Membership tiers with the fees printed

SubscribeStar states its fee on the pricing page up front, worth checking against Patreon's 10 percent platform cut, with the same free signup and membership tiers.

Paid Discord memberships with a sales funnel

DoorFee charges for access to a Discord server specifically, with a sales funnel built around that one platform rather than Patreon's posts and tiers.

Charge for access to a Discord or Slack group

LaunchPass locks a Discord or Slack server behind a paywall specifically, with a free tier to test and paid from $29, for a creator whose community lives in chat rather than in posts and tiers.

Paid memberships bolted onto a site you own

Memberful bolts membership tiers onto a site you already own rather than a page on Patreon's own platform, for a creator who wants the relationship on their own domain.

One page for tips, memberships and sales

Buy Me a Coffee puts one-off tips on the same page as memberships and product sales, wider than Patreon's recurring-only design for a fan who just wants to give once.

Tips, memberships and a shop with no platform cut

Ko-fi takes no cut of what a supporter gives, against Patreon's 10 percent platform fee, though it carries less of the discovery habit Patreon's name already has.

Paid subscriptions with a reader network attached

Substack pairs a paid subscription with a network of readers who discover new writers, a source of new supporters that Patreon's platform does not provide.

A shop, memberships and merch on one page

Fourthwall pairs memberships with a merch shop on the same page, built for a creator selling physical products alongside the recurring support Patreon offers.
