The live chat feature was a bonus since I was looking to get my site up and running ASAP. They had their software up and running for me within a day and went out of their way to make sure I was confortable with the startup template. After the fact, their support is most helpful as well. Every email I sent or question I have regarding the software is responded to in a very timely fashion. On top of this, ILance has an active community forum with moderators and members who are always willing to help, listen, and contribute. When it comes to the software itself, I was surprised at the ease of use in my control panel. There are hundreds of options allowing for total customization for my auction site. This software lets me be in 100% control of every aspect I can imagine as I bring what I had in mind to life. This is by far my software of choice for my auction site and I have been pleased in all aspects of the process. > > **Cons**: I have not yet found any cons, been using it about 6 months, if do I am sure I will receive support for my needs ----- ### "The quality of this script is unbelievable good and professional" — 5.0/5 > **Sivert** | *17 September 2017* > > **Pros**: I just want to say thank you to the people behind iLance.

It's a dream coming true to be able to spend time using this marketplace script. You will never regret. Never. Buy it today and start your amazing journey towards building a successful marketplace.

I purchased ilance in Feb 07, We developed telecommentor.com and currently we are Developing wedding.com project. 2. We had never seen such a flexible \& Easy to use software to customize. Wonderful software please see our feature such as Telecom Talk in TelecomMentor and in ilearntelecom (Wedding.com Beta site), AJAX implementation of "Free Get Started". 3. Eric and Peter are great 4. We just love this software just because of the simple reason it works and highly Flexible. 5. Good Forum Support 6. Easy to customize with Paypal, Authorize.net and other Credit Card > > **Cons**: It would be better if we can optimize the speed of the ilance engine. 3.1.9 is lot better with speed but still it can be even better > > Excellent software. You got an idea with reverse auction software then ilance is the way to go ----- ### "best possible product to really wow your customers" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *25 August 2016* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > I initially had to choose between 10 different companies that were providing auction software, after my first conversation with Erin I knew ILANCE was the way to go, the customer support is awesome. Now, I am by far not the most technology savy person but the ILANCE software is very user friendly from both the back and front end of the site...I have had nothing but praises about my site - If you are someone who is looking for a company to provide the best possible product to really wow your customers you have definitely come to the right place with ILANCE\! ----- ### "iLance is the only choice, Can’t beat the price, support and design" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *30 August 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a true support community. The website is easy to use and is familiar to those who have used Shopify, eBay and other eCommerce platforms > > **Cons**: There is no comment about any software cons > > We met with about 20 companies when looking for software to replace our Shopify website. We are a startup company, but wanted something out of the box that would be usable for our clients and customers. Erin was by far the most responsive of all the competitors. Not only was she responsive, she knew her limitations and relied on her developers and IT staff to support her. Then, I was introduced to the iLance community. Their support has been outstanding. Many platforms, comments and questions are generally ignored. If you are looking for a way to improve your business in your community. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/138097/ilance?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/138097/ilance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
