Presale has more risks in it. An ICO shows how popular a coin actually is.

Presale is a cheap promotional ICO. We can call it a reward for early investors.
It's an advertising strategy as well.

I think it's more about generating FOMO; getting people rushed into buying to get the best 'rewards' but many times, the rewards are really the justified price of the token.  I've recently soured on ICO's so maybe my bias is coming out.  I'd love to see some analysis on the ratio of 'profitable' ICO's; for instance, how many of them have a higher token price one year after release.

I think presale is a private sale before ICO

The presale is a way to generate buzz ahead of time or open a sale to only whales/prearranged participants before the general public can participate.

I don't like the idea of providing presale discounts, etc. For a decentralized token sale, the sale itself shouldn't be rigged in this manner. Hence the reason we decided not to do a presale campaign for BannerCoin (BCOIN) - BannerCoin.com

I like the price differentiation nowadays. I think earlier people should be rewarded more as well!

i assume it's because pre-sale investors take a higher risk because of among other things ETH or BTC price fluctuations in the time between pre-sale and ICO, and since it's before most people are aware of the project it's harder to tell how well-received it will be. also i think it's common that you have to make a bigger contribution than the minimum required for ICO participation

this is just my thoughts tho, haven't participated in a presale yet, but will when i find the right project and discover it at right time

Hey folks,

i am wondering what are the differences between presale we see that often and an ICO. why do companies run a presale mostly with higher benefits compared to the following ICO? do investors have to stick to some kind of conditions afterwards? (hold at least for x month?) i dont assume that because ppl sometimes gather, group up to collect the minimum needed in a certain presale and participate. so what is so special about presale?
