When it comes to crowdfunding, there are a lot of platforms to choose from. Kickstarter and Indiegogo are two of the most popular options, but which one is better – Kickstarter or Indiegogo? In this blog post, we will compare the two platforms and help you decide which one is right for you.
Both Kickstarter and Indiegogo have their pros and cons, so let’s take a look at each platform in more detail:
Kickstarter
– kickstarter fees are higher than indiegogo fees
– kickstarter requires all projects to be approved by staff before they can be launched
– kickstarter has a larger audience than indiegogo (this means kickstarter has more traffic and more people looking for projects to fund)
– kickstarter allows you to set a delivery date for your product, but this can be difficult because there’s no guarantee that it will arrive on time or at all. This could lead customers to feeling cheated out of their money if they don’t get what they paid for.
– kickstarter is only available to Creators in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Mexico
– kickstarter doesn’t allow charities or non profits – only businesses with products/services
