Best EventCaddy Alternatives
The best alternatives to EventCaddy for charity golf tournaments.
EventCaddy gives organizers a polished, website-builder feel for their event page, but it charges per-event fees and lacks native text-to-bid auction and AI reporting. Redswing is a strong EventCaddy alternative for charity fundraisers who want a native SMS auction and a board-ready report. It is free to set up, with no per-event fee.
Why organizers look for a EventCaddy alternative
- EventCaddy uses per-event and commission pricing, so the cost lands whether or not the event raises much; organizers on a tight budget often want a pure percentage model.
- There is no native text-to-bid (SMS bidding) from the course, so auctions rely on browser bidding or a separate tool.
- There is no AI post-event fundraising report, so the board recap and next-year follow-through fall back to a spreadsheet.
