Why Creators Are Leaving Patreon
True Ownership
Patreon can change terms, freeze funds, or de-platform you overnight. With Zapable and Lightning, payments go directly to your wallet. No middleman can touch your money or cut off your income.
Instant Settlement
Stop waiting for monthly payouts with arbitrary hold periods. Lightning payments settle in seconds. Your supporters pay, you receive—instantly. Cash flow problems become a thing of the past.
Global Supporter Base
Patreon requires bank accounts and credit cards, excluding billions of potential supporters. Bitcoin works everywhere—anyone with a smartphone can support your work, no banking infrastructure needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Zapable offers a compelling alternative to Patreon, especially for creators who value financial sovereignty and lower fees. While Patreon takes 5-12% of your earnings plus payment processing fees, Zapable's Free tier charges no platform fees at all. You only pay minimal Lightning Network routing costs (typically 0.1-1%), keeping significantly more of your earnings.
