## Reviews

### "Great event management and hosting platform" — 5.0/5

> **Tracie** | *25 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a great product for non-profit organizations running auctions or events. They allow “ala carte” option add ons for a reasonable price per event. The cost to host our auction on the platform was reasonable and highly effective. Customer service was excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: Better Unite was not as easy to manage on mobile platforms. It did require many steps throughout the auction and event process.
> 
> Great. The platform is affordable and robust for even small non-profit organizations holding events and auctions. Their customer service team responded timely, was kind, and thorough in all guidance.

### "My \#1 fundraising software I recommend to all of my clients." — 5.0/5

> **Kandice** | *6 August 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is well rounded and has everything my clients need for a wonderful price. It makes my job as a fundraising consultant very easy.
> 
> **Cons**: I sometimes have a hard time navigating the site. The platform has many features that live in multiple places but sometimes I think the flow could be better.
> 
> I have recommended this software as my \#1 fundraising platform. After I demo the software to my clients, they almost always make the switch immediately. If they don't switch immediately, they tend to switch the following year.

### "Great starter donor management software" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *23 October 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was free and easy to use. Customer support very responsive and detailed once you got them on email. They have a library of commonly asked questions and answers
> 
> **Cons**: No live customer support. Submitting a ticket takes time to hear back for anything time sensitive.
> 
> It was great for our first donor management system. Since it was free, it allowed us the time to learn the system while not also racking up a monthly bill. We could learn at our own pace and not be pressing to get a ROI by using it too quickly without enough expertise

### "Love BetterUnite\!" — 5.0/5

> **Millie** | *5 August 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: BetterUnite has completely transformed the way we manage our fundraising events. The platform is incredibly comprehensive, combining event management, ticketing, auctions, donor tracking, and giving pages all in one place—which saves us so much time and hassle. It's user-friendly on both the admin and donor sides, and their automation features have streamlined our workflows. One of the biggest pros, though, is their outstanding customer support. Our account manager, \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10;, has been an absolute rockstar—knowledgeable, responsive, and always ready to help us make the most of the platform. With BetterUnite, we feel more empowered and efficient in our mission to raise funds and engage our community.
> 
> **Cons**: The backend dashboard is feature-rich, so it can be less intuitive without training. While functional, certain features on the mobile view (especially admin tools) aren’t as seamless or intuitive as on desktop.
> 
> BetterUnite has been a game-changer for our fundraising events, and our account manager, \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10;, has been absolutely incredible\! Her support, expertise, and quick responses make all the difference. \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; truly understands the nonprofit world and goes above and beyond to help us succeed. We’re so grateful for her and the BetterUnite platform\!

> 
> **Cons**: We haven't experienced any strong negatives. Any issues have been resolved quickly by BetterUnite support
