GalaBid brings auctions, raffles, event ticketing and donations together in a fundraising campaign. Participants open a campaign link in a browser on any device, without needing an app store download. Silent auction tools include automatic closing, winner notifications, overtime bidding, sealed bids and reserve prices. Raffles support electronic tickets, automated notifications and a certified random number generator for draws. Stripe processes payments, and GalaBid says campaign funds go from Stripe directly to the fundraiser’s bank account. Apple Pay and Google Pay are listed as participant payment options. The platform serves charities, nonprofits, community groups and individual fundraisers, with human fundraising support available seven days a week. The free plan allows optional participant tips, with 10% of tips shared with the cause. The one-time Pro plan costs 4.90 USD once and has no tip prompts or revenue share; Flat Fee costs 1250.00 USD once, also without tip prompts or revenue share. Displayed prices do not apply in all countries, and uploaded files can be up to 8MB.
