Capabilities

Everything guests need to bid from their phone.

momoGood mobile bidding replaces paper bid sheets with a browser-based experience that works on any phone. No app, no hardware, no friction.

Bid from any phone — no download

Guests scan a QR code or tap a link and start bidding from their mobile browser. No app store, no login wall, no barrier to the first bid.

Real-time outbid alerts by text

When a guest is outbid, they get a text message within seconds with the item name, new bid, and a link to bid again. Keeps guests engaged all night.

Browse and bid from the table

Guests scroll through item photos, descriptions, and current bids without leaving their seat. No walking the room, no squinting at bid sheets.

Silent, live, and fund-a-need

Mobile bidding works across auction formats. Silent auction competitive bidding, live auction paddle raises, and fund-a-need pledges all run from the same guest experience.

Registration and preview bidding

Guests register ahead of the event and browse items before the night begins. Preview bidding builds excitement and drives opening bids higher.

In-person, virtual, or hybrid

Mobile bidding works the same whether guests are in the ballroom or on their couch. Remote bidders see the same items, get the same alerts, and check out the same way.

How guests use it
