Great support service for tech issues

I was having repeated issues trying to link my Kofi to my Youtube account, and the error page mentioned emailing support so I did. Sometimes I'll just give up on stuff because I'm busy, but I'm glad I reached out because within a few days of back and forth diagnosing the exact circumstance, the issue was resolved and I was able to link my account. Support was very kind and quick to respond!

A simple search on Google show my prices in US $'s. They are NOT. Says there is a 14 day return policy. There is NOT. If Ko-Fi is going to make it up as it goes along, why bother with a SETTINGS button at all. Very disappointed in the inaccuracies and lack of engagement. People don't want to give their e-mail address just to LOOK.

Hi there,

We’re really sorry for the confusion and appreciate you taking the time to share this. We never want anything about your Ko-fi experience to feel unclear or frustrating.

Your page will always display the currency you’ve chosen in your Settings. Ko-fi also doesn’t set a 14-day return policy — refund policies are determined by each individual creator.

And just to reassure you, anyone can view public Ko-fi pages without entering an email. An email is only needed if someone decides to make a purchase or sign up.

If you need any further help, please don't hesitate to raise a ticket or contact us at help@ko-fi.com.

Ko-fi Support

I am really impressed with the outstanding customer service you receive from Ko-fi. It is an amazing free creator monetization platform, which is so very useful for content creators like us. I cannot recommend Ko-fi more highly and no I am not an associate or linked to Ko-fi. Special thanks must go to Harry.

My Experience with Harry in helping with my account

The experience with Harry in helping resolve my issue with the email transfer was great! He was quick to respond, and was really helpful with outlining what was needed to be able to resolve the issue in a really timely manner. I'm happy to recommend and would definitely work with him again in the future for any other issues!

All my accounts had gotten hacked and Ko-fi support was one of the only ones that actually got back to me and helped me with the situation. I am so grateful for it because twitch has given me nothing but AI responses for the past week.

Great support, quick bug fixes

I had a problem with a bug that made it impossible for me to download any file i purchased. The response from ko-fi's support was very quick and professional, the bug sas fixed less than 24hours later. The person who took care of the case was very competent, helpful and most importantly kind. One of the best experiences I had with any help service :)

Ko-fi Support did Awesome!

Ko-fi Support team was extremely punctual, efficient, and reliable with helping me recover my and secure my ko-fi account after I had lost access to my main email. Having seen how swiftly and human Ko-fi handled the issue should serve as an example that other platforms, corporations, and companies should live up to when it comes to helping the users in need.

This website is absolute trash

This website is absolute trash. Some sellers are just stealing art and selling it, showing zero respect for the original creators' hard work. They're just money-hungry and disgusting. The platform doesn't even care—they just let them keep profiting from it.
Someone stole my art and my report got rejected? This site is just as trash as that thief. I keep reporting it and they keep ignoring me. Hilarious. Trash people belong on a trash site.
