## Editorial score: 6.6 / 10

## The review

CotizUp is a French online fundraising platform built around the cagnotte en ligne (online money pot), letting individuals and groups raise money for personal causes, projects, celebrations, and collective gifts. Creating a fundraiser is quick and the service is oriented to the French market.

The platform charges organisers no platform commission and instead relies on optional, voluntary donor tips (pourboires) to fund its operation; the tip is freely adjustable and can be removed before a donation is confirmed. The only unavoidable cost is the banking and card-processing charge passed through on each transaction, which CotizUp states it does not keep for itself.

Its strength is simplicity and a keep-it-all model: organisers receive what they raise without a platform cut, which suits informal and social collections. The trade-offs are a primarily French-language, France-focused service and a funding model that depends on voluntary tips rather than a fixed published fee, so platform revenue varies with donor generosity. For French group collections and personal causes the fit is natural; cross-border or multi-currency campaigns may need a different platform.

The cagnotte format is designed for quick, shareable collections among friends, families, and communities, with donors able to contribute in a few clicks and adjust or decline the optional support tip at checkout.
