TLDR: Nothing should change for existing members, only for new ones.

----

1. Switching the subscription mode

When starting to support me, you will now be charged on the day you subscribed, instead of always on the first of the month.

For a new supporter: if you start on the 15th, the next charge will also be on the 15th of the next month.

This will be (forced) across all of Patreon after November 2024. It's already enabled for my page.

2. Higher prices for new members via iOS

Because of Apple, if you (start to or change) support through iOS Patreon App, you will have to pay 30% more.

It sucks and I personally don't understand how this is in any way legal, but apparently Apple gets to take money from you that isn't actually spent inside an App.

The Patreon Android App and the Patreon website will still have the normal prices.

As far as I know, you can bypass the "Apple Tax" by using those instead.

Again, I'm sorry. There's nothing I could do about this.

If you support anyone else via Patreon (and a lot of other apps on iOS), it's the same.

I’ve been an apple Patreon user for a minute and frankly, I’m not surprised they’re causing problems again. IMHO The website is a better experience anyway. Thanks for the update!

You're welcome. Doing my best!

To be fair, it's very not legal in the EU; they got hit with a massive fine there and have started tweaking how they steal money from devs/users in the aftermath. Mind you, their proposed "solution" is actually worse. It's bad enough that I've personally decided to not even make an iOS app for my own business...

Apple are evil. Always have been, between proprietary everything, trying to force illegal monopolies, and stealing money everywhere they can.

Thanks for the update and the hard work

It gets complicated, because I'm in the EU but it still happens.
