Apple says Patreon creators must switch to subscription billing by November

Patreon will force creators to move away from legacy billing methods this fall to appease Apple's newly revived subscriptions mandate. The migration will impact 4 percent of Patreon creators who still use first-of-the-month and per creation billing models, with Apple imposing a deadline to switch to subscription billing by November 1st, 2026. On its support page, Patreon says it will "automatically transition" any creators who have not manually switched by this date.
