Alternatives to Patreon
Subscriptions plus music and digital goods. One platform, lower fees.
Why TuneFreq
If you're looking for an alternative to Patreon—especially if you want subscription tiers plus music sales and digital goods on one platform—TuneFreq was built for that. One dashboard, one audience, one payout. Lower platform fee (5% vs Patreon's 5–12%). Fans subscribe on the web, so there's no 30% Apple app-store cut.
What you get
- Subscriptions and sales in one place. Offer Patreon-like tiers plus sell music and digital goods (presets, samples, ebooks) from the same storefront.
- Lower fee, no app-store tax. We take 5% (0% on your first $5k). Payment processing separate. Patreon charges 5–12% depending on plan; iOS in-app purchases lose 30% to Apple unless patrons pay on web.
- Artist Forum. Peer support and discussion built in—no separate Discord needed.
