  • No retroactive paywalls—ever.
  • All existing features remain free.
  • We’ll keep shipping free updates alongside perks.

How pay-what-you-want works

Pick an amount starting at $1/mo on Ko-fi. Cancel whenever. Perks are active while you’re supporting; the rest of Scratch stays open to everyone.

Why we’re asking now

We lost our job recently. We can cover hosting through this month while job hunting, but we need help to keep the lights on long term.

“Nothing that’s currently a feature will ever go behind a paywall. We’ll keep adding new free features. The supporter tier is pay-what-you-want (min $1/mo) on Ko-fi. If you can’t support, that’s okay—your images stay online.”
