organizers who want an all-in-one fundraising platform with text-to-bid auction, no-app scoring, and an AI board report at no upfront cost.

Full tournament management vs. contest bundles
Perfect Golf Event's strength is bundled hole-in-one insurance and physical contest prizes — it's often chosen specifically for that add-on, not as a comprehensive tournament platform. Redswing covers registration, scoring, auction, sponsors, donations, and reporting in a single system with no per-event fee.
Silent auction
Perfect Golf Event does not include native silent auction functionality — organizers typically use a separate tool. Redswing includes text-to-bid auction where players bid via SMS from anywhere on the course and receive automated outbid alerts throughout the round.
Cost structure
Perfect Golf Event charges $99–$997 per event depending on the prize tier selected, plus a 3.9% processing fee on registration. Redswing has no per-event fee and no upfront cost — it charges a percentage of revenue raised only.
Pricing
Perfect Golf Event charges $99–$997 per event plus 3.9% processing. Redswing is free to set up — 3% of registration, 5% of auction and sponsors, 0% on donations.
