Support Disband

Help keep Disband running.

Disband is built and run by a small team. Every message, call and upload runs on servers we pay for each month, and right now what Disband earns doesn’t cover the bill. If Disband matters to you, a donation helps keep it online.

Why we’re asking

Running a chat platform isn’t cheap. Messages have to be stored, files and images served, calls relayed, and harmful content caught before it spreads. Those costs grow with every person who joins, whether or not they ever pay.

Aero and Lite help, and we’re grateful to everyone who subscribes. But subscriptions alone don’t cover what it costs to run Disband for everyone who uses it. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t want to lock the basics behind a paywall, so we’re asking the people who use Disband to help close the gap.

Any amount helps. A few dollars from enough people is what keeps the servers on.

Your messages, spaces, profiles, images and files, stored safely and backed up.

Good to know

Who receives my donation?: Genysis IQ LLC, the Florida company that owns and runs Disband. Every donation goes towards the cost of keeping Disband online.
Is my donation tax-deductible?: No. Genysis IQ is a company, not a registered charity, so donations aren’t tax-deductible in the United States or anywhere else.
Do I get anything for donating?: If you’re logged in and show your name, you get the Donor badge on your profile, with the total you’ve given. Anonymous donations don’t add the badge, so they stay anonymous. Beyond that, a donation doesn’t unlock features or a subscription. If you’d like those, have a look at Aero and Lite.
What shows on the wall?: The amount, the time, and your message if you leave one. If you’re logged in and choose to show your name, your display name and avatar appear too; otherwise you’re listed as Anonymous. We remove messages that break our Terms of Service.
Can I get a refund?: Donations are final. If you donated by mistake or were charged the wrong amount, email legal@disband.dev within 14 days and we’ll look into it. This doesn’t affect any rights you have under the law.
Is my payment secure?: Yes. You pay on Stripe’s checkout page, and your card details go straight to Stripe. Disband never sees or stores them.

Donations are processed by Stripe on behalf of Genysis IQ LLC, 10524 Moss Park Rd, Suite 204-653, Orlando, Florida 32832, United States. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Questions: legal@disband.dev.
