Paddle-Up vs Handbid

Handbid focuses on helping organizations run strong auction and bidding experiences. For their current product scope and pricing, use Handbid's own materials. Below is how Paddle-Up is being designedrelative to a specialist bidding platform—not a claim-for-claim audit.

Bidding inside the full season

Mobile bidding solves auction night; many teams still export results into other systems for tickets, donations, and follow-up. We're building Paddle-Up so auctions—silent, online, or live share data with ticketing, stores, and donor communications in one campaign layer, with checkout and payouts through Stripe. If your priority is one ledger from preview to thank-you, that is the gap we aim to fill compared to a bidding-first toolset.

Planned pricing model

We plan standard Stripe processing plus $0.15 per successful transaction to Paddle-Up, with full feature access at launch. Handbid's pricing may reflect subscription or event-based models; compare total cost for your auction mix and the rest of your fundraising stack.

Status

Paddle-Up is in development and not generally available. If you need production mobile bidding today, Handbid and similar vendors are established choices. Join the waitlist if you want updates on a Stripe-first platform that treats bidding as part of the whole campaign—not only auction night.
