Patreon only charge you at the end of the month, so you are free to test the tiers if you like without paying anything. In the future they may become free updates, but not for now.
There is already some updates on the patreon version, like better memory and img2img

Sorry but no, Patreon charges upfront for any tier so there is no free testing of tiers and they charge the first of the month no matter when you joined the month before. This is the week before the next month, paying $10 now in September and then having to pay $10 for October a week later is too soon for many people. On October 1st you will probably see an influx of patrons.
As someone who runs a little Patreon, nah.
Creators on Patreon get to choose if it's set to pay upfront, or just at the first of the month, and GRisk's Patreon is set to the first of the month. I still haven't been charged a cent since I subbed, but I have full access to the download just fine.
Someone could legitimately sub to GRisk, unsub at the end of the month and resub at the beginning of the next month and get full access for free forever, which is probably why most creators switch to the "pay upfront" mode.
