    Considered Both Products
    Momentive Software
    Chose GiveSmart
    OneCause has much of the same functionality, but GiveSmart was less expensive, which is why we went with them. Classy looks much more polished and has a lot more customization options - both on the user-facing end and the reporting/data/back end - but does not let us have user …

    Chose GiveSmart
    We selected GiveSmart over OneCause because of a few factors: Price The intuitiveness of the platform Reporting

    Chose GiveSmart
    My use of GiveSmart as a donor greatly influenced my decision to purchase. OneCause seemed to have better integration of the platform that MobileCause hopes to fill in.
    Incentivized
    Chose GiveSmart
    We have looked at both Greater Giving and OneCause, and ultimately for what you get for the same price, this seems to be the most user-friendly and easy-to-use software. The staff is always available to help with questions. We have used GiveSmart for 7 years, and see no reason …
    Incentivized
    Chose GiveSmart
    We were looking into using OneCause, then realized that GiveSmart is very comparable and we were already using the platform. Current participants would then would not need to set up a new user profile for our upcoming events. We had not been taking advantage of the full …

    Chose GiveSmart
    I checked out Handbid, OneCause and another I cannot recall. A lot of the reason I chose GiveSmart is because I had experience with them before. I had a great experience in 2013 when I had used it with another client. Since 2013 the platform has improved tremendously! The sales …

    Chose GiveSmart
    OneCause and GiveSmart are pretty similar companies. What it came down to at the end was the ease of access to our donors... GiveSmart has the capability of "split-screen" streaming; meaning donors can watch the live stream on one side of the window and participate in bidding …
    Incentivized
    Chose GiveSmart
    GiveSmart enabled us to have a Livestream event hosted directly in the same bidding/giving screen - which made it so easy for our donors as we transitioned to a virtual event in response to COVID19. OneCause was more expensive and included a transaction fee for each …

    Chose GiveSmart
    It was quite simple to initially set up the fundraising event page. It gave us options in design and reach. GiveSmart provides thorough spreadsheets which makes reconciling between our platform easy. Customer support was simple to access and available when they were needed. In …

    Chose GiveSmart
    They are similar. GiveSmart had more functionality, and we were already using one of their modules. GiveSmart also had a better price.

    Chose GiveSmart
    For a major fundraising platform, GiveSmart was the least expensive

    Chose GiveSmart
    We also checked out HandBid, Charity Proud, and Auctria. We chose GiveSmart for the breadth of capabilities, competitive pricing and credit card processing fees, unlimited logins, ease for our accounting staff to manage, and high support availability.

    Chose GiveSmart
    More robust, more visually appealing, more user-friendly; it has more options for visual design, live and silent auctions, etc.

    Chose GiveSmart
    Lacked intuitive utilization capabilities also silent auction photos and ease of use were substantially lacking. Onsite support team was another factor.

    Chose 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 OneCause
    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 …

    Chose OneCause
    We prefer OneCause to GiveSmart. The platform is better but the support team is really where we saw a major difference.
    Incentivized
    Chose OneCause
    I have also used Bidding for Good -- a FrontStream product. The main reason I choose OneCause over the others is the customer service and the in-person staffing option. And you are focused on providing event-based services -- GiveSmart is trying to be everything and it's too …

    Chose 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 …

    Good value for the money and good customer support. Even when direct account manager was unable to respond quickly, her manger was also available and willing to help us as needed. We used GiveSmart for one year and moved to OneCause BidPal, as they were able to provide …

    Chose OneCause
    OneCause is the best event software I've tried yet in terms of supporting a number of auction related features. Our event has very specific needs and OneCause seemed to check enough boxes to fit those needs. I do think in an ideal world we would use an auction/event software …

    OneCause is a great software that offers some wonderful things that other softwares cannot. It is user-friendly, adaptable, and has much more customization and event offerings than other softwares.

    OneCause offered more customization on the site, captured better donor information, and was easier to use for both staff and volunteers.
