Our Patreon

Dear Friends,

Annotate is launching a Patreon page, and we wanted to be very transparent as to why we have decided to do so. Building the app has come with costs that have, so far, been paid by the team itself. However, as we grow, our costs grow proportionately. These fees are beyond what a team of three can tackle sustainably.

We have thus decided to offer a Patreon for those who want to support our project and help us keep it running! Every contribution to the Patreon will go directly towards keeping Annotate alive!

We've broken our Patreon into three tiers, each with perks we hope feel fair. There is one perk worth clarifying, because we want to be clear about our philosophy with Annotate.

If you subscribe to our Protagonist or Mentor tier, you receive instant, early access to Annotate in its current state. However, not locking our app behind a paywall, even during the testing phase, is important to us. As such, we will still be recruiting free testers through Google Forms while the Patreon is live: a batch of fifty testers at the start of September. This way, anyone who is unable to support us through Patreon still has a free path to Annotate early testing.

Another perk for our top two tiers is a free trial of our subscription. The Annotate subscription will not lock any features behind a paywall. Annotate will be a free app, with an optional subscription which allows for advanced profile customization!

Our Patreon will run until Annotate’s launch, which is currently scheduled for the end of September.

Whether you decide to support us on Patreon, wait for a free tester batch, or wait for the official launch, you are helping shape Annotate’s future. Your support, financial or otherwise, is greatly appreciated by the team. We thank you for being part of this journey! You can also follow along on Discord, as we will open our server to the public in 24h!

See you soon,
Team Annotate
