Notice for iPhone/iOS users
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 13:56:34 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
In the last two months Patreon started implementing Apple's mandated iOS store fee to my Patreon subscriptions/payments.
What this means, is that subscribing to me or anyone else on Patreon with the app downloaded from the iOS store, your subscription price will be up to 50% more expensive (5$ tier increasing to 7.5$) for you compared to going through your web browser to handle the payment.
The reason for that is, that any payment going through apps downloaded from the iOS store are required to use their system, which adds a 30% fee to all payments. There is also delays to my earnings with that system on top of them being more expensive, where all of the money gets put on hold for 75 days until it is accessible for me.
TL;DR: iOS users subscription prices through the app are up to 50% more expensive, and this fee can be completely avoided by subscribing to me by using patreon in the web browser be that Safari or something else. Then when you have used the web browser to handle the payment, you can still browse all of my posts through the app without having to pay more money for the same content :)
Just wanted to let you all know that this change exists now. You are free to subscribe to me through the app if it is more convenient, but going through the web browser saves you money and gets your support to me faster! Thank y'all for reading.

Will definitely do

Just to add a small note to iPhone users, since you won’t pay through the app, the app won’t send push notifications to you at all. At least on my end that’s the case

I think more and more it seems like people should ditch apple.
