There is a limitation on feature usage applies to Patreon Video. When eligible creators sign up for Patreon, they will receive a substantial allocation of free video upload hours (100 hours), which is more than enough to last most creators for one year.

Creators can use these hours however they’d like, including sharing videos with their members and selling videos through Commerce. As a creator approaches the 100-hour limit, we will provide in-product instructions on how to request more hours.

We plan to introduce new pricing for Patreon Video in 2024 that takes into account the cost of hosting and streaming video natively. For further details on Patreon Video and eligibility, please see here.

Premium is for established creators and creative businesses looking for a higher level of service and advanced features. The Premium plan has a limited number of openings at this time. We’ll be rolling it out gradually as spots become available.

Here is the type of creator who will get the most out of Premium:

• Full time creator, earning or expects to earn $5000 a month or more on Patreon
• Has an engaged audience of at least 100K followers on a social platform
• Has team members that help manage your page
