I propose that we loosen up. With [Gratipay 2.0](https://medium.com/gratipay-blog/gratipay-2-0-2453d3c53077) we now offer \"payments and payroll for open work.\" We should offer all kinds of payments, not just weekly recurring payments. One-offs are #5. Here let's look at generalizing recurring payments.\r\n\r\n<bountysource-plugin>\r\n---\r\nWant to back this issue? **[Post a bounty on it!](https://www.bountysource.com/issues/28784302-offer-other-recurring-schedules-than-weekly?utm_campaign=plugin&utm_content=tracker%2F85909&utm_medium=issues&utm_source=github)** We accept bounties via [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/?utm_campaign=plugin&utm_content=tracker%2F85909&utm_medium=issues&utm_source=github).\r\n</bountysource-plugin>"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/comments/163279814","html_url":"https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3862#issuecomment-163279814","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3862","id":163279814,"user":{"login":"fenryxo","id":853706,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/853706?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo","html_url":"https://github.com/fenryxo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fenryxo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-09T14:56:35Z","updated_at":"2015-12-09T14:56:35Z","body":"I'd prefer Gratipay payments to be monthly as the funding of the Nuvola Player project is aligned to [monthly fundraisers](https://tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/funding/). Processing of weekly payment takes more time as I have to record more individual payments in my funding tracking system. In addition, the switch to paying in arrears has made the weekly payments pretty unpredictable.\r\n\r\n> Other than that I feel that the weekly payment system is the most natural for most people.\r\n\r\nFrom my point of view, monthly payments are more natural than weekly ones. I receive my scholarship and salary monthly and I pay my rent/phone bill/insurance monthly as well."}}
