Number of Seats/Users: WeAuction offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows WeAuction that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from WeAuction. WeAuction reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: WeAuction offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from WeAuction. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: WeAuction often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that WeAuction performs very strongly for Spendbase clients who run charity, real estate, and mixed-format auctions.

Based on what our clients share with us, the main strengths look like this:

• Ease of use & onboarding
• Very user‑friendly interface for bidders and admins
• Fast setup of new auctions and collections

• Smooth import of documents, images, and videos

• Professional experience

• Auctions look polished and “enterprise‑grade” even for one‑off charity events
• Real‑time bidding works well, including live and internet auctions combined

• Video streaming is described as smooth and without noticeable delay

• Operational reliability

• High availability during live events
• Helpful and responsive support team
• Practical tools for day‑to‑day auction management

From a Spendbase discount and cost‑optimization view, our internal data shows that clients value WeAuction because:

• It reduces time spent setting up and managing auctions (lower internal labor cost)
• It makes it easier to reuse the same platform for multiple events
• It integrates with existing tools via API, which helps avoid extra manual work or extra software

We also see some recurring gaps and feature wishes:

• Information & content
• Need for richer “info pages” inside the platform to explain auction rules, charity goals, etc.

• Desire for multilingual collection descriptions to support international buyers

• Communication & privacy

• Interest in push notifications via SMS in addition to email or in‑app alerts
• Preference in some cases for fully anonymous bidding (no country or bidder details shown)

What this means for Spendbase clients:

• If you run frequent auctions across regions, plan for:
• Multilingual content workarounds (e.g., manual duplication of lots)

• Clear communication channels outside the platform until SMS alerts are available

• If anonymity is important (high‑value or sensitive auctions), negotiate:

• What bidder data is visible
• Any custom privacy settings as part of your contract and discount package

Overall our internal data shows that WeAuction offers strong usability and support with a few clear areas where added features would make it even better value for money.
