Patreon is the original membership platform letting creators earn recurring income from fans through subscription tiers. Sacra estimates Patreon generated $179M in net revenue in 2025, up roughly 28% year-over-year from $140M in 2024, with the company taking 5-12% of approximately $1.5 billion in gross creator earnings. Most recently valued near $4 billion, Patreon has been investing heavily in video, direct fan engagement, and mobile-app monetization to differentiate from Substack and YouTube Memberships.
