What is Patreon?

Patreon is community management from Patreon, Inc., based in San Francisco, United States. Membership platform where creators run paid communities with tiers, posts, chats and events.

Community platforms give a brand, cohort or membership a permanent home — discussion, events, courses, member directories — instead of a Discord server nobody can search and a WhatsApp group that scrolls away. The buying decision usually turns on whether your community is a product you charge for or a support channel attached to one, because those need very different tools.

A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams.
