For creators selling their own products, LiveSync wins on bundled features and fees: $29/mo with 0% on your sales, plus forms, a Contacts CRM and email broadcasts included. Patreon (Free to start, 8–12% + processing) is best for fan-funded recurring memberships where patrons already trust the brand.

Patreon takes 8% of every sale on the tier most creators start on. LiveSync charges 0% on your own sales — you only pay the flat $29/mo. Here's the gap as you grow:
| Your sales | Patreon fee | LiveSync fee |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000/mo in sales | $80/mo ($960/yr) | $0 |
| $5,000/mo in sales | $400/mo ($4,800/yr) | $0 |
| $10,000/mo in sales | $800/mo ($9,600/yr) | $0 |
Payment processing (≈2.9% + 30¢) applies on both platforms and is excluded here. Figures use Patreon's headline 8% rate as of June 2026.
Patreon's percentage cut grows with you. LiveSync gives you memberships at 0% on your own sales, plus a store and an email list you actually own. Patreon remains a solid pick if you're fan-funded recurring memberships where patrons already trust the brand.
