Well, the page you linked to actually &quot;looks better&quot; than a typical page you get on bountysource.com, but even it shows that only handful projects receive good funding, other mostly &quot;motivational pack&quot;, and clicking around, there will be lots of zeros. So, I guess it lies more on well-known and wide-scope projects to promote such services and make them popular, whereas Kickstarter is an already popular platform with active community around.<p>In our case, Kickstarter was just the right choice overall - we&#x27;re aware that there&#x27;re well known competitors, and we want to see if there&#x27;s enough community interest to back development and support for a reasonable time (half-year, better a year). Starting a KS campaign requires a lot of preparation, but I guess it&#x27;s good again, because it allows to sanity-test earlier exciting ideas, to see if you really can pledge to implement them.
