Cost to build an auction site

Depending on your needs and goals

What does it cost to build an auction site?

The cost of building an auction site entirely depends on the features you need. Think of automatic bidding rounds, time limits, notifications, user roles, and payment processing.

A custom-built auction platform can easily cost €50,000. At StartPlatform, we offer an affordable alternative with our specially developed SaaS auction software. Thanks to this ready-made system, you can launch from just €1,999.

Do you have specific needs such as integrations with external systems, advanced filters or real-time bidding systems? We can still fully expand your auction site to meet your requirements.

How quickly will I earn back my investment?

The business model of an auction site is clear: you earn through bidding fees, commissions, or subscriptions. For example, charge €5 per auction posted or 10% commission per successful sale.

With 300 active sellers paying €10 per month, you’re already earning €3,000 per month. You don’t pay commission to us, only transaction fees of about €0.30 per payment. Our auction sites start at just €1,999.

For starters, we recommend our Basic version of the SaaS auction software. It includes all core auction site functionalities with a user limit. Is your platform growing? You can upgrade easily without migration costs.

What are the costs for updates and maintenance?

With an auction site from StartPlatform, updates are included in your monthly subscription. Thanks to our SaaS auction software, we automatically provide development, bug fixes, and new features — at no extra cost.

You only pay a fixed monthly fee of €149 for hosting, security, and technical maintenance of your auction site. Unlike custom-built solutions, you won’t receive separate invoices for updates or support.
