Patreon

Patreon is a platform which allows authors, artists and content creators to earn money by selling paid memberships to their supporters. Those who buy memberships get access to exclusives, community interactions, and other perks. The service is used by musicians, video makers, podcasters, education specialists, nonprofits and others. Creators can get started with Patreon by choosing one of the three plans - lite, pro or premium - which offer access to different numbers of features based on the proportion of donations that Patreon receives (ranging from 5 to 12 percent). There are over 200k creators and 6 million active donators on the platform. The company's headquarters is located in San Francisco, CA.
