    Patreon will no longer force creators to change their billing method.

    Last year, Patreon asked creators to switch to subscription billing after Apple said Patreon had to use the company’s in-app payment method or “risk being kicked out of the App Store.” Thanks to the latest Epic Games v. Apple ruling, Patreon has lifted its November 2025 deadline for all creators to make the switch to subscription billing.

    Additionally, Patreon creators will once again be able to let supporters purchase memberships at the price they’ve set on iOS.
