Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging new Patreon users an additional 30% fee in november.

"Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee."

First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. But it will affect the new ones. And we as creators can't avoid it.

Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already taking off our commission.

This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us.

 How to avoid it? Apple users, if you make your pledges through your browser you can dodge this fee.

Thank you for your support 🥲

I am not, and never will be, an Apple user, but this is so frustrating to see. It hurts creators far more than the patrons. Infuriating!

It is!! I don't use apple but I know a lot of people do, and after receiving emails about it I panicked a little because It's so unfair for both, creators and people trying to access exclusive content.
