## What is iBid?

iBid is a mobile bidding platform designed with charities in mind. This mobile bidding platform has simplified the way charities connect with their donors by allowing both guests and auction managers to access any part of the auction process on their mobile device. Don't let the cost of an auction service get in between you and your event's proceeds. The level of impact iBid has on your auctions proceeds will be very apparent for a cost everyone can afford!

October 13, 2020

I wasn't happy. The interface is not professional enough and the service ping coudln't handle 300 guests.

Pros

In depth reporting. The reporting was really good as you can compare apples to apples.

Cons

Not user friendly. We also kept losing connection with the site. There were hiccups as we kept having to reload Ibid.

Switched from

[GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/)

We signed up with an event planner who suggested they liked this the most.

Reasons for choosing iBid

Instructed by event planner. Not a happy camper. We did not like IBid.
