For members who joined using the Patreon app on iOS

Starting in November 2024, Apple is making a change that will impact users who subscribe or join through their iOS app. All iOS subscriptions will require an additional 30% charge, which could increase your costs on platforms like Patreon by up to 45%.

Although this change won't take effect until November 2024, I wanted to give you a heads-up now. If you're currently using the iOS app to manage your subscriptions, I recommend switching to a web browser to subscribe. After doing so, you can continue using the app without any issues. This will help you avoid the extra charges.

For new users, I strongly suggest subscribing through a web browser from the start to save money.

It’s important to note that this change shouldn't affect members who subscribed before November. However, if you cancel and re-subscribe after November, avoid using the iOS app to avoid the additional fees.

It's almost like monopolies are bad...
