PATREON iOS UPDATE/REMINDER
Hey guys! Just wanted to make this post in case some people were unaware of this update which has been in place for close to a year now regarding purchases made through the Patreon app, specifically on iPhone/iOS.
Pretty much, Apple charges you an extra 30% for your subscription or purchase and takes practically all of it for themselves. So if you have the option, just load up your laptop or desktop computer to make any purchases for our Patreon page or anyone else's Patreon page for that matter and that should save you some money and not feed it into Apple's pockets.
This photo gives an example breakdown of the pricing changes and where the extra money goes and this image was found directly through a Patreon article which we will link here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/27992185537037-How-iOS-in-app-purchases-work-for-fans
Not sure if this is already very known information amongst you all but we figured it could help a few people save some money!

I signed up on my laptop but watch on my phone so it’s not an apple subscription. Truthfully there’s times where I can’t even pay for this subscription so i’m grateful for the way yall are looking out for us and saving us some coins where you can. ❤️
Thanks for this heads up homies. I’m sure we’re all on the same page about wanting what we’re spending here to go to YOU. That 30% percent wouldn’t be the end of the world, but if it’s not for yall, then it feels messed up. Thanks for focusing on the community aspect of this experience ❤️
Wow I didn’t know this. Good thing I usually listen to Patreon on my laptop anyway.
Thank you guys for looking out for everyone was already aware but good info for those who aren’t
It’s the same for like YouTube premium for anyone else
WTF I DID NOT KNOW THIS? Apple has been scamming me with both patreon and youtube??? I hate them so much omg
I wish I knew this sooner😭😭 but thanks guys u guys are the best
Thanks for looking out
Thank you for the heads up, guys! Appreciate you being good stewards of your patrons’ funds!
this is why they’re called reel ones
Thank you!!!!!
I was wondering why the price seemed to be higher when i went to renew my subscription in the app vs the website. I just always do it on the website from google or safari.
Look at y’all trying to save everyone some money 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Apple being greedy as always.. 😤😭
If we’ve been a patron for over a year do we need to change anything?
According to the article linked, if you’ve been a member since before November 2024, you are not impacted 👍🏻
