Small but mighty can still make money—Patreon is proving traditional business logic wrong. AltStore, the most well-known third-party app store in the Apple ecosystem, has become one of the first officially recognized alternative app markets in the EU. This small team of just two people earns over $20,000 per month in fan support through Patreon. Patreon is the most popular membership platform focused on fan sponsorship. They’ve also developed the widely loved retro game emulator, Delta. After Apple opened up related software categories in 2024, Delta shot to the top of the charts. If you want to experience classic games like SNES, GB, GBA, and NDS on iOS or macOS, this free emulator is a great choice. Additionally, two months ago, they announced completing a $6 million funding round to expand their team and further develop the alternative app market. They also plan to integrate with the Mastodon-based Fediverse social network. If you appreciate their products, you can support them on Patreon for about 20 RMB per month to unlock some experimental features and access exclusive content.
