Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. You can only contact them by email; there is no phone number. They say they'll refund you and then make an excuse why they "can't."
  • It is a nice convent platform for podcast. I have enjoyed using it for almost 2+ years to listen daily to the Gerry Callahan show.
  • The user interface is fantastic. It has the feel of a slim Facebook without the ads, the manipulation by algorithm, etc. It's a great way to support the creators you love.

Cons

  • No phone number. "Support" is a joke. They lie about refunding you.
  • When the podcast I listened to every day stoped presenting because of the host's illness I could not get my money back.
  • Honestly: nothing. Of course more features would be welcome. But it’s a startup and they are moving fast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It's easy to use. - It's pretty intuitive. - The support team is kind and is eager to help (also answers quickly). - There are not that much rules about content so artist have more freedom. - The fee is only 1%, which usually is 1$ of your paycheck (Patreon's is 5%).

Cons

  • - You cannot create "groups". SubscribeStar works by hashtags (which it's comfortable to find all the content with an specific theme but horrible for a continuation.) - Nowadays (let's hope it changes)
