Extension summary

BackerTracker is a great tool for both backers and creators to track crowdfunding campaigns! You can view the daily funding chart directly on the Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign page.

AS A BACKER, you can see if your favorite projects are on track to meet their funding goal. You can also sign into BackerKit and see if you have surveys that require your attention in a bar above the Kickstarter project pages you visit.

AS A CREATOR, after you launch your campaign, you can see a trend projection for the remainder of your campaign to see if it is on track to meet its funding goal.

Our projection model compares a project’s funding curve and backer count against the historical performance of past projects to find all campaigns that had similar performance over the same number of days. The model finds the median performance of those similar projects to plot a projection trend through the remainder of the campaign.

As a free tool, it's good enough.

Gives me great insight on in a Kickstarter Project will fund and both if and when stretch goals will fund. I wish it listed every date a Kickstarter is live in its projections.

Unfortunately I can't use this as it wrongly assumes my Google account email is what I use for KS/Indiegogo, can't see anywhere to change this.
