AuctionBase is a browser-based cricket auction app — there's nothing to download or install. Open it on a laptop for the main auction screen, and let team owners follow along or bid from their phones. It's built for the same IPL-style format local leagues and corporate tournaments already run manually, minus the spreadsheet and the manual purse math.
Manual auctions run on a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group work, but they break down once you have more than a handful of teams: purse totals get miscounted, someone bids after the hammer falls, and the "final" sheet gets edited three times after the auction ends. An app keeps one shared, live state that every team owner sees at the same time — see the full AuctionBase vs. Excel/WhatsApp comparison for a point-by-point breakdown.
Real-time updates, no refresh needed.
Team budgets update automatically as bids close.
Team owners can follow or bid from a phone.
A dedicated view for running the live auction on desktop.
Local cricket league organizers, society and corporate tournament committees, and anyone running a player pool of 60 to 500+ players across up to 20 teams. See the pricing plans for exact team and player limits per tier, or the online cricket auction guide for the full walkthrough of running the session with remote team owners.
Want the full feature list, or a step-by-step walkthrough of running the auction itself?
Yes — that's the default setup. Open the dedicated auctioneer screen on a laptop or desktop to call players and run the session, while each team owner follows along or bids from their own phone.
Yes, through role-based access: Organizer and Cashier roles can manage the session, while Team Owner roles are limited to bidding within their own purse — nobody outside those roles can edit purse totals.
Final squads and total spend per team are available immediately once every player is sold or passed — there's no manual reconciliation of a spreadsheet afterward.
Limits scale with your plan: the free Starter tier covers up to 4 teams and 60 players, and the Pro tier covers up to 20 teams and 500+ players. See the pricing plans for the full breakdown per tier.
