What ListerLeo's page says about Gavelist
ListerLeo publishes its own comparison at listerleo.com/compare/gavelist. Here are the facts behind each point it makes about us.
Exports: “HiBid, LiveAuctioneers, CSV/XLS”
The full list: HiBid (via Auction Flex 360: a file you import into Auction Flex 360, which uploads to HiBid), Auction Flex 360, LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, BidWrangler, AuctionNinja, an Auctioneer Software workbook, an eBay drafts file and a generic CSV. Each is a file you download and upload to the platform.
Pricing: “per lot, from pay-as-you-go to monthly tiers”
Correct: $0.15 a lot pay-as-you-go, or monthly plans from $79 for 1,000 lots, with 0% of sales.
Mobile experience: “Web app”
Correct. Gavelist runs in a web browser; photos from any phone or camera work.
“Not advertised”: Barcode / UPC scanning; Warehouse locations & put-away; Pick lists from auction results; Label printing (Zebra / thermal); Manifest reconciliation; Team roles & permissions; Scheduled / automated exports
Correct: Gavelist has none of these. It doesn't run a warehouse or manage team roles; it writes the catalog and gives you the file for your auction platform.
When ListerLeo is the better fit
Your sales start at a loading dock
If you run returns, liquidation or warehouse stock, ListerLeo covers barcode intake, put-away locations, pick lists, labels and manifest matching. Gavelist does none of that.
Your team catalogs on phones
ListerLeo has native iOS and Android apps. Gavelist runs in a web browser.
You want exports to run on a schedule
ListerLeo can push exports by FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3 or webhook. With Gavelist, you download the file and upload it yourself.
You catalog more than about 1,450 lots a month with one user
ListerLeo is a flat $119 a month ($109 on a 12-month term), plus $39 a month for each added team member. Gavelist's 1,000-lot plan is $79 plus $0.09 a lot above that, so for one user ListerLeo costs less above about 1,450 lots a month.
Gavelist is built for the other case: a sale photographed item by item, such as an estate or a consignment, described in one batch, and exported to the auction platform you already sell on.

Does Gavelist post my catalog to HiBid?
No. Gavelist gives you a file to download, and the download page shows the upload steps. For HiBid, that's the Auction Flex 360 file, which you import into Auction Flex 360 and upload to HiBid from there.
Does Gavelist scan barcodes or manage warehouse locations?
No. If your sales start at a loading dock with barcoded returns or liquidation stock, a warehouse tool like ListerLeo covers intake that Gavelist doesn't. Gavelist is built for sales photographed item by item, such as estates and consignments.
