Cons
“It's hard to integrate in a software via its API because of lack or confusing documentation. Also it takes a not-so-little percentage of revenue.”

Software developer

“Sometimes when I use the app, it will crash while looking through some of the creators' posts. This typically happens when there are pictures in the post.”

“The only con when some members have to leave due to changes in finances. Since, membership is the only way a Patreon creator can earn income, this directly affects earnings.”
