Compare Kickstarter vs. Piggybackr

Kickstarter empowers innovative ideas by transforming them into tangible realities. It serves as a platform for creators to present their unique visions for artistic endeavors, rallying the communities willing to financially support them. Creators maintain full control over their projects, free from the constraints of extensive grant applications, external donors altering their messages, or last-minute changes imposed by investors. When backers contribute funds and promote the initiatives, they also join the journey of these independent creations. Engaging your community is crucial and often starts with mobilizing your personal network. The most thriving projects often create a ripple effect, attracting initial supporters who then amplify the idea within their circles, ultimately gaining recognition from the broader Kickstarter audience. This ripple can grow significantly, with over 20 million contributors from across the globe playing a role in funding various Kickstarter endeavors. Our goal is to facilitate the realization of creative projects, as we hold the belief that art and creativity are vital components of a robust and dynamic society, thus enriching the cultural landscape for everyone.

We have assisted young people, families, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States in generating millions of dollars for the causes and events they are passionate about. While you can certainly initiate a successful fundraiser on your own, enlisting a team can enhance your efforts; team members can create their own pages to garner support while all donations are funneled into a single account, allowing each member to promote the fundraiser and gain recognition. Whether you decide to launch an impressive fundraiser solo or collaborate with a group, we understand that hidden fees are frustrating, and that’s why we maintain a flat fee of 4% across all fundraiser types, making it transparent for you. You have the option to either cover this fee yourself or allow your donors to handle it, but rest assured, our fees are among the lowest in the industry. We charge no platform fee, and we simply encourage donors to leave a 4% tip; alternatively, you can choose to absorb the 4% fee without requesting a tip at all. Our aim is to maximize your fundraising potential, enabling individuals, teams, and entire schools or organizations to participate and contribute toward achieving their financial goals. Together, we can create impactful change and support the causes that matter most to you.
