Givebutter vs FreeAuctionSite: Different Tools for Different Needs

Givebutter is a comprehensive fundraising platform with auctions, donations, ticketing, and more. It's powerful — but sometimes you don't need all that power.

FreeAuctionSite does one thing: display auction items and bids on a big screen. That's it. No mobile bidding, no payment processing, no complex setup. Just a beautiful display.

When to Use Givebutter

• You want guests to bid from their phones
• You need integrated payment processing
• You're running a large, complex event
• You want donation pages and ticketing together

When to Use FreeAuctionSite Instead

• You just need a visual display of items and bids
• You're keeping traditional paper bid sheets
• You want something up and running in 5 minutes
• You don't want to create accounts or learn new software
• Budget is tight and every dollar matters

The Bottom Line

Givebutter is excellent if you need a full-featured auction platform. But if you just want to display items on a screen while keeping your existing auction process, FreeAuctionSite is simpler, faster, and free.

Many organizations use FreeAuctionSite alongside their existing tools — or as a stepping stone before committing to a larger platform.
