As the name suggests, Silent Auction Pro offers a comprehensive auction toolkit that includes paddle raises, seating management, and detailed progress reports. Similar to Givebutter, this platform allows nonprofits to manage ticket sales for in-person, virtual, or hybrid events. Both platforms also provide bidders with modern auction tools such as automatic bid notifications, text-to-donate, and QR codes for paper bid sheets.
However, Givebutter goes beyond by offering unlimited custom fundraising pages, donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, a built-in CRM, and flexible payment methods. Givebutter provides a truly all-in-one software solution without any additional cost.

Silent Auction Pro pricing varies depending on the features you need and whether you host virtual or in-person events. In addition to an annual subscription, a 2% fee is applied to the proceeds of each auction. In contrast, Givebutter is free to use and only requires payment processing fees—which 95% of donors choose to cover.

Silent Auction Pro receives high praise for its customer support, which includes complementary coaching and night-of event support. However, Givebutter outshines the competition with its user-friendly interface, as evidenced by its numerous positive online reviews.
