Questions people ask

When do I start paying the $49?

When your project goes live. Not when you submit for review. If we reject it, you pay nothing.

What if my project takes 6 months?

You only pay while actively fundraising (usually 30-60 days). Once your campaign ends, the $49/month stops. Building and shipping is free.

What if I raise $500,000?

Still $49/month. We don't take a percentage, period. Raise $1K or $1M, same price.

Any hidden fees?

No. Zero. The only costs are $49/month and payment processing. No listing fees, success fees, withdrawal fees, or any other BS.

Why so much cheaper?

Because we're not trying to maximize revenue per project. We'd rather have more creators keeping more of their money.
