Patron is purpose-built for creators publishing sequential content like webcomics, serialized novels, podcasts, and ongoing series. While other platforms are general-purpose, we focus specifically on the unique needs of serial creators with features like rolling paywalls, advanced content organization, and release scheduling. Plus, we're open source with lifetime 1% fees, so you keep more of what you earn while getting tools designed specifically for your sequential content workflow.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Set up automatic paywall triggers that unlock older episodes after new ones publish, keeping your latest content behind the subscription while making older posts free to build your audience
- Configure flexible release schedules so subscribers get early access to new chapters or episodes while free readers catch up on previous content at your chosen delay interval
- Use built-in content organization tools to manage your series timeline and automatically move posts between free and premium tiers based on publication dates
- Create subscriber-only preview releases that go live before your public schedule, giving paying supporters exclusive early access to upcoming storylines
- Design custom paywall rules that work with your publishing rhythm, whether you release daily strips, weekly chapters, or monthly installments
