Spotify is letting creators build Patreon-style memberships inside the app

▤ Summary

Spotify is introducing Memberships, a Patreon-style paid subscription feature that will let eligible creators charge fans and offer exclusive experiences directly inside the app. The feature targets podcasters and includes a creator dashboard to view subscriber status, total paid, and export member data as a CSV. Creators can continue distributing gated content via Spotify Open Access while adding Memberships as another revenue channel. Spotify plans a selective rollout soon and has not yet disclosed details such as tiering or flexible payment options.
