Apple IOS Patreon Subscription Price Increase
Added 2024-08-16 13:47:46 +0000 UTCHi all.
Today I received an email from Patreon notifying me that: 'Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.'
This means that any new subscribers who subscribe via an Apple device will be charged a 30% increase on top of the price of the selected tier.
Because of this, I am politely suggesting that to prevent taking more out of your pocket, please subscribe via an android device, or from a PC/laptop, if at all possible.
Again, this only affects those who are subscribing from an Apple device.
I personally have no control over this whatsoever, and many other creators besides myself will have received this email today too.
Thank you for reading.
