If you’re an artist or producer, there’s a good chance you’ve either tried Patreon or thought about it. It’s become the default answer when musicians talk about memberships and fan support.

But after years of experimenting with Patreon, Bandcamp, Discord, Shopify, and more, we ended up building our main fan platform and app on Kajabi instead.

This post explains why we see Kajabi as a powerful Patreon alternative for serious artists and producers.

The Problem With Only Living On Patreon

Patreon does a lot of things well:

• It gives you a quick way to collect recurring support
• It has built‑in messaging and content posts
• It gives fans a familiar interface

But it also has some real limitations if you’re thinking long‑term:

• Platform fees: Patreon takes around 10–15% of your revenue when you add up platform fees + payment processing + add‑ons. At $1,000/month, that’s $100–$150 gone every month.
• No real ownership: Your page, layout, and community all live inside Patreon’s ecos

If you typed “plurthings” into your browser, there’s a good chance you were actually looking for PLURTH or PLURTHLINGS. That happens a lot. Even some of our best fans mix up the name, so we decided to turn that happy accident into something useful.

This page explains what PLUR things is, where you probably meant to go, and why we built this “creator hub” in the first place.

Did You Mean PLURTH Or PLURTHLINGS?

Quick routing guide:

• If you’re looking for our music, fan community, or the PLURTH app, you probably meant:
  PLURTH → our “digital music festival resort” and fan hub.

• If you’re looking for our merch, clothes, and physical goods, you probably meant:
  PLURTHLINGS → our shop and label brand.

PLUR things is different. It’s the behind-the-scenes, B2B side of what we do.

So What Is PLUR things?

PLUR things is our creator and partner hub.

It’s where we:

• Show other artists, producers, and creators how we built the PLURTH ecosystem
• Share the tech stack and systems ...
