What Auctria does

Auctria is a privately held SaaS company that provides a web- and mobile-based platform for running fundraising events, including silent, live, and online auctions, ticket and table sales, donations and paddle raises, sponsorship management, raffles, and customizable event websites. The platform is built around integrated payment processing via Stripe and Authorize.net, mobile bidding with real-time alerts and soft-close bid extensions, over 100 report templates for analytics, and CRM data export. Customers retain full ownership of donor funds (Auctria never holds them) and full event websites, and can access historical data even after subscription expiry.

Auctria operates a product-led, self-serve go-to-market model with optional high-touch services layered on top. Pricing is published transparently on the website and consists of three annual tiers: a free Explorer plan (capped at $10K total event income per year, 250 bidders per event, 1% credit card fee), an Emerald plan at $375/year (up to $50K income, 750 bidders, 0.5% fee), and a Diamond plan at $750/year (unlimited income, 1,000 bidders, 99 team members, 0.25% fee). Revenue is supplemented by Auctria Launch event setup services ($499-$749 per event) and Auctria Assist consultation calls ($49.95-$99.95), plus small per-transaction credit card processing fees and SMS add-ons in the US and Canada.

The company serves primarily small and mid-sized organizations in North America — including nonprofits, schools and PTOs, faith-based groups, community organizations, and professional auctioneers — with multi-currency support extending potential reach to EUR, AUD, and JPY markets. Founded in 2011 by a founder who continues to serve as Chief Software Engineer, Auctria has been bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding and operates with 1-10 employees. The company reports that its customers have collectively raised over $1.75 billion through the platform since inception, and it holds leadership recognition across G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp in the nonprofit fundraising software category.
