often takes 24+ hours to receive a response on a Help Desk ticket; seems it should be more immediate or offer a chat option.

### "Great Registration "

November 10, 2025

4.0

After using different auction and registration platforms, OneCause 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.

### "OneCause Rocks!"

July 11, 2025

5.0

Amazing! OneCause 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.

December 10, 2024

5.0

Pretty good thus far. I'm working with the OneCause 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.

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.

### "Great Auction Software and Customer Service"

November 14, 2023

5.0

Switching to this software really improved the quality of our annual Auction and helped us reach a new level. We have used the software for 5 years now and are very happy with the quality and service we receive (taking into account the comments about the old software being better than the new software).

Pros

This online bidding software is incredibly user-friendly for our bidders and has very good administrative options for our Auction team. Also, the customer service at One Cause is always excellent. We pay extra to have an on-site representative at our event, and it has always helped our event to go smoothly. Using this software is an investment, we pay around $3,000-$4,000 total to use it just for our Auction event every year, but it is well worth the cost for the amount of money we raise and the ease of use of our bidders and team.

Cons

Last year (2022) we used the new bidding software that OneCause was developing. There were many significant problems with this bidding software that made things difficult for our bidders and our team running the event. This year (2023) we were able to switch back to their older software, and that was a much better experience. We will want to continue using this older software in the future.

### "Many good features"

August 10, 2021

4.0

We did lots of research on event/auction software before purchasing OneCause, and we found that, despite its limitations, OneCause has more functionality and flexibility than other software options. We also appreciated that we could call the OneCause support team when we needed help.

Pros

The software allows you to customize your website according to the organization's needs. It is pretty simple to process transactions, refunds, etc., when needed. OneCause also creates a database of supporters as info is being submitted, which is very helpful.

Cons

Users' login and functionality were confusing for many. We didn't like how we couldn't offer sponsorships and underwriting gifts on separate tabs on the site... The sponsorships were easily "lost" within the Auction tab, and the underwriting gifts were easily "lost" within the Tickets tab. Also, it should have been easier/less clunky for users to establish one (and only one) login and then revisit their event and guests' details to make modifications.

Overall, my experience was very good. Their customer service was good and the training was also good. I would recommend to someone needing a robust system.

Pros

OneCause is a great platform for Galas and can be a one-stop-shop for you and your guests. I liked that I could do registration, have an online auction, place our tribute book, and have livestream all in one place.

Cons

My biggest gripe is probably the cost. It is rather pricey but then you often times get what you pay for.

### "Great Fundraising Tools, with Navigation and Access Issues"

May 20, 2025

4.0

the platform offers a wide range of tools that are very helpful for organizing events and managing donor engagement. However we consistently had difficulty signing in. Every time I wanted to access the platform, the login process was frustrating and unreliable. Improving the sign-in experience would make the platform much more user-friendly.

Pros

The supports they provided us at all times during the soirée was always immediate, and during the event, they were actively resolving issues as they arose."

Cons

I find the website a bit challenging when searching for specific information. The navigation could be more intuitive, especially for users who are new to the platform. A clearer structure and improved search functionality would greatly enhance the user experience.

### "Great for traditional bidding/paddle raises"

December 12, 2024

5.0

Pros

It's one of the only pieces of software still around that does traditional paddle raise/bidding with a held credit card and charge at a later date. A lot of software requires bidders/donors to register for an account or submit their information through a form. OneCause allows for the flexibility of a more curated participant experience.

Cons

The UI/UX of the back end is old and clunky to use.

### "OneCause User"

July 21, 2022

5.0

I like using OneCause because it is easy to manage and easy to train people on. I love working with the OneCause staff online and most especially on site. The OneCause support staff is knowledgeable and promptly responds to questions or needs. The onsite staff is very friendly and work really hard to provide us with feedback on how best to maximize the features of the platform. They make recommendations but make sure they know who the client is and not overstep their bounds.

Pros

I have used this platform in my previous job and I found it to be very easy to use, like the newly updated features i.e. sponsors able to send a unique invite link to their guests. Our events team was able to jump in and use it right away. I also like that disbursements are made the next day after the event and the financial reports are easy to use or download..

Cons

Not being able to upload images directly on the site. I have to use a dropbox link to store the images I use for the pages.

### "OneCause offers a complete fundraising toolkit!"

September 20, 2022

5.0

One Cause's greatest asset is their people. The One Cause personnel is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with every OneCause representative that I encountered.

Pros

Software is easy to use and the tutorials are very helpful. OneCause has a complete suite of tools to make event management and fundraising a breeze.

Cons

I wish it offered the user the ability to be more visual. I wish that One Cause offered an online market that anyone could utilize to bid on auction prizes or to show their generosity and support.

Reason for choosing OneCause

One Cause offered in person event staffing and the price was right.

### "MCHS Foundation"

July 9, 2024

5.0

OneCause 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 OneCause 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.

### "OneCause is wonderful!"

May 30, 2023

5.0

We've used OneCause for smaller fundraising events with a silent auction and large gala events with a live auction. For any event, it's been the key to our event success.

Pros

The customer service sets OneCause apart. Knowing that you can always speak with someone at OneCause leading up to your event is incredible. They answer the phone quickly and are so easy to understand. They always present the optimal way to set it up too. The software is very intuitive to use. Both event attendees and employees have positive interaction with the software.

Cons

I can't think of any -- it's really a great platform.
