I'm trying to decide between Kickstarter and GoFundMe for my crowdfunding project. I want to know which platform is generally considered better by users, based on factors like ease of use, success rate, and overall user satisfaction.

Kickstarter, on the other hand, charges a 5% fee on the total funds raised for a project. This fee is taken from the final amount collected, regardless of the number of individual pledges made.

When comparing crowdfunding platforms, one of the key factors to consider is the fees charged by each platform. GoFundMe and Kickstarter are two popular options, and each has its own fee structure.

GoFundMe charges a flat fee of 5% on each donation received, in addition to a 3% processing fee for each donation made in the USA and Canada. This means that the total fees charged by GoFundMe can be relatively high, especially for larger donations.

In addition to the 5% fee, Kickstarter also charges a payment processing fee of 3-5% on each pledge. The exact percentage charged depends on the location of the donor and the payment method used.

The payment processing fee charged by Kickstarter can add up quickly, especially for projects with many small pledges. However, for projects with a large number of large pledges, the 5% fee on the total funds raised may be more manageable.
