Introducing FanConvert: every Patreon moment, in the right email

4 moments — join, upgrade, cancel, failed payment — every patron creates over time on Patreon. FanConvert watches them and fires the matching email sequence in your own email tool, so the right patron hears from you at exactly the right moment — without you lifting a finger.

The four sequences

  • onboardingWelcome. 3 emails over 10 days for every new paid pledge.
  • free_to_paidFree → Paid. 5 emails over 17 days for the free follower who just upgraded.
  • winback_cancelWinback · Cancel. 2 emails over 14 days, with a 3-day cool-off before anything sends.
  • winback_deniedWinback · Decline. 3 emails over 12 days, with a 2-day cool-off so quick card recoveries clear first.

You write each sequence once, in your own voice, in your own email tool. FanConvert decides which one fires on which patron, and exactly when.

Why creators join

  • Stop losing patrons to silence. The two winback sequences re-engage cancelled or declined patrons before they drift away.
  • Your emails, your voice. FanConvert fires the trigger; the copy and design live in your email tool, sent from your sender address into your subscriber's normal inbox.
  • One-click setup. Connect Patreon with a single confirm. Credentials stay encrypted, never visible to anyone — including us.
  • See every moment. A real-time dashboard shows every join, upgrade, cancel, and failed payment, replays any sequence, and tracks your monthly quota at a glance.

Pricing, in plain English

  • Early Bird — $29 / month (recommended, limited seats). 3,000 membership moments per month, price-locked for the life of your subscription. Once seats fill, the tier retires permanently.
  • Standard — $39 / month. Same 3,000 moments, no seat cap, always available.
  • Pro — $59 / month. 6,000 membership moments per month, plus founder-direct support.

Every tier ships all four sequences, one connected email tool, and the dashboard. There is also a Gift a membership option — surprise a creator friend with a year, paid up front.

Trying it first? The Free plan covers 100 membership moments per month, no card — exactly what counts toward that cap. For context, Backlinko's 2026 Patreon report counts 286,287 creators with at least one paying member — most are growing creators with small but engaged audiences, the band where Free comfortably covers a month of lifecycle moments.

What happens after you join

Pledge a tier on Patreon. Within ~30 seconds, FanConvert emails your dashboard invite to the address Patreon has on file. Click Connect Patreon (read-only scopes, no write access), then Connect your email tool. Your first sequence fires the moment your next patron joins, upgrades, cancels, or has a payment fail.

Good to know

  • Invite-only sign-up. The dashboard is gated to creators who pledge a tier on Patreon. No public sign-up form.
  • Bring your email tool. FanConvert supports Shopify (via Shopify Flow) and Resend today, with more on the way.
  • Deliverability depends on your email tool's sender-domain setup. FanConvert fires the sequence; your email tool sends the email.
  • Cancel any time. Your data exports on request and your Patreon connection is removed cleanly.

Connect Patreon to your sequences in five minutes.

Pick a tier on Patreon and we email your dashboard invite right away. Two clicks to connect, live before your next pledge fires.
