Dear legions, UPDATE; Additional part of post!No changes will be done until late May because of the upcoming patreon merchandise, this is a recommendation from Patreon because it can easily become a glitch. And besides that, to make sure you feel calm and informed, this is how it works whenever a change happens - this also applies to you that has paid annually: 1. You will get automatically notified that the price of your tier has changed. The notification includes details about when the new price will take effect. All renewals for the next 31 days will be at the old price, so existing members aren’t charged the new price right away. Your members will receive an email letting them know their tier price is changing after 31 days and that their next bill will reflect the new price.For example; If we would change your tier price on September 3 and your membership renewal is on September 5, you will still pay the old price on September 5, as it falls within the 31-day Price Lock Period. Your next renewal on October 5 will reflect the updated price. For annual memberships? For example; If we change our tier price on September 3 and your annual membership renewal date is October 1, your renewal will remain at the old price because it falls within the 31-day Price Lock Period
If your annual membership renewal date is not within 31 days of when we change the tier price, the new price will be in effect when they renew.2. Have you been around our Patreon for a long time even before the billing model changed? If you are charged every 1st of every month, please switch your subscription to Subscription Billing instead to enable price changes 🙏3. Members who join through iOS in-app purchases will remain at their original price, as Apple doesn’t allow Patreon’s pricing tool to adjust these payments. But we highly recommend you cancel the patreon in the iOS app, and join via a browser instead. Because - Apple adds a 30% fee on top of the tier cost when subscribing via the app! 😬It is a lot of info - but if you feel you don't fully understand when it will change, please write us and we will help you better! Sorry for the big chunk of information but thank you so much for your incredible feedback, it warms our hearts ❤︎Original post: Except from merging 2 tiers years ago, we have never had any price changes since our start in August 2019. We have been trying to avoid it in every way we could, but looking at how everything looks around us makes it very difficult for us to not consider a slight price change. NOTE: This doesn't mean we have changed the prices yet, we will let you know when. This is us asking you a simple question: Would you would be able to stay a Patreon in your current tier or not with these changes?Everything is getting more expensive, we all know this. And on our end it is insane what is happening with our rent, tour buses etc. Don't get scared now - no panic! We're not talking insane amounts and the highest tiers remains untouched. But we would like to present to you how the prince changes would look like - and hear your thoughts first: Would you would be able to stay a Patreon in your current tier or not with these changes? Leave a comment, please before we proceed.
