# Free, Open Source Silent Auctions

BidHub was [hastily built by HubSpot](https://dev.hubspot.com/blog/building-an-auction-app-in-a-weekend) after finding out that this sort of thing doesn't already exist. Not for free, anyway.  
So now it does. Give it a shot!

 

## Cost: zero dollars.

BidHub was designed for HubSpot's charity auction, and we're hoping you'll use it for yours too! It shouldn't cost money to raise money for charity.

## ![browse-1](https://www.bidhub.org/hs-fs/hub/468087/file-2235894487.png)

## Browse and Search

Keep up on items you've bid on, shine a light on underappreciated items with no bids, and search for words or specific donors.

## Keep an Eye on Everything

Contact your winners after the event. Compulsively refresh during the event to see the current totals.

## Time: like an hour or two.

Get a developer to help you out, and setting up BidHub shouldn't take more than a few hours. You'll be bidding trillions of dollars on test objects in no time.

## ![push-1](https://www.bidhub.org/hs-fs/hub/468087/file-2235104019.png)

## Push Notifications

Know as soon as someone has bested your bid. Bid higher than your mental limit "because it's for charity".

## Customize It

Replace our graphics with yours and you could probably pretend you wrote it all yourself.
