"While Patreon has degraded a bit in recent years, it's still the easiest subscription service."
What do you like best about Patreon?

-Flexible posting options (from podcasting to text to images, etc) -Low monthly fees/losses (I joined early at an early tier, though, before they started their current sillier payment solution) -Well-known (so users aren't scared of signing up) -Marketplace lets me also look for other creators who are doing interesting things -Secure and private messaging options to keep in touch with patrons -Integrates with a number of other software options--for example, whenever I get a new patron Patreon notifies my Bonjoro, which then lets me send them a video message as a thank-you

What do you dislike about Patreon?

-Apparently if you join now, you're given payment options that make you lose more money than if you joined when I did. If I were new, that would make me consider another service, perhaps like Payhip, which I can run myself. -They got rid of the Goals tier, which I thought was helpful for motivating patrons (but that's okay)

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like everyone else who uses Patreon, I need a monthly solution that allows me to collect fees from users while providing them monthly support.

"Pateron Is An Awesome Platform for Content Creators"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Patreon treats its content creators very well I feel and the creators get to ask for donations to help them with creating more content and maintaining their channels on Pateron. I feel like Pateron puts content creators in the drivers seat when it comes to controlling what they choose to produce compared to other platforms which are not as friendly to content creators of which I won't mention.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

Nothing that I can think of at the moment. The customer gets to decide how much they are willing to donate to a particular content creator which is great and I'm glad that Pateron allows flexibility in this area.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am just a consumer of Pateron and not a content creator.

"Fantastic Way To Connect With Your Customers!"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Patreon is an awesome way to connect with your customers and make them feel like they're part of a special community. We've done so many great things through Patreon - book clubs, special Zoom events, discount codes. With Patreon, it's easy to really foster a great connection!!

What do you dislike about Patreon?

I don't love the comment system on Patreon - I feel like I miss things sometimes. I'm not sure how to make that better though - it's really like posting on a blog post now, as opposed to something more social-media-like?

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

As said above, Patreon offers a way to connect with customers that's different from other platforms. People pay to access special content, and having that monthly income has helped us beyond our wildest dreams!

"Great software for creators!!"
What do you like best about Patreon?

How easy they make it to get up and running. Selling your membership online used to require building funnels, websites, sales pages, etc. With Patreon, I've been able to sell my membership with such ease!

What do you dislike about Patreon?

The fees are a higher than you'd expect to pay if you were using a merchant processing company, so that is something to consider.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem I'm solving is being able to accept payments without having to build a complicated website.

"Great community and content management with a lot of core features"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Built in merch system is really useful for creators. It's great that you can customize your fan base's level of involvement with tiers and brand elements like color and logo and welcome notes. Very simple to use.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

There could be some additional features like event creation. It's great that there is Google Analytics tracking, but there could also be more connectivity to other tools.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The major problem we are solving is paid community management. It does just that and a little more!

"Pretty good for creators!"
What do you like best about Patreon?

The company idea as a whole isnt being done a lot elsewhere! its a great way for fans to be able to support the creators they love, and it is very customizable

What do you dislike about Patreon?

I really wish the website was searchable or would recommend new artists to support, so you can be found organically. They are also changing the website TOO MUCH, especially the landing pages of the creators. patreon- PLEASE STOP DOING THIS !! it now asks for money upfront instead of letting you read the creators story first, which makes it look greedy and awful.. They just keep making changes and having issues, when it really was good before and just needed to be improved upon (like the pledges not going through and other issues that really get in the way of the entire function of the website! )

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

giving people who want to support artists a way to do so, and obviously making an income as an artist

"Support creators or get support as a creator"
What do you like best about Patreon?

As a creator you can build a connection with supporters. You can set up tiers for monthly support with incentives. It's a very social platform.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

At some points there is a lack of guidelines. Almost any project is OK and if the creator don't feel like giving the incentives (promised to supporters), then it's OK too.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Patreon for contributing to Creators. More like a donation to innovative and creative ideas. We Don't use it as a business strategy.

"I love it"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Our colleagues have energized together to bring a portion of their best imaginative plans to the table. Patreon's capacity to for all intents and purposes interface our specialists with other people who are aesthetically and cooperatively disapproved has just helped our development procedure. Furthermore, when we've had any issues, the site's care staff has dependably been inconceivably useful. Straight-forward, open, and a twisted towards tolerance, their client administration has been a noteworthy reward.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

We additionally use Patreon for benefactor financing and entries. Sadly, there have been a few issues with installment preparing, which has caused a couple of social speedbumps. At first, our group was additionally confounded about what substances could or couldn't enlist with the stage. The online assistance segment (beside client support) is as yet inadequate.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The stage is generally streamlined and bother free. Our group has utilized Patreon to gather benefactor reserves, sell our very own inventive substance, and interface with different clients for potential advertising and business-disapproved of activities.

Absolutely fundamental for makers hoping to bring home the bacon off of their fanbase support.
