Just because I was curious which platform takes the smallest cut:
-
Patreon takes 8%, plus payment processing (I assume another 3-5%). Let's call it 11%.
-
Buy Me a Coffee seems to take 5%, and Stripe takes 2.9%. Basically 8%.
-
Liberapay apparently takes 0% themselves, but 3-5% goes to payment processing through Stripe or Paypal. The site is funded by people who directly support the Liberapay account itself lmao. So 3% puts them in the clear lead.
I know Patreon is basically a household name at this point, but if you're open to a bit of change I'd encourage folks to use Liberapay!
That's a good point! I've edited my previous comment for accuracy!
