Ko Fi Finops
FinOps view of Ko-fi spend. Ko-fi is a monetization platform, so cost flows in two directions. Ko-fi does not bill for API/webhook usage; instead it takes a platform fee out of the money you collect (0% on tips and donations; 5% on memberships, shop sales, and commissions on the Free plan). Ko-fi Gold is a flat monthly subscription that removes the 5% platform fee. Separately, third-party payment processors (PayPal, Stripe) charge roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on both plans. There is no metered per-request or per-webhook charge.
