Never pledge on indiegogo, it's for scammers only. Kickstarter (for all it's warts) requires a working prototype to post on their site. IGG requires no such proof that you aren't selling vaporware. Also IGG shows total pledge numbers from IGG PLUS Kickstarter (and potentially other crowdfunding sites you might post to) so that their numbers look bigger.
Stop, Drop, & Retro has some really good YouTube videos calling out IGG/KS campaigns (focused on the retro gaming scene) and he does a decent job breaking it all down.

- gnicholas 8y ago> Kickstarter (for all it's warts) requires a working prototype to post on their site What do you mean by "working prototype"? I ran a successful software Kickstarter last year and all we had going in was a mockup (created in Keynote) of what the app would look like. I expected that it would take hours/days after I "submitted for review" for the campaign to be approved, but it was instantaneously approved and went live.
- joshstrange 8y agoI'm sorry, it apparently only applies to when the project is going to ship a physical item. https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prototypes https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prototypes
- FullyFunctional 8y agoClaiming either is great, but I have been scammed more on KS than Indigogo. Today I super weary of both, but I have and will back projects by people who I know or whose reputation I know though other channels. (OLKB, TinyFPGA, etc).
