Mobile Giving Foundation

2010-02-05 Thread Bharat Kapoor
Sorry folks - was a little sick for the last week or so.

I pinged all of the ASPs and have heard back from quite a few. The
fees/costs are all over the place.

The best that I have found till now is as follows:

Services offered (I think there is more than just donation collection via
mobile.)

Messaging broadcast, iPhone app, All services, text in Votes, Text to Phone
bill or Credit card. (I am expecting detailed docs today)

No setup, No startup
Host Plan: (Saves us all the application work)
$99/mo - 50cents per transaction, 90 day cancellation.

Discounts (This is the best I was able to negotiate), per transaction fee
stays same
3mo - 10% on monthly fee
1yr - 10 mo (pay 10 months of fee instead of 12)

Once we reach a critical mass, where paying a higher monthly fee is viable
and transaction fees start hurting us we can renegotiate (already discussed)

I am still waiting to hear from a couple of more folks - but thi sounds the
best deal - lets discuss in Feb 13th meeting.

Regards
Bharat
