This app is free. There's no ad tracking, no fees on your peer sends, and your data lives on your device. If it saved you a moment of "how do I even pay this person?" — a few bucks keeps the lights on. And 5% of every tip to Appreciate goes back out — to a charity, a cause, or someone helping their community.
A charity, a cause, or a person helping their community or city — nominated by players using points earned in the daily gratitude puzzle. We give quarterly and post every receipt in the giving log below.
This applies to support tips for Appreciate only — never to your person-to-person sends, which go 100% to the person you're thanking. Final recipients are chosen by Appreciate from the nominations; this is our own giving pledge, not a fundraiser on behalf of any organization.
Of $5.00, $0.25 goes to a nominated charity, cause, or community helper ♥
Deep-link tips open your own payment app — we can't verify receipt, so those aren't recorded in the giving log automatically. When card checkout arrives via Stripe, each support tip is logged and its 5% giving share tracked per transaction.
Points come only from the daily gratitude puzzle. They aren't money, can't be bought or cashed out, and never change what a person receives from you.
Totals include deep-link tip intents plus any card-based support once Stripe is live. The counter for the current month resets on the 1st (UTC); past months stay logged here.
