Interesting idea and thanks for the feedback. If that works for you, awesome!
Just a few value adds that I offer:
- Seems like the cheapest plans you can do is $1/month. No bulk discounts like Credicated offers (which can make it as cheap as 60 cents/transaction).
- No options for quarterly / yearly etc.
- No way to get multiple charges a month. If for example you want to earn 7% APY rate on the OnPath Bank account, you would need 15 transactions/month on ur debit card. With Credicated, you can automate that easily for 59 Cents a swipe.
- Haven't tried Patreon personally, but is it as easy to view, pause, cancel, resume, or modify all of your various plans/cards in one simple and clear portal like Credicated is? (I've got 22 credit cards that need to be kept active! It can get hard to keep track, which is why I created what I hoped would be a more streamlined option)
- All my profits are going to charity for the first 6 months of business (and I might extend it if I feel it's working
)
