AirAuctioneer has standout auction tools like automatic extension features, self-managed payouts, automated proxy bidding, and custom auction pages. Givebutter offers a comparable suite of silent auction solutions, including auto-charge options and QR codes for bid sheets.
However, Givebutter goes beyond AirAuctioneer by providing robust donor management, marketing, and engagement tools like mass texting and emailing. It also offers team fundraising features, embeddable donate buttons, and convenient payment options such as PayPal and Venmo (so donors aren’t limited to just credit cards!).
Tap to Pay
Free forever thanks to optional donor tips
AirAuctioneer pricing is determined by purchasing credits in bundles, with each auction item costing one credit. New accounts receive five free credits. However, using more than five credits can lead to prices ranging from $1.25 to $5 per item—which can become quite costly for larger events. In contrast, Givebutter offers completely free features and services without any per-item fees.

How is Givebutter free?
AirAuctioneer reviews are few and far between, and the platform only offers email assistance to its users. Givebutter, on the other hand, provides extensive support services and has received hundreds of rave reviews—not to mention some of the highest customer support scores in the industry.
