How is PawPlacer so affordable given the feature set? 🤔

We love this FAQ. No catch – we keep costs low through thoughtful decisions and a mission-first mindset.

Mission-Driven Team

We're a dedicated team who are deeply passionate about animal welfare. We built PawPlacer from a personal commitment to this cause, not a profit motive.

Modern Technology

With a modern tech stack, we deliver powerful features efficiently, avoiding the pitfalls of outdated, legacy systems.

Organic Growth

Instead of spending on pricey advertising, we grow through word-of-mouth. This allows us to stay focused on improving your experience, not chasing aggressive growth.

Independent & Built to Last

PawPlacer was created with the passion and resources to support shelters long-term—without investors, profit pressures, or scaling limits. We've built a sustainable roadmap and a dedicated team to ensure PawPlacer grows with you for years to come.

Privacy First

Note: we don't have ads, and we don't have any incentive to share (or even collect) your information. Subscription payments are handled through Stripe, so we never have your billing info.

Supporting Shelters

Most importantly, your paid subscription directly supports shelters in need by subsidizing free access – exactly as we intended when creating PawPlacer.
