Patreon Reviews in September 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

It's a platform that has worked from my perspective as a patron

I use Patreon to support a number of creators, on and off depending on what monthly rewards they are providing. I honestly don't know how much Patreon is involved with moderating content and other things 1 star reviewers have stated. What I do know is that creators depend on Patreon for supporting their work, and these creators are whom I put my trust in to deliver what their Patreon reward tiers state. I have never been scammed. Though there are times I forget to unpledge, I don't fight my ...

Police need to investigate this website. I used to be an employee of this company and they directed us not to take down underaged users who sell explicit content of themselves because the management wants to be "open to new ideas and changing opinions of people's sexual identities." In other words, they're openly welcoming pedophilia in this website. There's a lot of illegal content, much made involuntarily in Eastern Europe involving children being forced by creepy old dudes. And if we try ...

The App is hideously slow

The App is hideously slow, sometimes it does not even load the content, you just sit there waiting. Not to mention the terrible design.

I was a patreon on patreon and they suspended my account for suspicious activity even when I didn't do anything and when I did an appeal they said I couldn't get my account back and they were going to delete my account and there was nothing I could say to get my account back

Charged for a "monthly fee" two times in 6 days. Morgonaut.cloud which I paid to, did not provide services for the second payment.

They steal from your salary

The way a Patreon creator gets paid is very fishy and not straight forward. The fees are extremely high and there is no reason for it. They steal money from your salary, it says x amount but you receive a lower amount at the end of the month. No logic and no costumer service.

Account Suspended

Used patreon for maybe 2 months and got suspended for 'We have detected suspicious activity linked to your account' Until they verify few things with me i gave them full verification of everything they asked me. even my geographical Location and internet provider. Still resulted in Suspension. In the end got the Email saying that i got suspended and that they 'we are unable to comment on the specific details regarding our account removal process.' if want to lose money and have headache ...

I was a Patron on Patreon for a US based author and an animal rescue situated in Spain. For more than a year, the payments remained the ones I had signed for, this month, VAT was added, without any further information. 10,50€, that is 21%. I cancelled my memberships and have alternative ways to support the organisation I wish to support. Worked well, although I was told that Patreon charges quite a lot from the Organisations they represent. But this is a bit too shady. Safer to cut the ...

They steal my money

They steal my money. I ask for a refund after i saw some unrecognized charges on my card, the support ask me for order number and now month later they don’t answer me. I’ve sent about 10 messages. Stay away from this site and be safe!!

Zero protection for the customer

Signed up for a membership only to find the creator was not active in the discord nor did he offer any benefits, all his time was focussed on bringing in members from Youtube. Turns out there's no way to get a refund, only the creator can decide but since he is not responding I had to message Patreon who themselves do not respond.
