Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bluepark

  • Central plan at £14.99 + VAT per month excludes ecommerce features entirely; full store functionality starts at £29.99 + VAT per month on the Retail tier, and all published prices exclude VAT (bluepark.co.uk/pricing.html, fetched 19 Aug 2026).

Patreon

  • Takes 10% of the income a creator earns on the platform
  • Payment processing, currency conversion and payout fees are charged on top of that 10% and are not quantified on the pricing page
  • The total deduction is therefore not calculable from the pricing page alone, and requires reading a separate support article
