Three Ways to Sell at Auction.
One Software Behind All of Them.

Whether you run 24/7 timed bidding, curated auction events, or a full marketplace with fixed-price sales — it's the same installation, the same admin panel, the same buyers.

Auction Events.
One Setup. Every Type of Sale.

Estate sales, liquidations, charity galas, antiques fairs, vehicle auctions, farm machinery, industrial clearances — every one of them runs the same way. You create the event, add your lots, set the closing schedule. The software handles the rest: staggered closings, proxy bidding, soft close extensions, and a single invoice per buyer for every lot they won.

No per-event fees. No setup costs per sale. Run one auction a year or one a week — the price doesn't change.

Lots close minutes apart. Bidding stays active across the whole catalog. Every buyer invoiced automatically when the last lot closes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers ask before they sign up.

How does an online auction platform work?
+
Online auction software is a platform that lets you create and run your own branded auction website. Buyers register, browse your listings, and place bids — the software handles increments, countdowns, notifications, and payments automatically.
How much does auction software cost?
+
Three plans. License: £599 one-time — full source code, self-hosted. Cloud: £63/month billed annually (£750/year) or £79/month — live in minutes on our infrastructure, branded subdomain. Managed VPS: £150/month billed annually or £199/month — dedicated server, your own domain, source code included. All plans include every auction format and zero transaction fees to us.
What's the difference between a license and a hosted plan?
+
The License (£599 one-time) gives you the full source code to install on your own server — you own it permanently with no further payments to us. Cloud (from £63/month) runs on our infrastructure; you're live in minutes with no technical setup, but without source code access. The Managed VPS (from £150/month) gives you a dedicated server, your own domain, and the source code — fully managed by us.
Can I run live and online auctions on the same platform?
+
Yes. The platform supports both formats simultaneously. You can run a live gavel auction with room and online bidders competing in real time, alongside separate timed online auctions on the same system.
Do I need technical experience?
+
No. Our hosted and managed options require zero technical knowledge. The managed site option means we handle everything — setup, hosting, updates, and ongoing support. You never touch a server.
How quickly can I launch?
+
Most hosted and managed clients are live within 3–7 days. A self-hosted license installation typically takes 1–3 days with a developer. We've had clients live and running their first auction in under a week.
Is a white label option available?
+
Yes. Our white label auction platform lets you launch under your own domain and brand name — no mention of us anywhere. Used by agencies building auction sites for clients and entrepreneurs launching their own branded platform.
What auction types does the platform support?
+
Timed online auctions, live and webcast auctions, silent auctions, penny auctions, and estate or property sales. All formats are available on a single installation — you choose which to enable.
