If it is useful to you, you can help.
Discount Searcher is free, has no ads and sells no data, and it will stay that way. Keeping it running does cost money, though: if it saves you a few euros on games, you can give back whatever you like.
It opens on PayPal, which handles the payment. No minimum amount, no subscription.
What donations pay for
- The server that handles accounts, history and tickets: €7 a month, paid out of our own pocket today.
- The discountsearcher.it domain, renewed every year.
- A certificate to sign the application: it would remove the warning Windows shows at the first start, and it is the expense we care about most.
We are a handful of people and the project has no income. When donations are not enough, we cover the cost ourselves: no feature is taken away because of it.
What donating does not change
- The application stays free and complete for everyone: there are no paid features.
- Donors get no fast lane in support: tickets are read in order.
- No ads, no tracking, no data sold. Neither before nor after.
A donation is a gift, not a purchase: it gives no right to a product, to dedicated support or to a refund.
What we get to see
The payment happens on PayPal: this site does not handle it and never receives your card details. From our PayPal account we see the name and email address attached to the donation, which we only use for bookkeeping and, possibly, to say thank you. The rest is explained in the privacy notice.
Helping without spending anything
If you cannot or would rather not donate, these are the things that matter most to a small project:
- tell people who buy video games about it;
- report a problem when something does not work;
- join the team, if you can do one of the things we need.
