About Kreosus
Kreosus is a crowdfunding and membership platform for content creators, built for the Turkish market. It is developed by Tree of Evolution LLC, the Texas-based company with Turkish roots behind the science outlet Evrim Ağacı, whose founder Çağrı Mert Bakırcı leads the project. Its core job is to let followers support creators with monthly subscriptions or one-time payments, in Turkish lira or major foreign currencies.
Creators set up a profile, define membership tiers with rewards, share supporter-only posts and use an embed code to collect support from their own website. A control panel shows earnings, commission, deductions and supporters in real time. Failed recurring charges are retried automatically. Kreosus is free to join: the platform fee starts at 0% and rises in steps (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%) to a 10% cap as a creator's lifetime earnings grow, and card processing costs 2.9 to 3.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. The site says more than 1,500 creators use it, including Evrim Ağacı, Doğruluk Payı, Teyit and Akademiklink.
Kreosus suits Turkish creators, independent media and nonprofits whose audiences prefer paying in lira on a Turkish interface. Patreon offers a far larger global audience and tooling, Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi are simpler for international tips, and none of them charge in TRY with a Turkish-first experience.
Buying tip: the 0% starting fee makes it cheap to test, but plan for 10% at scale. Have your bank and invoicing details ready, since payouts require them.
