Prepare your page. Then invite your fans.
You can prepare your Folloverse page while your Patreon remains active. Moving is manual: Patreon memberships and saved payment details do not transfer automatically. Your supporters need to join your new page.
Check payouts before you move
Creator payouts depend on your country and completed verification. Collected payments have a holding period of at least 10 days; the withdrawal minimum is $20.
Know the fees
Free to set up. The platform fee is 0% for three months from your first recorded payment, then 6%. Payment processing fees are separate.

Create your profile and complete identity verification. Check payout availability before planning your move.
Choose per-creation billing
Select your billing model before creating tiers. Set your per-post price and decide whether to charge on joining.
Bring your work
Rebuild your tiers and upload your content manually. You can start with a selection of work rather than your whole archive.
Invite your supporters
Share your new page and explain your move date. Fans join and enter their payment details on Folloverse themselves.
Coordinate the switch
Tell fans when to stop their Patreon membership. Joining Folloverse does not cancel it, so an overlap can mean charges on both platforms.

Folloverse is in open beta. Use “Ask first” for setup or billing questions before you commit to moving your community.
Read the migration guidePatreon’s billing deadline: what changed?
Patreon requires creators on legacy billing to switch to subscription billing by November 1, 2026. Its October 15 deadline to request one-to-one migration assistance has passed. Patreon says automatic migration pauses billing until the creator configures their new pricing and resumes billing.

From a paid post to your earnings.
Charge per release, with a monthly cap each fan chooses.
1. Set your per-post price
Choose per-creation billing before creating tiers. Fans choose a monthly post cap. Joining is free unless you enable an upfront joining charge.
2. Choose which posts are paid
Paid posts add charges up to each fan’s cap. Free updates add nothing to their bill. No paid posts means no new post charges.
3. Fans are billed monthly
Charges accumulate during the month and are invoiced on the 1st of the next month. Collected payments become available after the holding period and fee deductions.
An earnings example, after the introductory period
Assume 100 fans are each billed for four $5 posts, within their chosen caps.
- Total invoiced to fans
- $2,000
- 6% platform fee
- $120
- After platform fee
- $1,880
Payment processing fees still come out of the $1,880. This illustration assumes all payments succeed, with no refunds or other adjustments; it is not a payout estimate.

Questions creators ask before switching.
What is per-creation billing?
Each paid post adds to your fans' monthly bill, up to their chosen cap. Charges accumulate during the month and are billed on the 1st of the following month. No paid posts means no new post charges. It suits creators whose output does not follow a fixed monthly schedule.
Who is Folloverse for?
Creators who want to fund individual releases, including illustrations, comics, episodes, essays, and tutorials.
What happens if I do not publish?
Fans are not charged for new paid posts unless you publish one.
Can fans limit how much they spend?
Yes. Fans can set monthly caps so they never pay more than they are comfortable with.
Do I have to charge for every post?
No. Creators can choose which posts are paid and which posts are free.
Is this only for Patreon creators?
No. It is built for any creator who wants per-creation billing, but it is especially useful for creators affected by Patreon's move away from legacy per-creation billing.
When should I switch?
If per-creation billing is important to your income and audience trust, it is better to prepare before the November 1, 2026 Patreon migration deadline.
Keep billing fans only when you create.
Prepare your page at your own pace. Invite your fans when your content, tiers, and payouts are ready.
