Launching Patreon!
Firefly is officially launching a Patreon with 3 price tiers to support the success of our app. Click here to check it out! It's been a long time coming and some of you have even requested it over the years, so we're excited to finally implement it.
Why Patreon?
As you may know, Firefly is completely free to use with a commitment to never put features behind paywalls and we regularly get questions about how we plan to monetize. There has even been skepticism about the app because there's no way to see how we get our money. In truth, we have been paying for Firefly completely out of pocket, which has limited our potential for marketing, advertising, and overall growth.
Patreon is a way to be a monthly supporter of Firefly. Our tiers, Glowbug, Flare Friend, and Flame Keeper, are a way to give consistent support to the app.
If you're able to support Firefly through our Patreon, you're actively supporting the longevity of the app regardless of the tier you choose. And if you can't give monetarily, please know that your support and continued use of the app is extremely appreciated.
Looking ahead
Because we know we'll get questions - our team is looking into additional ways to grow and sustain Firefly monetarily including in-app aesthetic purchases and a Kickstarter. At this point, we don't have concrete dates on when these will be ready, but you will see updates on our Progress Tracker as we work on them.
You can join the discussion on these topics by joining our Discord and Reddit communities!
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Firefly, whether you're a new user or whether you've been with us since 2022.
