The familiar names work in Australia — but their fees, and their reach, differ more than they advertise.
Australians raising money usually reach for GoFundMe or a local option. GoFundMe charges no platform fee but passes through roughly 2.9% + $0.30 of processing per donation; others add a platform fee on top. On the many-small-gifts campaigns that are common here, those per-gift fees add up.
Ralli charges a flat 2% plus a small low-cost rail cost, pays creators direct to their own bank account, and works in around 185 countries — handy when supporters are spread between Australia and overseas.
