Except yours isn't free.
Your "free" tier costs $1 + 10% per transaction, which is ridiculously expensive. Even Paypal doesn't rip me off that bad.

We actually drop the transaction fee once you're actually making money. Check it out: usefedora.com/pricing.
To your point, if there's a free tier with a transaction fee, doesn't that mean it's totally free to use? We handle all the hosting for you, so it's a little misleading to call this system free.
With Fedora, we make money when you do - which is an amazing alignment of incentives if you ask me. This really helps people who are just starting out and want to use a robust product. Right now folks using Fedora teach near 400,000 students in any language you can imagine.

Sure, but even if you find our pricing completely outrageous, that doesn't make it OK right?

Sure there are differences. It's still a blatant clone. OP could have at least created his own UI.
