IOS App Store Membership COST MORE $$$
Added 2025-05-09 01:28:43 +0000 UTCJust wanted to make sure you all knew that if you sign up for our membership to always open up your web browser and sign up through there. Patreon had a recent change and as per usual Apple wants their cut.
As you can see from Patreons own supplied image you can sometimes be charged a ton more than it would cost you if you just went on a web browser. We barely see any of that additional income as well. Straight into daddy apple.
Of course some of y'all know but we wanted to make sure that anyone who isn't aware knows you don't have to pay these ridiculous prices. You can still use the app, just avoid signing up or paying/upgrading through the app.

Additionally, this ruling also affects Google policies on the Android app store, so everyone should expect similar rollouts there at some point.

2025-05-14 16:03:19 +0000 UTCTo clarify for everyone here -- this is not a change in Patreons charge policies -- this change is a result from a lawsuit win against Apple that says apps are allowed to directly relay this iOS upcharge to the users (which was previously banned for any app in the app store), and that Apple can't demand a cut of their charges on the web as they previously have been doing. This is after multiple times Apple acted in bad faith against the courts' rulings, so they are being given no leniency moving forward
