Chose Bonterra OneCause
It's more cost effective, for starters. OneCause also has the same features when it comes to events, auctions, and fundraising. Lastly, we feel more supported by the OneCause support team and our success manager than we did with alternative platforms.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We like Event Farms bulk upload (excel) capabilities. Member clicks registration format is superior. OneCause is better than Accrisoft.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
OneCause is much more simplified and the service level is much higher. BetterUnite does not have the same level of customer service, and their platform is not as user friendly.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
Give Lively has helped us with digital events and continues to process some of the sustaining donors we got from those events. We don't use it for in-person events because their tool doesn't allow for credit card swiping/saving at check-in, which is what we use for our …

I was not involved in the selection but I am happy with the choice
Chose Bonterra OneCause
This software is more function inclusive and broad than the others.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
OneCause had the most features we needed and the support sold us.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
Blackbaud did not have the functionality that I was looking for. I felt like it was too limited. It did not have the silent auction component that I was looking for. Also, Blackbaud charges by the record, which can be very costly, especially when I have a minimum of 10,000 …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We selected OneCause for the sole reason that they were willing to provide OneCause staff at our 500 in-person event
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We selected OneCause initially because of the abundance of features. After doing a few events, the price point and frustration were not worth it.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
OneCause is superior in many ways to greatergiving.
The website is easy to navigate and the courses and trainings that are offered allow for a smooth transition.
There is less room for error, and OneCause helps streamline the process of running such a large event. We've had …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We selected OneCause because of the ease of use for us and our auction goers, the competitive price, and the references we got from other Jr leagues. We liked that OneCause would provide staff for our first auction, giving us peace of mind, but we also like that we could do it …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
Much more modern platform that allowed our event to move online
Chose Bonterra OneCause
In our experience, OneCause has more lift on the front end than Greater Giving. Especially since, in my opinion, the registration for a live event isn't of the caliber that I've seen from GG. But, if you can handle the registration and use a third-party tool like GivingFuel or …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We absolutely love 4agood cause for day to day/peer to peer fundraising however, it just was not as robust when it came to event needs which required us to use outside software for those reasons. GiveSmart was good, however a change in their packages required outside sourcing …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
I haven't used anything else.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
We had used GiveSmart in the past and had issues with connectivity during our event, when our contract was up we decided to investigate other platforms, we looked at more than just those 3, but can't recall the others. Givebutter - I absolutely LOVE Givebutter, so simple to …
Chose Bonterra OneCause
OneCause is the only auction platform we’ve used and it’s been a great experience. Based off research, OneCause is the leading fundraising platform.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
As previously stated, no comparison. Customer service is above and beyond, user-friendly, technically sound, and funds available immediately.
Chose Bonterra OneCause
OneCause was hands down the best option for us compared to the other services provided by other companies. The other companies have similar functions, but OneCause was the easiest to understand while having affordable prices.

They are very well suited at assisting with troubleshooting at registration. They are very helpful at the end of the event, where we are collecting payments and closing out auction items. The ticket process is confusing, and the table seating process is cumbersome.

Pros
Bonterra
  • The raffle set-up is very easy to navigate and allows you to adapt your location's needs for raffle laws.
  • The site design makes it so easy for you to set up your event page in minutes.
  • OneCause makes it very easy for table management for large events.

Cons
Bonterra
  • Auto-numbering items in auctions need to be editable. Right now, when you add items, they are numbered consecutively, and you can't edit them. I want all of my items to be numbered together by item type. We always have last-minute additions, but there is no ability to renumber.

We are a very small non-profit and are actually looking to use another service just to cut costs, but we may not stay with them and will coming running back to OneCause if we can't make the other option work! The ONLY reason to move would be to reduce the over-head cost of the platform.

Usability
Bonterra
Use of the software is generally fine, but the setup and implementation are not always intuitive. Though the knowledgebase is robust and covers a lot of areas (and the support team is pleasant and knowledgeable), the event setup process (particularly when setting up payment and bank information) can be a bit cumbersome and should really be streamlined

Shelbe was my point person and she was available for me at absolutely anytime. No question was stupid or obvious in her eyes and she always gave me the exact responses and resources I needed to succeed. Could not be more complimentary of this software! Just have to convince my team to use it for more areas now!

In-Person Training

We hired OneCause to guide us through our first event after we signed up with them. The staff they sent were pros. They gave us professional guidance and support. Once we had been shown the ropes, we knew we could take the reins and confidently run our next event

Very thorough and nice to have a refresher when needed. Nice to see when I haven't used in a little while and refresh my mind how to update.

Implementation Rating

I don't know if my insights are key but I can say that implementation was done in-house without any outside support for the solution. The staff influencing the solution had very little technical expertise and ability as well which showed just how easily the software was to implement.

We looked at Auctria and GiveSmart, though we didn't go into great detail with either. We ultimately selected OneCause based on the recommendation of another local school that used it for its auction software. The customer service and support as we made this decision and transition was a confirmation for us.
