Fees on Fansly vs OnlyFans
Both sites report the same 20 percent on everything. On 2,000 USD of fan payments, each keeps 400 USD and you keep 1,600 USD. Neither one charges a monthly fee to creators, as reported.
That means switching between these two will not change your take home on its own. What changes it is how many fans each site helps you reach. If you want the numbers in more detail, read our guide to OnlyFans fees or how much OnlyFans takes.
Discovery and finding new fans
This is the biggest real difference. Fansly has a feed and tags that can show your posts to fans who do not follow you yet, according to its pages. Creators often say this helps new pages get their first subscribers.
OnlyFans has the strongest brand, so fans trust the checkout and many already have an account. But, as creators commonly report, most new fans arrive through links you share on your own socials, not through browsing inside the site.

Subscription tiers and pricing
Fansly lets you offer several subscription tiers, as reported. Fans can pick a basic level or pay more for extra content. OnlyFans uses one subscription price with discounted bundles for longer periods, plus PPV for extras.
Tiers help when your fans have different budgets. Here is a hypothetical example. 80 fans pay 9.99 USD, 20 pay 29.99 USD and 5 pay 79.99 USD. That is 799.20 plus 599.80 plus 399.95, so 1,798.95 USD a month from three tiers. Fansti also offers up to three tiers with your own prices.
Verdict by creator type
- New creator with no audience. Fansly may suit you better, because the feed and tags can bring early fans.
- Creator with a strong social following. OnlyFans may suit you, because fans already know the name and arrive through your links.
- Creator who wants tiers. Fansly, or Fansti, both offer multiple tiers.
- Established creator focused on take home. Look past both. At a 12 percent fee, Fansti keeps 160 USD more per 2,000 USD of fan payments.
- Agency or manager. Check team tools on each site. Fansti has agency accounts with roles, logged actions and split payouts at no extra charge.
Many creators keep two pages and use the one with discovery to find fans and the one with the lower fee to earn more from loyal ones.
Where Fansti fits between them
Fansti is an adult first platform with a flat 12 percent fee. You keep 88 percent of every price you set, on subscriptions, PPV and tips. Payment processing is shown to the fan at checkout as its own line, so it never comes out of your share.
Payouts go out weekly or on request from 50 USD, by bank or in USDT and USDC. You get up to three tiers, PPV posts and messages, mass messages, watermarks and geo blocking. Moving is simple: the import helper mirrors your current prices, and you share your new link. See every number on the Fansti fees page, or start on the Fansti homepage.
