CrowdCreate vs Tiltify
Tiltify and CrowdCreate raise money in different worlds. Tiltify is built for livestream and gaming charity fundraising — campaigns wired into Twitch and YouTube, with donation alerts, incentives, and polls — and charges a 5% platform fee. CrowdCreate is a donation widget for your own website at a flat $20 a month with 0% taken from your funds.
| At a glance | CrowdCreate | Tiltify |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $20 flat | $0 |
| Cut of each donation | 0% — none | 5% |
| Cost grows as you raise more | No — always $20 | Yes — it's a percentage |
Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ per payment) applies on most platforms, including CrowdCreate. This compares cost structure only — see below for where Tiltify fits and where CrowdCreate fits.
Where Tiltify is the better choice
If you raise money by streaming, Tiltify is hard to beat. The on-stream donation alerts, milestone incentives, polls, and team campaigns are built for that format, and the integrations with Twitch and YouTube put the ask right where your audience already is. A widget on your own site can't replicate a live charity stream, and we won't pretend it can — if streaming is your channel, Tiltify is the tool.
Where CrowdCreate wins
Off-stream, Tiltify's 5% scales with everything you raise while CrowdCreate stays a flat $20. If your fundraising lives on your own website — a campaign page, a project, an ongoing cause — the donation happens on your own domain, the money lands in your own Stripe account, and nothing is taken from your funds. At steady volume the flat fee is a fraction of a 5% cut, and there's no campaign page on someone else's platform to send people to. If your home is your site rather than a stream, that's the trade we're built for.
The math
Drag your monthly volume below. Tiltify's 5% platform fee scales with everything you raise, while CrowdCreate stays a flat $20. Stripe-style processing of about 2.9% + 30¢ per pledge applies on both — we're comparing platform cut only, and theirs grows with you where our $20 doesn't.
At $2,000/mo, you keep $80 more with CrowdCreate than with Tiltify (5%).
Stripe's standard fee (2.9% + 30¢ per pledge) applies on every platform here, including CrowdCreate. We add nothing on top.

Common questions
Is $20/mo worth it vs a free or percentage option?
At low volume, a free tier or a percentage cut can genuinely cost you less — we won't pretend otherwise. The flat $20 wins as donations scale, and it keeps everything on your own site instead of a third-party profile page.
Whose Stripe gets the money?
Yours. Donations land in your own Stripe account directly — CrowdCreate never holds or routes the funds.
