SoldSheet.

Comparison

SoldSheet vs Auction Flex & HiBid

The category incumbent since 2000 — back-office software plus the HiBid bidding marketplace, both owned by Sandhills Global.

If you rely on HiBid's bidder pool, keep it — SoldSheet is built to publish there. But the back office is a 2000s-era product whose fees scale with your success: subscription plus 2% of hammer plus per-bid and webcast fees. If you want modern software that never takes a cut, that's us.

Where Auction Flex & HiBid wins

  • HiBid's bidder marketplace is real and valuable — thousands of auctioneers list there, and SoldSheet deliberately doesn't compete with it
  • Live simulcast clerking and multi-parcel real-estate auctions on their desktop product — surfaces SoldSheet doesn't offer

Where SoldSheet wins

  • Zero commission: no 2% of hammer, no $0.25 per bid, no webcast fees — a flat monthly price
  • AI cataloging from photos, with your review as the last word
  • A true web app — not a desktop program or a remote-desktop session
  • Exports whose descriptions don't truncate: their own import documentation caps descriptions at 250 characters; ours carries your full text
  • Unlimited users on every plan, instead of per-seat tiers

Questions

Yes — that's the design. SoldSheet produces the catalog file you upload through your own HiBid account. Your bidder relationships and marketplace presence don't change.
