“Moved off it once the fees passed the alternatives”

Used monthly for 2+ years

At $6,000 a month the 8% fee was $480. Circle Professional is $99 with zero fees. Migration cost us about 15% of members, and we were still ahead within two months.

Pros

Excellent starting point when revenue is small.

Cons

Percentage fees mean the cost grows exactly as your business does.

“Members wanted to talk to each other and could not”

Used weekly for 1–2 years

It is a broadcast channel with comments. My audience wanted discussion, sub-groups and a place to help each other. Patreon has none of that, so we run Patreon for payments and a separate community elsewhere.

Pros

Payments and tiers are flawless.

Cons

Not a community platform in any meaningful sense.
