Goteo vs Ketto

Goteo is a crowdfunding platform for projects with social, cultural, educational, or environmental impact. Individuals and organizations can seek funding or practical collaboration for work made, produced, or distributed under free and open terms. Projects must use free or open licenses and contribute to shared knowledge or the commons. A standard campaign has two 40-day rounds, with an all-or-nothing minimum goal in the first. Campaigns describe collective returns alongside individual rewards. Contributors may offer skills, materials, infrastructure, or help with tasks instead of money. Goteo and a community of experts review registered projects and may advise on promotion, licensing, and collective returns. Backers can pay by card, PayPal when enabled by the promoter, or Goteo Virtual Purse. Its API is currently read-only, supports GET, OPTIONS, and HEAD, and offers Basic and OAuth authentication with documented rate limits. The free campaign plan is free when the minimum goal is not reached; successful projects retain 10% of funds raised.

Ketto is an online intermediary for crowdfunding medical, social, and charitable causes, connecting campaigners with contributors. It lists fundraising options for individuals, NGOs, corporates, and education causes, and supports recurring donations. Campaign features depend on the plan: Bronze includes automated story creation, while Silver and Gold provide personalised stories. Gold also lists campaign visibility from Ketto. Plus & Amplify adds promotions and advertising, social media marketing, a crowdfunding coach, and a whitelabel microsite. Videographers can help campaigners with fundraiser videos from ideation and scripting through production and post-production. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Ketto lists a 3% fee for local and foreign payment gateways, with 18% GST charged on the success fee and gateway fee. Campaigners must submit required documents and complete identity verification before withdrawing funds. After a withdrawal request, INR payouts can take 1–2 working days and USD payouts 5–7 working days. Ketto is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
