What IgnitionDeck does
Crowdfunding platform for WordPress with pledge levels, all-or-nothing funding and backer management.
It sits in the crowdfunding part of a WordPress stack and is sold by IgnitionDeck on a premium basis. We recommend it in our crowdfunding guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.

Where IgnitionDeck ranks elsewhere
IgnitionDeck does not appear in the published "best of" lists we track from WPBeginner, TechRadar, Kinsta, Themeisle and similar sites. That is not a mark against it - those roundups are short and skew towards the biggest names.
