Which I think is great! However, I've been donating $5/month for years and they're still trying to charge me $1.99/month. I feel like supporters should be exempt from the fee.

Wouldn't they be paying two fees no matter which way you split the money?

Yes 2 charges would be 2 fees. But I did forget that Google and Apple are in the middle charging their 15-30%. So that might not matter.

Do Apple and Google not have policies in place that don't take a charge on donations?

I don't know...

Seems they do. But that wouldn't apply to the Backup subscription. That may be the reason they don't just automatically give it to recouring donors.
