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

Illegal, police please investigate. CSAM!

There's a ton of nude/sexual photographs of children on this website. I wonder if the police are doing anything about it at all because I know for a fact that when I report it, nothing gets taken down.

Illegal

I saw a few other reviews of illegal content involving minors for sale on this website and I can validate those claims. I reported an account that sells lewd/explicit photos involving children being abused (CSAM) and followed their "guidelines" to report it but then nothing happened to the account. Its almost as if they don't care that this is happening on their website. I dont know how this website is still up after selling such disgusting content on their website, there is no way children ...

Love to support and connect with creators here

I’ve been a member of several Patreons over the past 3 years and especially like using it for podcasters. Love getting special content and some artists I support also do live hang outs and respond to all the fab comments. Fun platform for me to connect on a deeper level with artists and podcasters I enjoy.

A horrible service

They steal from you and try to avoid sensitive topics when confronted in customer support. If you are looking for a refund, simply contact your bank and police. They can file a claim against Patreon and you should be able to get your money back!

I have had no problems.

I have had no problems, but to secure my credit card was not in danger, i set up an Apple Pay. If they do something nasty, you will have Apple on your side. Seems that they have fixed their double billing. But an advice, sign up on 2. or 3. of the month, just be safe. As they bill 1. of the month.

They Steal From Customers!

Okay so I recently had an experience where they charged me twice in the same month, violating our agreement. I had my account setup to be charged once a month. I paid them for June, and cancelled my account in June. I was charged for July anyways. You can even see on my account that it says I was being charged for July, but the charges were put on my account in June (an account they only had permission to charge once a month as per our agreement). I have been on Patreon since 2019. I have ...

"This product has taken me from being a struggling artist to having a monthly revenue I can depend on"

What do you like best about Patreon? I love the fact that I can create recurring revenue for myself on Patreon. As an artist, I used to live from feast to famine. Today I can rely on an amount coming in every month.

This platform is not honest …

This platform is not honest and does not respect the customer They charged my card twice during 3 months for a signature that I had on the platform and refused to return the amount wrongly charged.
