Ko-fi is an all-in-one creator support platform that combines one-off donations with memberships, commissions, and lightweight storefront features. It is not OSS-specific, but maintainers can use it as a low-friction way to collect small recurring support, sell digital extras, or take paid requests directly from their audience.
