Assessor Subscription

11 November, 2026

Over the past 40 years, AuctionsPlus has grown to deliver more buyers across more locations. Today, every time you list, you give your vendors access to Australia’s largest online livestock marketplace.

Over the past 10 years, that growth has accelerated:

• An online audience eight times larger, now 272k a month

• A commercial buyer pool up 362%, now 57k

• 57% more bidders per commercial sale, now 102 on average

• Buyers in 140% more locations, now over 8,180 towns

That's something we've built together, and it's worth being proud of.

A lot of what we’ve built in recent years started as a conversation with an Assessor. You told us the problems you needed solved, and we built products and tools such as A+ Bloodlines, LiveAssess, genetic integrations and Forward+. Over the past two years alone, we have invested the majority of our resourcing into new products, and we want to keep that pace.

That brings us to a change we wanted to tell you about directly.

What is changing
From early 2027, AuctionsPlus is introducing a subscription for Assessors who list commercial livestock.

What is staying the same
There is no change to Assessor status, Delivery Agents, stud and machinery sales. 

Why is AuctionsPlus introducing a subscription?
Running a market-leading, secure trading platform costs more every year. We’ve been absorbing those rising costs and security demands as the platform has scaled. To keep growing and protecting this national marketplace, we need to make sure the platform is sustainably resourced now and into the future.

How the funds will be reinvested
Subscription revenue will be reinvested into the platform, and we'll shape what we build with you. The focus is tools that keep you central to the sales process and give you an edge with vendors who expect national access. Platforms that stop investing fall behind, and we won't let that be the future of AuctionsPlus. Our commitment to you is that AuctionsPlus will remain one of the lowest-cost auction options, accessible year-round.

Subscriptions to suit how you use the platform

• Lite: $0, assessments in three sales a year, renews annually

• Unlimited - Annual: $139 per month, billed annually

• Unlimited - Monthly: $199 per month, billed monthly

  *Prices are ex GST.

New Assessors and anyone newly accredited in 2026 will receive a free two-year Unlimited subscription to support the growth of their business.

We won't pretend this isn't a new cost. We've worked hard to keep it in proportion to the value Assessors can get from the platform.

We invite your input
If you’d like a say in how subscription funds are reinvested to benefit Assessors and the wider industry, we welcome your input on what that looks like and how we work together.

What happens next
Nothing is changing now. We are engaging with all Assessors to talk through the change and answer any of your questions. You'll find more details on the subscription and how to provide feedback on how funds are reinvested here.

Thank you for everything you bring to AuctionsPlus. We're looking forward to building what comes next with you.

Regards, 

Wyn Snyman
CEO, AuctionsPlus
