About Patreon

Change the way art is valued. Let your most passionate fans support your creative work via monthly membership.

Get recurring income through monthly payments from your patrons. Create what you want and what your audience loves. You don’t have to conform to popular taste or the constraints of ad-based monetization models. No ads, no trolls, no algorithms. Enjoy direct access and deeper conversations with the people who matter the most. If you’re ready to take your work to the next level and willing to open your heart to your audience, Patreon is for you.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

    "Patreon"

    Posted 2022-07-12

    Pros: The freeware organization I work with utilizes Patreon as the main processing system for donations. Patreon has multiple ways to have projects charge users for subscriptions which is nice for varying types of projects. The integration with other applications, especially Discord is great and provides a nice perk for subscribers to our project with minimal work on our part. The fee structure is also fair in my opinion.

    Cons: I have very little complaints with Patreon, the fee structures I find fair, the integration with other financial institutions is solid. There is sometimes some minor issues with the Discord integration is my only minor complaint.

    Overall: While I do not run the financial aspect of the development team, I was the one who initially setup the Patreon for the project a few years back. If you are looking to raise money for hobby interests and freeware projects, it is a great tool to utilize for such. The integration with other apps such as Discord for subscriber benefits is a great touch as well and simplifies the process for the projects staff to not have to verify users' actual proof of subscription.
