No percentage fees
What your community raises stays with your organization. MyGiveKit charges a flat fee, not a cut of each bid.
No app download required
Guests bid from the phone they already have. That lowers friction and helps more people actually participate.
Use your own payment process
Take Venmo, check, cash, or connect Stripe for online payments. MyGiveKit handles the auction workflow without locking you into one path.
Run the math on a $10,000 auction
Most auction platforms take a percentage of what you raise, so the better your night goes, the bigger their invoice. Here's the same $10,000 auction under each way of charging:
| How you're charged | Cost on $10,000 raised |
|---|---|
| Percentage of proceeds (5%) | $500 on this one auction |
| Percentage of proceeds (4.5%) | $450 on this one auction |
| Percentage of proceeds (2.9%) | $290 on this one auction |
| Donor tips at checkout | Charged to your donors, not you |
| MyGiveKit Event Pass: one auction, 0% | $199 for this one auction |
| MyGiveKit All Access: flat annual fee, 0% | $299 total, every event, all year |
We compare fee models, not vendors, because pricing changes and we won't put stale numbers in a rival's mouth. Check any platform's current pricing page and see which model it uses. One thing worth knowing: “free” platforms funded by donor tips aren't free either. Those tip screens come out of your community's generosity at checkout. MyGiveKit never shows your donors a tip ask.

Frequently asked questions
How does the free plan work?
You can create your organization, set up events, add items, and preview the bidder experience at no cost. The free plan includes 1 live auction trial, plus limited access to donations, volunteers, and newsletters.
Do you take a percentage of what we raise?
Never. We charge a flat fee, not a cut of each bid or donation. This is a product principle, not a temporary promotion.
We only run one auction a year. Do we need a subscription?
No. An Event Pass is a one-time $199 for a single auction: it can go live with no item or bidder limits, through close and results, and nothing renews. Two passes cost more than a year of All Access, so if you run more than one auction a year, All Access is the better deal.
What unlocks when we upgrade?
All Access removes the usage limits and unlocks unlimited auctions, items, bidders, donations, volunteer signups, newsletters, door fee ticketing, and Stripe Connect support.
Do we need Stripe to use MyGiveKit?
No. Many organizations use Venmo, checks, cash, or in-person collection. Stripe is optional for teams that want an online checkout path.
How much does All Access cost?
All Access is one flat $299/year, under $25 a month, covering every event you run all year. There is no monthly plan and no percentage fee.
What happens after our free auction?
If MyGiveKit works for your team, unlock your next auction with an Event Pass ($199) or go All Access for unlimited events. If not, you still keep access to your account and past event data.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts or cancellation fees. Your paid access continues through the current billing period, then your account falls back to the free tier with read-only access to past events.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your data remains available in read-only mode, and you can export it as CSV whenever you need it.
