Patreon Price Q&A

Why are prices going up for DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY tiers?

Occasionally, creators update tier prices to better reflect the time, effort, instant access to 3k+ base archive, and new perks offered, and to keep up with platform changes, inflation and costs. This is a common practice to help creators continue sharing content and keeping their projects sustainable. :) Such as this DAILY thingy <3

Will current patrons have to pay the new, higher prices?

!!! NO !!!

If you joined before the changes (December 1st 2025), your rate is “grandfathered.”
This means you’ll continue to pay your original price for your tier, even if the public price goes up for new signups. Only brand new patrons joining after the price update will see the new, higher rates.

Can I switch between the old tiers if I need to?

Yes, grandfathered patrons can move between the original (locked-in) tiers at the old prices as long as those tiers remain available. If you downgrade or upgrade, you’ll still see your familiar old rates—not the new, higher prices. This gives you flexibility without penalty, regardless of new tier pricing for others.

What happens if I cancel my membership and come back later?

If you cancel and then later rejoin, you’ll usually be subject to the new pricing just like all new signups. Grandfathered pricing only applies if your membership stays active or if you switch between legacy tiers without leaving entirely.

Is the content or perks changing for legacy patrons?

No changes for legacy patrons—the perks and access you enjoyed before remain the same for your locked-in rate. Any new perks added to increased tiers will be available to everyone.

Will I get notified if my price or benefits change?

Yes, Patreon automatically notifies members of any pricing or major benefit changes at least 31 days in advance, so you will always have time to review and adjust your membership if you choose. + I will post few more announcements addressing this.

Existing patrons WILL NOT be affected by the price increase—basically, nothing changes for existing patrons. Their rates and benefits stay exactly the same as when they joined, and the new pricing only applies to people who sign up after the change.
