Ko-fi is great for tips, but it still takes 5% on commission orders and has no real commission workflow. commissions.gg takes 0%, forever, with payment protection, milestones, and a built-in queue.
Ko-fi is a great tip jar. For commission work, it leaves you doing the hard parts by hand and still takes a cut.
Ko-fi's free plan still takes 5% on commission orders. commissions.gg takes 0%, forever, for you and your client.
No built-in queue, character profiles, or milestone payments. You end up tracking commissions in a spreadsheet.
Ko-fi has no payment protection and no AI monitoring. commissions.gg gives you both, so you never work unpaid.
