Any differences between itch and patreon

I saw the monthly purchase plan in patreon, so is that means I need to pay every month to keep my permission or what. And if I purchased in patreon, will I get the permission to download the stable resease?

The download link you get with patreon is to itch.io, and I remember some extra files: an older engine download, and a more frequently updated download that doesn't include any engine. So with Patreon, if development starts back up, I think you'd get more frequent updates.

You don't need to pay every month to keep your permission to download the game through itch.io, not unless there's a price hike or something that would disturb that.

The Patreon's paused right now so you wouldn't be paying every month in either case. I used to follow Patreon updates and have a purchase through itch.io now, and I haven't noticed any differences.

Actually, I'm  pretty curious about the "Discord access" in Patreon, it doesn't show in itch

If you purchase directly here, you'll get continuous access to the latest game versions!
