Patreon in short.
Patreon is free to start and keeps 10% of membership and one-time purchase income for creators who launched after 4 August 2025, plus payment processing (2.9% + 30¢ for a US card). Members join and read through Patreon and its app, not an app under your name. It has no recipe tools, so recipes go up as posts, without serving scaling, shopping lists or meal plans.
