One-time support
Buy the map a slice
Pay what you want$3 suggested
A flexible one-time way to help cover receipt OCR, hosting, and moderation.
- Keeps the map free for everyone
- Helps process more receipt checks
- No subscription or automatic renewal
Community-funded, not restaurant-funded
Help keep real food prices independent.
Planets stays free because people who value receipt-verified prices help pay for the map. Restaurants cannot buy placement, ads, or ranking boosts.

Where support goes
The first job is keeping Planets useful: real-price lookups, receipt OCR, fraud review, hosting, and city data. After those costs are covered, a visible share of surplus support can be allocated to public-interest food access or local community nonprofits.
This is a support payment to Stardusting, Inc., not a charitable donation. Public allocation reporting is a transparency commitment, not a tax receipt.

Receipt Trust Hub
Support funds a safer receipt data layer.
Receipt-based reviews need a stronger boundary than normal reviews. Planets should keep raw receipts private, publish only verified price facts, and maintain an auditable trail from Stripe support to infrastructure and moderation costs.
Raw receipt vault
Original receipt images stay private and are used for verification, fraud review, and audit recovery only.
Masked OCR fields
Payment card details and cardholder names should be masked or discarded before review data is published.
Public review layer
The public map shows restaurant, item, date range, final price, and verification status, not sensitive receipt images.
Support ledger
Stripe events should reconcile into a separate ledger so funding reports do not mix with private receipt data.
What we will publish
