Sociabuzz donation experience review!

By @ohareza
TL;DR use gopay or ovo.
Punten

Sorry I spammed your donate box (# ̄ω ̄)

Because the experience is different in PC & mobile, I split it into 2 parts.

Done via PC

Gopay

Instant & fast, the best option overall.
Note that the gopay option isn't actually gopay, but it's QRIS.
Theoritically, you could pay with any app that supports QRIS (ovo, dana, link, m-bca, nobu, shopeepay, paytren, etc.)
I tested it with M-BCA and it works.

OVO

Same good experience as gopay

Dana

Requires SMS OTP & pin entry to login & the SMS arrives late.
You could only pay using dana balance, not dana card. Which really sucks.
Otherwise, it's fast & convenient too.

Bank transfer

5k admin fee.
Don't even bother with this.

LinkAja

Requires SMS OTP & pin entry to login
The donation never arrived and the money was cut from my account. It's a scam.

Done by phone.

Gopay

Instant & fast. Integrates to native app.

OVO

Instant & fast. Integrates to native app.
Instead of going directly to the app, there's a notification that pops up that you can tap to pay. Slightly worse than gopay, I'd say.

Dana

No native integration. Needs SMS OTP & pin entry. Dana takes a big L here.

LinkAja

Same issues as dana, just with worse UI. Even bigger L.

Conclusion

Use gopay or ovo.

If you want to use other apps, just pick gopay & pay by QRIS.
I would't recommend it though since it's not an officialy endorsed method.

Note for sociabuzz

  • Autologout after 3 hours is dumb. Make your sessions longer.
  • I lost money when using linkaja.
