About

Since 2012, AuctionMethod has provided white-label auction software and custom auction software development for the auction industry. Based in Massachusetts, serving the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. AuctionMethod serves auctioneers, estate liquidators, farm and heavy equipment, industrial, salvage and recycling, non-profit, corporations, retail liquidators, auto/car dealers, real estate, arts and collectibles, and single-use auction businesses. AuctionMethod is the winner of the SourceForge Spring 2026 Top Performer Award in Auction Software, and is rated 4.9/5 on Capterra and SourceForge. AuctionMethod's model includes no commissions, no per-lot fees, no platform skim, and no contract, so clients keep the revenue from every sale instead of splitting it with the platform. Clients also keep 100% ownership of their bidder lists, seller lists, item data, images, and transaction history on a fully white-label auction website rather than a shared marketplace listing. The platform covers catalog and lot management, consignor setup, bidder registration, invoicing, payment processing, tax handling, and reporting in one system. Auction event types include timed online auctions, simulcast auctions, blind timed auctions, catalog-only, fixed-price, and perpetual events. AuctionMethod includes a mobile app for iOS and Android and integrates with Fiserv, Stripe, Authorize.net, and more. Hosted on AWS with separate client databases, AuctionMethod specializes in real-time speed for live, rapid-fire simulcast auctions, where latency is critical and must stay under one second so online bidders do not miss the auctioneer's hammer, and the platform is fully hosted with daily backups, auto-scaling for high traffic, and security updates included, with 100% uptime tracked on a public status page. For operations whose workflows fall outside the standard product, AuctionMethod also builds custom auction software development solutions, a dedicated codebase built around a client's specific processes, quoted at a fixed rate. AuctionMethod's pricing starts at $100/mo with a $250 one-time setup charge, and is published publicly. AuctionMethod offers a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

Easy website setup & customization tools – straightforward to update and manage. User-friendly mobile cataloging app – works offline and syncs later. Simple auction setup – templates make creating new auctions fast and efficient. Quick auction closing & invoicing – can be done in just minutes, even remotely. Whitelist bidder feature – ensures only approved and vetted bidders participate. e-Sign integration – bidders must accept terms and property information before approval. Reliable performance – no major issues since implementation. Excellent value for cost – strong features at a competitive price. Great fit for real estate auctions – tailored functions for vetting buyers.
  • We have been in business since 2012. In 2018 we began experience growing pains and our website auction software was unable to handle the amount of traffic and items we had on a weekly basis. I'm very slow for change but after our site kept crashing and we had to restart auctions I decided to reach out and find out what AuctionMethod was all about. Daniel and his team walked us thru the change of the platform. We haven't experienced any crashes of the website nor slowness on the bidding end. It was an adjustment for our staff and customers to get used to at first but I am very very thankful we did the switch. Our site was able to look the same with way more features and accessibility. We love it! Bidding is more fun than having to refresh a page constantly. We have a lot of volume of items weekly so we've pushed the software as hard as we can.
  • Super easy platform to run and use. I had no tech experience and was on to it very quickly. Support from AuctionMethod is also outstanding. Prompt and courteous.
  • Handles everything from creating auction listings to email reminders to invoicing in one system. We use the mobile cataloging tools all the time and it makes the whole process way smoother.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • -It's cheap -very user friendly for the business and the visitors -everything is setup and you can start running auctions the same day you sign up -quick response from support and they are very easy to work with -changes are very easy to make if you just ask for them

Cons

  • -There are a few things that they are not able to change due to the architecture of the website -tickets automatically close after 2 days, which can be deceiving if they are working on a large project for you and suddenly the ticket appears to be closed -There is no number to call for support in case of an emergency
