OneCause vs. RunSignUp

I'm not sure if it is because I have used it so much, but OneCause is the easiest self-explanatory event platform. After 15-20 minutes of use, anyone should be able to navigate at a basic level. It is very user-friendly, and I have been able to train volunteer staff effectively.

RunSignUp is a well-templated online platform for athletic event registrations. The customer service is awesome and we have found the platform to be fairly user-friendly and intuitive. The platform falls a bit short when a registrant is trying to register multiple people within a single transaction using a registration kiosk. Other than that though, it’s a fairly simple platform with good reporting capability.

• Customer service during planning phases- reps always get back to me to help answer my questions.
• Event managers are always great to work with at our Gala. We really need someone to make sure the whole program runs well, and OneCause never disappoints.
• Variety of events that we can use this for is awesome! No need for paypal, venmo, etc.
• Mobile bidding has been a game changer for us. People can participate in our auction even if they cannot attend the event!
• Platform is relatively easy to use- intuitive even for those who are not techy!

• Built-in templates to make design a breeze

• Simple and effective email tool
• Easy reporting
• Easy learning curve

• Wanted to be able to manually add gifts to a fund appeal (at least in our package)
• Wish we had the ability to add more polish to our auction page and scoreboard ourselves (not have to pay OneCause to do it for us)
• Would like to have the set-up of a new event to be more intuitive.

Incentivized

• Additional information on participants.
• Messaging to users or participants.
• Calendar function is hard to use.

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.

I think that OneCause is a very intuitive, user-friendly platform on the non-profit user's side and also from the donor's perspective. They have created a software that is good for both mobile devices and desktop computers. The customization allowed for your campaigns is also incredible - you can make each fundraising website feel like a true extension of your non-profit

This feature is amazing. Nice to have reports immediately when the event (auction) is over

The OneCause staff is knowledgeable and willing to assist. When we have had questions, they are quick to respond and provide assistance. Our assigned event manager each year has been very good about checking in with us to make sure planning is running smoothly. Additionally, the onsite team has always been friendly and helpful. They stay with us throughout the event to address any issues that may arise.

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.

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.

I liked RunSignUp much more as it was much better suited for what we were looking to use it for and do. The functionality matched our needs and we were able to fine-tune exactly what we needed from the system without losing too much of the user experience.
