Patreon, a creator monetization platform that offers membership programs and digital goods, announced on Monday that it is changing its pricing structure.

Currently, Patreon takes an 8% cut or a 12% cut from creators, depending on their selected tier — though the 8% plan is far more popular.

The new pricing plan instead offers one universal tier, which keeps 10% of creator earnings.

Existing Patreon creators need not worry — this price increase will only affect creators who publish a new Patreon page on August 4, 2025.

“Since we last updated our prices six years ago, Patreon has expanded beyond just payments to include media hosting, community, and discovery,” the company wrote in a blog post.

Price increases are never particularly popular announcements to make, but Patreon has a point — it has added a slew of new features over the last several years. These include native video hosting, livestreaming, free memberships, digital goods sales, and gift subscriptions.

Still, if you’ve ever considered setting up a Patreon account…you may want to get on that in the next few weeks and lock in that 8% rate.

Por otro lado, ¿alguien sabe en qué epígrafe irían «los creadores de contenido», tipo #Twitch, #Patreon, etc.? En su momento, mi asesora me dijo que me diera de alta en «producción de películas cinematográficas» (que ya manda narices), pero no lo encuentro en el CNAE 2025. Y ya no tengo asesora.

"This new #payment system allows for ways to financially support artists on #theFediverse, and the levels of support resemble a hybrid of what both #Bandcamp and #Patreon offer. Not only does this feature include line items for digital media, but a new mechanism for access and distribution. Additionally, the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money #musicians make."

My friends Critter, Oscar and Talon from The Kuloran Players have produced a truly beautiful sounding audio rendition of the literal formation of the world of #Kirandur. In tradition, it was released 2 weeks early over at our #patreon, but these weeks have passed, and you can listen to the full 18 minutes now! It also happened to be during #AudioMo. What a treat! Anyway, links:
