About

Patreon is a membership platform that allows creators to run a subscription-based service for their content and sell digital products directly to their most dedicated fans.

It lets creators set up multiple membership tiers or one-time purchases, publish exclusive posts, videos or audio, manage payments and payouts, host media, and offer community tools like chats and polls.

Venmo is a social payments platform owned by PayPal that lets users send, receive, and request money from friends, split bills, pay businesses online, and manage a balance in its mobile app.

It supports peer-to-peer transfers, a social transaction feed, QR code payments, mobile wallet tap-to-pay, and a Mastercard-branded Venmo Debit Card with cash-back rewards.
