Honest comparison
Both run paid memberships. The gap is in what the headline percentage actually covers, and in what happens to the rest of your business — your content library, your publishing, your links.
On a single $10.00 sale. Rates published at support.patreon.com, checked August 2026.
| Platform | Fee | You pay | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patreon (10% + processing) | 10% + 2,9% + $0,30 | $1,59 | $8,41 |
| Wudtr Free (10%) | 10% | $1,00 | $9,00 |
| Wudtr Standard (7%) | 7% | $0,70 | $9,30 |
| Wudtr Premium (5%) | 5% | $0,50 | $9,50 |
Patreon moved every new creator to a single 10% platform fee on 4 August 2025. Creators who had a page before that keep a legacy rate of 5%, 8% or 12%, but only while the page stays published. Payment processing is charged on top of all of them. Rates change — always check the provider before deciding.
For creators who joined after 4 August 2025 it is a 10% platform fee plus payment processing of 2.9% + $0.30 per pledge, or 5% + $0.10 on micropledges of $3 or less. Legacy creators may still be on 5%, 8% or 12% plus the same processing.
Yes. The 5-10% is the complete number; Stripe’s cost comes out of our share.
That is where the gap is widest. On a $3 pledge, Patreon’s 10% plus 5% + $0.10 processing takes roughly $0.55, about 18%. Our Premium plan takes $0.15.
You can export your member list and invite them. Patreon does not transfer active billing, so patrons need to subscribe again on the new tier.
