Thrinacia team has received many questions and inquiries about all of the tools and solutions that are available, and how to best use them. We created the ultimate infrastructure of tools for Crowdfunders from Crowdfunding campaign creators to portal administrators. In this article, we are going to lay out the entire realm of possibilities that can help you with any or all of your Crowdfunding needs.
Campaigns
Thrinacia provides multiple options for campaign uses. Our first and most inexpensive option for those who would like to run a Crowdfunding campaign on a very tight budget would want to use Thrinacia Reach. It is a great solution for those who are looking to raise smaller amounts of money to and want the ability to easily share the campaign. Although you have many options and can handle any amount of funding, this is just the basic functionality for your Crowdfunding needs. It is a perfect solution for those that need to create a donations or rewards-based Crowdfunding campaign with limited functionality.
In addition, users have the option of adding the Crowdfunding campaign to their own existing website. Using the Sedra widget, users can easily copy and paste the HTML widget code on to a website to host the campaign. This all comes free with the Reach platform, not to mention that Thrinacia takes 0% of the donations to the campaign. If you want more control over the campaign functionality, or want to make any changes to the campaign UI, then using the Atlas SaaS plan is the way to go. Thrinacia still does not take a percentage of the donations, and purchasing a subscription plan starts as little as $39.99 per month.
This option allows you to customize the campaign completely, with the availability of using Thrinacia Support if you encounter any issues with adding the campaign to your site or making changes to the functionality.
