The best Ko-fi alternative for most creators is LiveSync: a link-in-bio store with a native Contacts CRM and email broadcasts, 0% transaction fee on your own sales, from $29/mo.
Ko-fi is great for tips. When you're ready to actually sell and grow an audience, LiveSync gives you the storefront, CRM and email Ko-fi doesn't.
Ko-fi takes 5% of every sale on the tier most creators start on. LiveSync charges 0% on your own sales — you only pay the flat $29/mo. Here's the gap as you grow:
| Your sales | Ko-fi fee | LiveSync fee |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000/mo in sales | $50/mo ($600/yr) | $0 |
| $5,000/mo in sales | $250/mo ($3,000/yr) | $0 |
| $10,000/mo in sales | $500/mo ($6,000/yr) | $0 |
Payment processing (≈2.9% + 30¢) applies on both platforms and is excluded here. Figures use Ko-fi's headline 5% rate as of June 2026.
