6 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Crowdfunding with the pledge manager attached
BackerKit keeps a pledge manager built in for after the campaign ends, the part Kickstarter has nothing for, and running the campaign itself costs nothing.
Crowdfunding built to leave creators the money
Crowdfundr is built specifically to leave more of what is raised with the creator, and launching a campaign costs nothing.
Raise money from a page anyone can share
GoFundMe is the name most backers already recognize, and a page goes up free for anyone to share, the same no-cost start Kickstarter offers.
Crowdfunding that charges the donor, not you
FundRazr passes its processing fee to the backer at checkout instead of taking it from what you raise, and stays free to run.
Crowdfunding for research projects
Experiment exists only for research projects, so a scientist reaches an audience that already funds studies instead of gadgets, and running a campaign costs nothing here too.
Crowdfunding that takes no cut of the total
Chuffed takes no cut of the total raised, the number that matters most once a campaign clears its goal, and it costs nothing to launch.
