Pro Allows both all-or-nothing and flexible-funding plans
While all or nothing is an option, flexible funding gives people the option to receive money even if the goal isn't met.
Cons
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.
Con Poor gaming community can dull pledgers' enthusiasm
Without the game-funding reputation of Kickstarter or the novelty of smaller sites, IndieGoGo campaigns can receive dubious reactions from the public.
