iOS App Fees - And How To Avoid Them (get 30% off membership)
Added 2025-02-24 20:09:34 +0000 UTCImportant: Apple's new policy does not affect existing members.
Hi everyone! We take a short pause on Small-story to mention a situation with all creators and the Patreon iOS App. I just got an email saying that Apple will charge an additional 30% fee for any subscriptions - "this means that all purchases of memberships and shop items through the Patreon iOS app will now include Apple’s 30% App Store fee."
However, to avoid the Apple 30% Patreon fee, you can sign up for a Patreon membership on a computer browser instead of using the iOS app. Apple's fee only applies to new memberships purchased within the iOS app, so essentially, access Patreon through the website to bypass the fee.
