Built for predictions, not generic content

Patreon works for creators who write, draw, or record. Weather forecasters need maps, structured data, and a way to prove accuracy.

No revenue share

Patreon takes 5–12% of everything you earn. ForecasterHQ charges a flat platform fee — your revenue is yours.

Predictions, not just posts

Publish interactive maps with per-region data. Patreon treats everything as a blog post.

Verified track record

NWS observations automatically compare against your predictions. Subscribers see proof you were right.

Professional portfolio

Your profile shows every forecast with its status. Patreon shows a content feed — no forecast context.

Structured data per region

Enter min/max accumulation, temperature, and timing per drawn region. Not paragraphs — scannable predictions.

Embeddable forecasts

Embed your live forecast map on any website. Patreon content is locked inside Patreon.

Keep more of what you earn. Show more of what you know.

Patreon takes a cut of every dollar and shows your work as blog posts. ForecasterHQ keeps your revenue intact and presents your forecasts as what they are — verified predictions with maps and data.
