Cricket Auction Pro
Cricket Auction Pro vs CricAuction
CricAuction is one of several dedicated cricket auction tools organizers come across while searching for a way to run their player draft. Instead of guessing at its current feature set — which we can't verify and don't want to misrepresent — this page lays out the questions worth asking any cricket auction tool, and where Cricket Auction Pro's own capabilities stand today.
Why organizers use this
- Transparent, pay-per-auction pricing from free (3 teams) up to ₹6,499 (32 teams)
- Live bidding console plus a separate, purpose-built public/TV display
- Structured player registration with required photo upload and payment reference capture
- Role-based access (tournament admin, auctioneer, team manager, scorer, viewer)
- Excel and PDF result exports generated directly from live auction data
Typical use cases
- An organizer choosing between dedicated cricket auction tools for the first time
- A committee that used a different tool last season and wants a clear-eyed comparison
- A tournament secretary evaluating pricing models across tools before committing

Software feature lists change often, and we don't have visibility into CricAuction's current build. Rather than guess at their feature set, here's what we'd suggest checking yourself, alongside what we can say confidently about Cricket Auction Pro.
Evaluation checklist
| Aspect | Questions to ask about CricAuction | Cricket Auction Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Is pricing per auction/event, or does it require an annual subscription regardless of how many events you actually run? | Cricket Auction Pro prices per auction based on team count, starting free for up to 3 teams and scaling to ₹6,499 for 32 teams — no annual lock-in required. |
| Live display for spectators | Is there a dedicated, read-only screen for a hall projector or TV, separate from the admin controls? | Yes — a dedicated public display route and Auction TV mode are built specifically for spectator viewing, kept separate from the organizer console. |
| Registration workflow | Can players register online with a photo and payment reference, and does the organizer get an approval step before players enter the pool? | A shareable registration link collects name, role, photo, and payment reference, with an approve/reject workflow before players are added to the auction. |
| Team access controls | Can different committee members get different levels of access (e.g. auctioneer vs team manager vs viewer)? | Role-based access supports distinct roles including tournament admin, auctioneer, team manager, scorer, and viewer. |
Frequently asked questions
- Is this page claiming CricAuction lacks certain features?
- No — we don't have reliable, current information about CricAuction's feature set, so we're not making claims about what it does or doesn't offer. We'd rather point you to what to check yourself.
- What should I ask any cricket auction software vendor before choosing?
- Ask about per-event pricing versus annual contracts, whether there's a public spectator display separate from the admin console, how registration and payment proof are handled, and whether results export in a usable format.
- What can I verify about Cricket Auction Pro directly?
- Pricing is published on our pricing page, and you can create a free account for up to 3 teams to test the actual console, registration flow, and display before committing to a paid tier.
- Does switching tools mid-season cause any data loss?
- Switching tools generally means re-entering your player pool and team setup in the new system, since auction platforms typically don't share data formats — factor that transition effort into your decision.
