Important Update: Subscribing on your desktop is less expensive than on your iPhone

Apple is requiring new memberships purchased in the iOS Patreon app will be subject to their 30% App Store fee. Not cool but easy to avoid by just using a desktop.

They’re slowly rolling this out for all Creators, so if you see the membership tier options are higher than $3, $5, $10, and $25 USD, respectively, Apple is raising the price on your phone. Now that’s monopoly power!

**If you’re already a member of the Patreon, this fee does not apply to you.
