Where Your Money Goes

What your support funds

Every contribution goes directly into the four pillars that make NekoTab reliable, powerful, and free for the global debate community.

Server Infrastructure

Production hosting, database costs, CDN, and storage — the backbone that keeps NekoTab fast and always online for tournaments around the world.

AI Motion Analysis

Our AI-powered motion analysis helps debaters prep smarter. API costs aren't free — your support keeps this feature available to everyone at no charge.

New Features

From real-time draws to digital ballots and standings — features your community requests take real time to build. Supporters make the roadmap move faster.

Security & Reliability

SSL certificates, DDoS protection, uptime monitoring, and regular security audits — essential costs that keep tournament data safe.

Our Impact

The debate community chooses NekoTab

These numbers represent real tournaments, real debates, and real communities trusting NekoTab — for free. Your support keeps this growing.
