## Reviews

### "OneCause is a One Stop Shop\!" — 5.0/5

> **Hannah** | *March 24, 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The OneCause platform is super user-friendly and easy to use. As an admin of our account and someone who hadn't used a platform like this before, I was really happy with the features and the ability to customize the Giving Center to look on-brand. We appreciated the support team's readiness and willingness to help us whenever needed, and they were always able to answer our super-specific questions.
> 
> **Cons**: While there are a lot of customizable options, there were a few things we wanted to do that we couldn't. For example, we wanted to turn off max-bidding, which wasn't possible. We also wanted to use HTML for our package restrictions.

-----

### "Happy Customer" — 5.0/5

> **Tim** | *September 16, 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm slightly technophobic but found that the OneCause fundraising platform is user friendly, intuitive, safe for donors and creates an organized approach to our fundraising event that I didn't know I needed\! Donors and bidders were able to access our event with ease. From an event host's perspective, they have thought  of everything and it's worth the money\!
> 
> **Cons**: I have yet to find anything that I really dislike.  If I had to choose something it would be that there were times I felt like I was left alone to figure out the learning phase. I could have used someone who would make sure I am on track to get the most out of the software and that I am reviewing all the tutorials
> 
> We have held three events and three times I have needed OneCause support due to a my user errors. The OneCause staff was responsive, immediately available and able to resolve the matter quickly so that a potential major problem was removed completely. Our events were successful, enjoyable and the culmination of hard work and a lasting partnership with OneCause.

### "OneCause Disappoints" — 2.0/5

> **Karen** | *October 10, 2024* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a database of several of our previous galas.
> 
> **Cons**: The software has a LOT of glitches and the people at OneCause don't really seem to care at all.
> 
> Very disappointing.  The database deleted items after we had already packaged them.  It was not a quick fix as the OC reps insinuated.  There were 3 people working on it for a few hours.  The database erroneously indicated a sale was made the day before our event.  Portions of the database deleted the letter "D" and replaced it with "=" making it difficult to search names to resolve problems.  The database randomly added a guest from last year to the receipt for an unrelated person this year.  I can only wonder what errors were not caught by us.

### "Above and Beyond Customer Service and Guest Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Lidia** | *July 11, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I love most about using OneCause is how easy and fun it makes fundraising\! The platform is incredibly user-friendly—for both guests and organizers. From mobile bidding to real-time updates, everything runs so very smoothly and efficiently. I especially appreciate how OneCause helps create excitement during events and keeps guests engaged. It has truly streamlined our auction process and helped us raise more money while giving supporters a great experience\!
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least about BidPal is that uploading images via Dropbox has been a bit challenging to navigate at times. It’s not very intuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it becomes more manageable. I do plan on migrating to the new OneCause Fundraising Platform, and I understand that this process is much easier there—which I’m really looking forward to\!
> 
> One of the absolute best parts of using OneCause is their outstanding customer support. Every time I’ve had a question or needed help, their team has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to assist. What truly sets them apart, though, is the on-site event specialist—they are a total game-changer\! Having a OneCause expert at our event made everything run seamlessly. Their calm, professional presence gave me so much peace of mind, and they handled everything from setup to guest questions with ease and enthusiasm. It felt like having an extra team member who was 100% invested in our success. Truly top-notch service\!

### "Learning Curves - but an excellent product\!" — 4.0/5

> **Saeed** | *August 6, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The capabilities to populate registration details from an admin-perspective and the intuitive check-in process the day of. I also liked the text messaging platform for updates throughout the event. The variety of reporting metrics is also excellent. Great real-time chat support as well.
> 
> **Cons**: The user experience/interface of setting up Giving Center pages is a bit clunky and difficult to navigate. The refund/outstanding balance process is a bit inconsistent as well.
> 
> I've generally had a great experience with OneCause, as the "power-user" on my team. There is admittedly a learning curve, given the vast amount of features available, but overall the online support is very helpful for granular questions I've encountered, and the event management process, from table set up to silent auction packages, is fairly plug and play.
