Pro No fees taken from raised money

Cons
Con Relatively obscure
As of August 2014, RocketHub does not rank among the top 10 crowdfunding sites by traffic, and no high-profile games have been funded there.
Con Membership is expensive
No fees are applied to pledges because startups are required to pay $299/mo if they want to earn up to $500,000, or $999/mo to have unlimited access to investment. For small projects, this is expensive. However, other crowdfunding platforms charge around 5%, meaning that the fee applied $500,000 would be about $25,000 instead of $299.
