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

This is the digital age, does Patron think were in the stone age?

I subscribed to a benefit for a game server (The Hideout Dayz) and was charged on the 25th of august and then AGAIN on 1st of September. I was very confused how I could go ONLY 6 days to then be charged AGAIN for the same service. By the way this was clearly advertised as being a service that costs 15 dollars PER month on patrons website. After some research, I learned about how patron actually works. I guess patron gets away with false advertisement? **By the way, If there are any lawyers ...

No response.

Ive been subscribed for months to someone without knowing with a card i dont use, and i finally get my payment to my card and everything get charged in a split second, neither the guy who got supported or patreon is responding, never knew that patroen would be the reason for me to starve this month...

Love Patreon but it seriously needs work

I love Patreon and I ditched all top social media platforms in favor of it to grow a little community without ads/algorithms/noise pollution. However, the app is horrendous. Lens posts show up blank constantly and every time I make a Lens post I get an error message notification even when it uploaded without any issues. There’s a lot to be desired- patrons cannot comment with photos nor can creators, there’s no simple button to click to view my current paid patrons and those who have ...

Extremely poor user experience

Extremely poor - extremely un-user-friendly, and crashes constantly, losing your place both within episodes and within feeds as a whole. Pathetic quality, especially considering the user base is largely paying for the service!

I have been a Patreon for 4 months now

I have been a Patreon for 4 months now. I pay $5 a month to have access to my favourite musician's videos. The first two months worked fine but then I couldnt' gain access to my account and thus couldn't watch videos. I tried to reset the password and when I logged on it told me that I wasn't a patreon of a creator yet. This is really frustrating as I am essentially paying for nothing. I contacted Patreon on several accounts and have yet to receive a reply. If I don't receive a reply from ...

My wife's CC was illegally charged a Monthly recurring charge! She's legally blind doesn't watch YouTube! Did not agree bro pay anyone through Patreon! We tried to contact Patreon but the phone number only gives you a Message that's says fill out the webform with all your account information? We don't have a account never did! Someone used my wife's card to set this up! Patreon has nothing in place to protect people from scams! We have to now cancel our Credit card at the beginning of the ...

its a shat website

its a shat website, filled with captchas and non loading content, non existing customer service, TONS of login problems and pissall support.

i have been charge in every 21~23 each months; as i just decided to cancel my support on the 19 of AUG, however, which means the payment i have done suppose to cover the content for next 3~4 days, but this website , just locked all the content i have supported immediately as long as i concealed my support, its a very very very bad customer service and poor design; i will never ever visit any artist support release from this place again and not recommend any one to buy this!! very bad choice

They don't charge every 30 days. It's EVERY ACTUAL month

I was under the impression that I would get charged every 30 days(monthly). WRONG. Patreon seems to think that charging every actual month is the correct thing to do. If you want to support something, you're going to have to wait until the 1st of every month. Also, the layout of the site is very tricky, it's almost like they don't want you to find your payments.
