Patreon Alternatives

Patreon is described as 'In 2013, YouTube musician Jack Conte was looking for a solution to his problem: millions of people loved his videos, but only hundreds of dollars were hitting his bank account. This didn’t add up, so he drafted up an idea (hi, we’re Patreon) and brought it to his college' and is a popular Crowdfunding service in the social & communications category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Patreon for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, iPhone, Android, SaaS and iPad apps. The best Patreon alternative is Liberapay, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Patreon are Bandcamp, Ko-fi, Open Collective and Buy Me a Coffee.
