# Patreon vs Fellas Loaded

The clearest difference is rating: Patreon at 4.9 against Fellas Loaded's 4.0. Patreon also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (581K vs 8). Fellas Loaded's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 41%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fellas Loaded sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Patreon asks for nothing beyond the download.

Patreon holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patreon has 581K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Patreon's written reviews are positive against 66% of Fellas Loaded's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Patreon ships an update weekly, Fellas Loaded every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
