Liberapay

Liberapay is a recurrent donations platform designed to support creators and projects. Key features include the ability to set up donations with flexible periods and renewal methods, funding donations in advance, and notifying donors when donations need to be renewed. For creators, Liberapay allows them to explain their work, configure payment processing, and reach out to their audience for support. The platform is run transparently, with a public budget and reliance on user support. Technical implementation details include support for 133 currencies, 29 languages, and integration with platforms like GitHub and Twitter. Use cases include funding free software development, supporting free art and knowledge, and enabling creators to focus on their work. Unique differentiators include the ability to pledge to people who haven't joined the site yet and the option for businesses and nonprofits to make donations.
