TL;DR: My Patreon and Tipeee accounts are switching to a monthly subscription model starting January 2026. Check out the short comic above.
A FAQ about the change:
Q: Why is this change happening? Was it forced? A: Both Tipeee and Patreon have found that only 1% of their creators use the "per-creation" model. It seems they’re streamlining their features to focus on more popular options. If I want to remain active on these platforms, I have no other choice.
Q: Is Patreon still making this change, and why is it happening in January 2026? A: Patreon initially planned to switch to the new model in November 2025, b…

A FAQ about the change:
Q: Why is this change happening? Was it forced? A: Both Tipeee and Patreon have found that only 1% of their creators use the "per-creation" model. It seems they’re streamlining their features to focus on more popular options. If I want to remain active on these platforms, I have no other choice.
Q: Is Patreon still making this change, and why is it happening in January 2026? A: Patreon initially planned to switch to the new model in November 2025, but due to technical issues with a payment processor (Apple), they’ve postponed the deadline several times. Tipeee recently announced a January 2026 deadline, so I’ve decided to move both platforms to the new monthly subscription model at the same time.
Q: Have you changed the Tiers? A: Yes, I’ve updated the tiers to a classic structure: $1, $3, $5, and $10 (and above). I’ve also added $50 and $150 tiers for companies that want to support my work. The same tiers are available on Tipeee, but in Euros. Since I don’t have a paywall, tiers are mainly a way to give my supporters a larger font size in the credits at the end of new Pepper&Carrot episodes.
Q: Have you changed ‘About/Description’ on Patreon and Tipeee? A: Yes, I wanted to update the page with better links, titles, etc... It was just a refresh.
Q: I see you have a lot of supporters on Patreon, Tipeee and Liberapay. Why should I join? A: These numbers are still from before the adjustment using the ‘per-content’ model. On average, I have released a Pepper&Carrot comic three times a year over the last 10 years. The page will be updated soon (see the next question below for more information).
Q: The pages on Patreon and Tipeee still shows "per-content", is it normal? A: Yes, the change will take effect on Patreon on 12 January, and on the first January for Tipeee. Until then, the page still shows ‘per-content’. This is because I have decided to give one month’s notice to allow my patrons to adjust their budgets. (Don’t worry though: I won’t release the ‘per-content’ mechanism during this period.)
Q:Tiers and Credits: How it works? A: Since I don’t have a paywall, tiers mainly offer a larger font size in credits at the end of new Pepper&Carrot episodes. Check the graph here to see how I organize the credits.
Q: Which platform is best for supporting you? A: I recommend Liberapay. This is because it doesn’t have the 5% fee that Patreon and Tipeee take. To fund Liberapay, you have to support them... on Liberapay.
