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.

Yes. I just found out Google and Apple don't take a cut of donations to non-profits. But since this is a subscription for an actual product instead of a donation, it would be subject to their 15-30%. That is most likely the reason they don't just give backup services to donors.
