Good question, @edanm. The differentiator b/w Patreon is more than the one-time donation factor. For one, BuyMeACoffee is geared towards creators of all sizes while Patreon works best for large creators. For one, creators require a Stripe account to use Patreon, which already limits it to the only 25 stripe-supported countries. Secondly, small creators with a passive audience find it hard to get monthly pledges from their supporters. BuyMeACoffee converts best in this case as it's quick, straightforward and requires no sign-up to support a creator. We like to think of BMC as complementary to Patreon than an alternative. We often see creators using BuyMeACoffee alongside Patreon to fulfill the quick one-time donation needs. Hope this clarifies :)
