Everything you need
Patreon makes you beg for subscriptions.
We let your fans just say thanks.
Subscriptions turn fans into customers. Tips keep them as fans. Here’s how the whole product is designed around that one idea.
The page
A page that actually feels like you.
Eight handcrafted themes, custom photo, bio, links, and a verified badge if you qualify. Every theme is tuned for the link-in-bio context — fast on mobile, beautiful on desktop, never a generic template.
- ✓8 designer themes
- ✓Custom photo & bio
- ✓Verified creator badge
- ✓Light & dark variants
The flow
Tipping that feels like a thank-you note.
Fans pick an amount, add a message, and pay with Apple Pay in seconds. No account creation, no email gates, no awkward subscriber-funnel UX. The friction your fans don't want is the friction we removed.
- ✓No fan account required
- ✓Apple & Google Pay
- ✓Custom messages
- ✓Receipts emailed automatically
The dashboard
Know exactly what you earned, when.
A clean dashboard shows tips coming in live, what's pending, what's paid out, and which fans tip most. Export a CSV for taxes. Set up auto-payouts daily, weekly, or monthly.

Loved by creators
They came for the tips.
They stayed for everything else.
“I switched from a subscription platform six months ago. My income went UP, not down. Turns out my fans wanted to support me — they just didn't want to be charged every month.”
“The first tip I got, I cried a little. Someone I'd never met sent me $50 because of a song I posted. That doesn't happen on Patreon.”
“Setup was literally two minutes. The link is in my bio. I make more from tips now than my old shop ever made.”
“My readers love that there's no account, no login, no friction. They just tip and go. The thank-you notes I get make my week.”
“I tried Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, all of them. TrueFan is the only one that actually feels designed instead of slapped together.”
“The dashboard alone is worth it. I can see exactly which fans tip the most and thank them by name. That kind of relationship doesn't exist on subscription platforms.”

Questions, answered
The fine print,
without the fine print.
Those platforms are subscription-based — fans sign up, pay monthly, and expect exclusive content. TrueFan is one-time tips. No subscriptions, no exclusive paywalls, no fan accounts. Your fans support you because they want to, not because they're locked in.
No. That's the whole point. Fans tap your link, pick an amount, pay with Apple Pay or card, and they're done. No email, no password, no account. Less friction = more tips.
Creating a page is completely free. We take 8% only when you earn — if you earn nothing, we earn nothing. Stripe processing fees (2.9% + 30¢) apply on top. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no hidden charges.
Payouts to your bank are automatic and configurable — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once Stripe verifies your account (usually instant), tips land in your balance the moment they're paid.
TrueFan is live in 190+ countries — anywhere Stripe operates. You'll need a bank account that Stripe can pay into in your country, which covers the vast majority of creators worldwide.
Yes, anytime. Export your supporters list as CSV, your earnings history, and your settings. We don't believe in lock-in. Your audience is yours.
