The Comradery announcement image for the open beta, which reads "now in beta!". There's a black creature blob to the right which has wings, two legs, and one visible eye. It's sitting down, with its mouth open, showing its teeth and tongue. the background is the text "COMRADERY.CO" duplicated many times in various orange and yellow shades.

Comradery, a worker co-op alternative to the likes of Patreon and Ko-fi, has been up and running in closed alpha with a select group of creators since 2021. A few days ago around 2025-04-17T18:00:00Z, they’ve finally opened up the platform in an open beta.

You can apply to be a creator here and learn more about how it works on their website.

Personally, I’m very interested in migrating completely from Ko-fi and Patreon to Comradery. I’ve been keeping tabs on them ever since they announced the idea for their platform, before the closed alpha even started. However, right now I don’t currently have the bandwidth to make that transition, tell all my supporters about it, and spare the hours to perform the duties required of members. But, maybe someone else here would be interested ^^

(In case it’s not clear, t/suki is not in any way affiliated with Comradery)

This looks amazing. I’ve had problems with Patreon and permanently shut down mine after they forcibly ended my vacation status and stripped me of my grandfathered plan. (There was a 12 month limit on the pause but it was not publicly stated anywhere, I was not warned in advanced, etc.)

I’ve also been really wanting to support and be involved in more worker owned co-ops in my life. I wish I could exclusively be a customer of co-op companies / I dream of living in and/or working in a co-op. I didn’t even know until recently that housing co-ops are a thing.

I was reading through their info and really impressed that you have a call with existing creators before joining.

I’m really excited about this idea, I am seriously considering it!
