Fansly Vs OnlyFans: Which Should You Choose?

The Fee Is The Same On Both

Both platforms take a 20 percent fee on creator earnings, so creators keep roughly 80 percent on either one. However the OnlyFans vs Fansly question is asked, the fee is not what decides it. You can see what that split means for your own numbers with the earnings calculator.

The Real Differences Are Discovery, Tiers And Audience

The real Fansly vs OnlyFans differences sit elsewhere. Fansly has built in discovery tools and supports multiple subscription tiers. OnlyFans has no real internal discovery and has historically used a single subscription price per page, but it has a much larger audience.

Built In Discovery

Fansly has a For You style feed, search and hashtags, so a new creator can be found inside the platform itself. OnlyFans has no internal discovery feed to speak of, which means growth there depends almost entirely on traffic brought in from outside.

Multiple Subscription Tiers

Fansly lets a creator offer more than one subscription level at different prices, with different perks at each level. That gives creators more ways to segment their audience than a single subscription price does.

Content Policy History Is A Fansly Argument

In August 2021 OnlyFans announced it would ban sexually explicit content, then suspended the plan less than a week later after a backlash, saying its banking partners had given assurances. Some creators see that episode as a reason to keep a backup platform.

A Much Larger Audience

By most estimates OnlyFans has several times as many users as Fansly. A bigger audience means more potential subscribers, and more fans who already have an account and know how the platform works.

Conversion Is Where We See The Difference

At Yume we only manage creators on OnlyFans. In our experience, Fansly converts new subscribers at a lower rate than OnlyFans does. That fits the wider pattern that creators tend to earn more where the audience is larger and the traffic they send converts more easily.
