Poll: Subscription Billing on Patreon? (Patreon)
Content
Do you prefer changing to subscription billing? Where new patrons are charged when they join and monthly on that same date, instead of on the 1st of each month.
For example, if you joined on Apr 30th, in the current system, you will be immediately charged again on May 1st. With subscription billing, you will be charged on May 30th instead.
Note: For Current Patrons, your billing date will not be changed.
It's irreversible so I want to be transparent with the decision, here's some benefits and drawbacks that I think of.
Benefits:
- No more double charging, you get charged once every month.
- If you want to subscribe only for month, you will get the early access at this period.
- My schedule can be more spontaneous, but still update at least once a month.
Drawbacks:
- If stars aligned, you might not get an update in a monthly cycle, even if I release once a month.
- You might need to remember your charge date, as opposed to checking every 1st of the month.
- I cannot revert the change :c
So, that's it, if you have any suggestion or question, please do let me know.
