Users asking how to donate or financially support Qaf

Summary

Six distinct supporters wrote in asking for an official way to donate or financially support the project — including a shareable donation link, small-donation options, and sponsorship. Qaf's current policy (stated to Khurram Agha) is to decline donations because the product should be self-sustaining from revenue, so everyone gets redirected to the $1,000 lifetime membership or told to wait for the upcoming subscriptions. Two users (Ebrahim Zidan, Mahmoud Khodier) balked at the $1,000 price and explicitly asked for a cheaper donation path in the meantime; both were promised an email when regular subscriptions launch. Abdellatif also disclosed context in these threads: AI costs run about $8,000/day and a ~$100/year subscription is coming "this week" (as of Aug 17). Until a cheaper tier or donation channel exists, this is uncaptured goodwill and revenue — and a follow-up list of people to email at subscription launch.

Asks whether there are official ways to support the work financially. Abdellatif replied: best way is buying a membership — currently a $1,000 lifetime, with a $100/year subscription coming soon — and noted the app is free today but AI costs are around $8,000/day.

Asks how to support the app and the team's work (subject: "دعم التطبيق قاف وغيره"). Abdellatif: the best way to support is buying a subscription, which should be available in the app "this week" insha'Allah.

A fan of Qaf offers a small donation or sponsorship to help it sustain and grow. Abdellatif declined donations ("We're not taking donations for Qaf given that we want it to be self sustaining with revenue") and sent the lifetime membership terms and Stripe link instead.

Salaam Abdellatif - I am a fan of Qaf and would like to help it sustain and grow.

Are you looking for a small donation/sponsorship etc. Please let me know.

Asks if it is possible to donate to the creator and supporters of the app and whether there is a shareable donation link "for me or the brothers". Abdellatif: no donations; a subscription is coming in ~2 weeks, or the $1,000 lifetime for those willing to put a big amount behind the project.

Is it possible to donate for the creator and the supporter for this App? Do you have a link or something for me or the brothers?

Ebrahim Zidan ebrahimzidan@icloud.com — 2026-08-16, English, 1a007888b52f9eb1 (replied)

Asked how to support the project; after receiving the $1,000 lifetime terms he said it is far beyond what he expected — he is young and not wealthy — and suggested a donations option. Abdellatif thanked him warmly and got his OK to email him when cheap regular subscriptions roll out.

Yes to be honest its way more than what i expected, i thought maybe if there something like making donations etc. that would be good for me , since I’m not that rich im still young

Asked for specific ways to aid the team or donate. After the $1,000 lifetime offer he declined, committed to subscribing when paid plans launch, and still asked for a way to make a smaller donation meanwhile; Abdellatif promised to email him when yearly subscriptions launch.

Unfortunately, the $1,000 one-time payment is too high for me at once. I will be happy to sign up for a paid subscription once it rolls out.

In the meantime, I would still love to donate to help build the foundation of the app. [...] Please let me know if there is a way I can make a smaller donation.
