Membership platforms Most used membership platforms among creators

Patreon is the most-used membership platform brand among creators, used by 56 of 80 documented creators as of October 2026, ahead of Circle on 4.

Every month from April 2023 to October 2026, counted as of the end of each month. The panel today is 80 creators. It was 12 in April 2023, so a brand can lose share here without losing a single creator.

All charts share one scale, 0 to 100% of the panel. A flat line at the bottom is a brand with no reading, not a missing chart. 10 further brands have appeared here and never reached two creators at once; they are counted in the panel and in every share on this page, and not charted, because one creator, once, is a citation rather than a trend.

Who moved

A move is one creator whose most recent reading changed brand between two consecutive months. Creators entering the panel for the first time are not counted — that would inflate every brand with people who simply appeared.
