Hosted platforms rent you software and keep a percentage forever. This is the same category of product, bought once and installed on hosting you already pay for.
The application files sit on your server and the data sits in your MySQL database. There is no API call to us in the request path, and nothing stops working if we do.
PHP 8.4+ and MySQL 5.7+ on shared or cPanel hosting. The seven-step install wizard runs in the browser, so no SSH or command-line access is required to get live.
A one-time licence per domain. There is no monthly bill, no per-transaction fee to us, and no tier you have to upgrade into as your volume grows.
Campaigns, backers, pledges and payouts are rows in your own database. Export them, back them up, or query them directly — it is your infrastructure.
A live install with real campaigns, or the full pricing breakdown — whichever you need first.
