There does seem to be a lack of transparency re: pricing/fees. I got all the way through sign-up without any mention of fees, and had to click the itty-bitty “Support Center” link in the footer to find any information on pricing.
There I found the Pricing & Plans FAQ, which only mentions the 2.5% transaction fee and a monthly fee incurred after $5000 is raised. I still don’t know much that fee is.
Its hard to fit everything that everyone wants to know on a small introduction page. The monthly fee is $50 and paid by donors who support Charity Science directly. If you want a system with no fees we recommend using AMF’s system which is fee-less although a little harder to set up and a little less visually appealing.
I think this is awesome. However...
