However, Patreon has likewise expressed that it’s dealing with local transfers. Other than that, Patreon takes either a 5%, 8%, or 12% cut contingent upon what plan you pick, while Substack takes 10% – except if you’re on Patreon’s top-notch arrangement; you’ll keep a greater amount of your income around there.
