Qgiv review

Best event and auction tooling at a fair fee.

Verdict

Qgiv is the pick for event-heavy fundraising because its auctions, mobile bidding, and text-to-give run a gala end to end while keeping platform fees modest.

What customers praise

Strong auctions, mobile bidding, peer-to-peer, and text-to-give cover in-person and hybrid events without a costly add-on.

What customers criticise

Its native CRM is thinner than dedicated databases, so many users pair it with a separate donor system.

Best for

Nonprofits running galas, auctions, and events that want text-to-give, mobile bidding, and peer-to-peer without a big platform fee.
