Every dollar, out in the open.
Candlark is the trusted home for group money pools — birthday circles, fundraisers, nonprofit drives, and community projects. Everyone sees who paid, what's collected, and where the money stands.
One app, every kind of pool
How it works
Start your pool.
Pick a pool type, set the monthly tier, get an invite code.
Invite members.
They join with the code. Birthday circles claim one month each — first come, first served.
Pay the organizer directly.
Cash, Cash App, Venmo — whatever the group already uses. Nothing moves through the app.
Watch the dashboard.
Totals, who's paid, who's behind, and a full history of every action. No black box.
The transparency promise
Every member of a pool can see the total collected, the expected total, who marked paid, who the organizer confirmed, and a timestamped log of every action. If money is moving in your group, you should see it move.
Pricing
Free to create a pool. Just the monthly fee per member below.
| Per member / month | 12-member payout | Platform fee |
|---|---|---|
| $50 | $600 | $0.50 |
| $100 | $1,200 | $1.00 |
| $175 | $2,100 | $2.50 |
| $250 | $3,000 | $5.00 |
The pooled money itself is never touched — the platform fee is separate, on top of contributions. Platform billing is not turned on during the pilot.
