How Much Should I Donate?
Unsure as to how much you should donate?
In general we simply ask people to donate what they feel comfortable with - donate an amount that leaves you feeling you are getting a fantastic deal.
But some people have asked us to help them estimate how much they should donate. So we commissioned a very expensive scientific study to determine the ideal donation amount that people should make (in fact it has cost us more than the total sum of donations we have made since we started this site).
The results of this 10-year study can finally be made public. We hope you find it useful.
Why Donate?
There are many benefits to becoming a donating member, including a permanent non-expiring license key for all of our programs, early access to beta releases and new reviews, discounts on popular shareware, and much more.
Donate now using PayPal and you'll receive your lifetime member activation code and non-expiring program license instantly via email.
Commitment To Integrity

Find and Run Robot Opinions on SnapFilesI rely on this software every day on every computer I use regularly. I almost never click on the start button to start applications now, I use Find and Run Robot. Amazing piece of software... Find and Run Robot beats the pants off of other desktop search programs, including MSN, Google, and Yahoo Desktop search. This program is very fast, and has a high degree of customization regarding what files you want to search for and where to search. It does not consume hard disk space by indexing your files like other desktop search programs. Try this program out and you'll agree that it is lightning fast and probably the most useful desktop search program out there (and best of all, it's free). My best regards go out to the developers of this program... Simple/quick to use. Don't use the start menu again, and quickly find loads of stuff lost in those pesky menus! Doesn't use the registry and no nasties. I am just a happy user.
Suggested Donation Amount Chart
Sometime in the near future, we may put in place a minimum charge for a deluxe lifetime membership that includes all past and future software on DonationCoder.com. If so, the probable cost would be: $50. Until then, a donation of any amount will grant you a lifetime deluxe membership.
We think that's a great deal, but we want you to decide for yourself how much it's worth to you and how much you can afford, and choose an amount you feel good about.
If you are still unsure how much to donate, the following chart may be helpful to you in figuring out how much you should donate. It's based on an expensive 10-year scientific study we commissioned from the brightest minds in anti-capitalist thought:
