Message from Patreon

Patreon powers membership businesses for creators by giving them the tools they need to acquire, manage, and energize their paying patrons. With a subscription-style payment model, fans pay their favorite creators a monthly amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive access, extra content, or a closer look into their creative journey.

This model is a win-win; creators retain creative freedom while getting the salary they deserve, and fans get to rest easy knowing that their money goes directly towards creating more of what they love. Let your most passionate fans support your creative work via monthly membership. If you’re ready to take your work to the next level and willing to open your heart to your audience, Patreon is for you.

Patreon started out nice enough until I ran head-first into their myriad of problems and inconsistencies. But the most annoying by-far is the lack of any support from the site. Many queries and requests go unanswered, and I had to sit on my thumbs while watching them siphon my money. I finally resolved to cancel my card before it got too crazy

I cannot in good faith give this authoritarian company a good review. I follow many youtubers and all, yes all have been hit by the #patreonpurge because of their highly unfair practice of removing very popular creators simply because they don't like 'mean words'! Their err..'Trust and Safety Team' are like children with far too much power. I for one will never use them to fund my favorite content creators ever ...Show More

This is the absolute worst company I have ever had experience with. After processing my payment, they accuse me of fraud and suspend my account! They ignored every single request for help on their site. They hide their email address and phone number making it impossible to contact them any other way. Even my credit card and the payment processor could not figure out how to email these scammers! I ...Show More

A previous co-worker was a Patreon user and when they left her emails were forwarded to me. I can't unsubscribe from the Patreon emails because they do not provide an unsubscribe link in them but instead make you login to a settings page. So I'm stuck getting an onslaught of annoying emails to mark as spam. I really hate it when websites keep email subscription configuration behind an authentication.

Went to the Patreon website to support an artist I like. Never signed up, because I could not find information about which payment methods were accepted. In fact, I found more information about Patreon's preferred payment here in these reviews than at the website itself. I guess I'm old-fashioned expecting to have a clear explanation of terms of use and which payment methods are accepted up front without divulging any of ...Show More

The Patreon website is buggy, which is very bad for a website you trust with your credit card. When you make a pledge, you get no confirmation of that, nor when you change or delete a pledge. So when their system screws up, it's your word against theirs. Guess who gets to decide the outcome? I'll give you a hint—IT'S NOT YOU. In this day and age ...Show More

Patreon has potential, but unsafe and flawed. It's neat for on going projects and people can offer donations like a subscription towards supporting their favorite creator. The better the perks the creators offer, the more people will donate. There's a lot of hype of successful careers patreons, but reality a lot of creators get burnt out, or fade. Most people end up working countless hours for free. Patreon is a ...Show More

Back in the day, writers and artists were often supported by wealthy patrons. Patreon has adapted patronage to the crowdfunding model. Payments are made through PayPal and Stripe for U.S. based artists and through Payoneer for artists everywhere else.
