Heads up (Patreon App fees)

Added 2025-03-11 23:48:03 +0000 UTC

I don't personally have the patreon app because I don't think it works well and this doesn't effect anyone currently here but I would generally suggest..... not using the app LOL or if you do... don't purchase any of your subscriptions through the app - purchase them through a browser so that you don't get charged any app fees. Because the ability to "choose" they refer to is either the creator gets that 30% taken away from them or you pay 30% more and neither of those are great if it's just going to apple. So.... Browser!

Copy paste of email that I got today.

Also copy and pasting the text in case the image doesn't show up for people:

We’re writing to let you know that your Patreon has been updated to use Apple’s in-app purchase system. This means that all purchases of memberships and shop items through the Patreon iOS app will now include Apple’s 30% App Store fee. As a reminder, Apple’s fees do not affect your existing members. You also have the ability to choose how Apple’s fees impact your prices and earnings through the iOS app. You may adjust your selection any time in your settings.
