Ko-fi
Ko-fi is a UK-based creator support platform that started as a simple way to accept tips framed as buying someone a coffee. Over time it has grown into a page where creators can receive one-off donations, run paid memberships, sell digital products and physical goods in a shop, and take commissions, all without a heavy setup.
Its best-known feature is the fee model: Ko-fi takes no platform fee on donations, while memberships, shop sales and commissions carry a small platform fee on the free plan. Ko-fi Gold, a monthly subscription, removes those fees and adds extras such as more customization and analytics. Payments go directly to the creator's PayPal or Stripe account, so money does not sit on the platform waiting for payouts, although payment processor fees still apply. Posts, a gallery, Discord role sync for members and embeddable buttons round out the product.
Ko-fi fits artists, writers, game modders, open-source developers and podcasters with small to medium audiences who want to keep more of what they earn. Discovery inside the platform is limited and community features are basic, so creators building a serious membership business often prefer Patreon for its audience reach or Circle for community tools. Buy Me a Coffee is the closest alternative. Creators in Turkey should note that PayPal is not available there and Stripe does not onboard Turkish entities, which limits direct payouts.
