Apple's 30% Fee on Patreon iOS Subscriptions Sparks Creator Concerns

Patreon must switch to Apple's in-app purchase system by November, impacting new memberships and billing models.

Apple will apply a 30% fee to new Patreon memberships and purchases made through the iOS app.
Patreon creators can choose to raise prices in the iOS app or absorb the fee themselves.
Existing memberships and non-iOS transactions remain unaffected by the new fee structure.
Patreon will transition all creators to subscription billing by November 2025.
Failure to comply with Apple's requirements could result in the Patreon app being removed from the App Store.
