Membership prices are coming down (Patreon)
Content
When I switched Tych Maps from per-creation billing to subscription billing in May, I had to rethink the membership structure pretty substantially.
A few months in, I don’t think the pricing landed quite right.
So, I’m adjusting the current membership tiers:
AdventurerCA$15 → CA$9/month or CA$81/year
MapmakerCA$25 → CA$20/month or CA$180/year
BlacksmithCA$25 → CA$20/monthor CA$180/year
InventorCA$50 → CA$39/monthor CA$351/year
Approx USD monthly pricing: $7.50 / $15.50 / $15.50 / $30
The new prices are now live.
I’m also increasing the annual membership discount to 25% - equivalent to three months free. The annual prices shown above already include the 25% annual discount (it isn’t an additional 25% off those amounts).
Nothing about the membership benefits is being reduced. This is just me adjusting the pricing now that I’ve had some time to see how the new subscription model works in practice.
One important note for existing members:
I’m not automatically changing anyone’s current membership. A lot of long-time patrons still have grandfathered tiers, old per-creation billing limits, or other legacy pricing that I don’t want to disrupt.
Existing versions of these tiers have been marked (Legacy) and left in place to preserve those existing billing arrangements. Your benefits aren't changing.
That means some existing members may end up paying more than the newly listed price. If you’d prefer to switch to one of the new tiers (or the same tier at the new price), you can do that. Just keep in mind that changing tiers may mean giving up any grandfathered pricing or billing limits attached to your current membership. I won’t be able to issue refunds or retroactive price adjustments for the current month.
Thanks for sticking with me while I continue to refine how all of this works. The move to subscription billing was a pretty big change after years of doing things one way, and I’d rather adjust it when something doesn’t feel quite right than leave it that way.
