How much does Patreon cost for patrons?
- Subscription billing: With subscription billing, patrons pay when they join a creator’s membership and renew monthly on that same date on UTC. Monthly charge upfront billing: With charge upfront, billing patrons pay upfront to join the creator’s page, granting access to the creator’s backlog of content on Patreon. After the first payment, patrons pay on the first of each month on PT for the month of access again. Monthly (non-charge upfront) billing: With monthly (non-charge upfront), there’s no payment needed to join and unlock membership access. Patrons pay on the first of each month on PT for any access they had the previous month. Per creation billing: With the per creation billing model, patrons pay their pledged amount per paid post the creator makes after they sign up. Patrons can set a monthly maximum number of posts they’ll pay for, but they’ll get access to any paid post made beyond their maximum. Patrons pay on the first of each month on PT for paid posts published the previous month.
