Jörg Eisfeld-Reschke provides the first comparison of Kachingle and an emerging, albeit still in private beta, service called Flattr.

Eisfeld-Reschke concludes that both are promising revenue approaches for online content publishers with a few key differences:

  • Kachingle splits money between a supporter’s sites based on actual visit activity and Flattr in equal portions.
  • Money distribution is transparent and open on Kachingle while Flattr at least for now doesn’t really show this information.
  • Kachingle has a single monthly subscription amount of $5 while Flattr has several price points (€2, €5, €10 and €20)
