Fees for services?

Hi there,
we found the info on OpenCollective, that there are 5% platform fee plus 5% for bookkeeping plus transaction fees of some percentage.
That´s quite expensive.
Is it different if we use OpenCollective with AllforClimate as a financial host?
Do you have an overview about this?
Are donation receipts for the tax office automatically sent to the donors?

Most hosts charge a 5% fiscal host fee. We don’t. We are all volunteers. We hope to eventually be able to finance operating costs with donations instead of charging all collectives a fixed fee.
Payment processor fees (Stripe) and platform fees (opencollective.com) only apply to credit card donations. Not donations through direct bank transfer to the fiscal host.

So there´s no fee at all for the usage of OpenCollective via AllForClimate, just transaction fees, if we use credit card donations? You take the platform costs of 5% and do the 5% bookkeeping fee for free as volunteers?
That´s still not exactly clear for me.
