Websites like OnlyFans to make money compared
Fees and payout rules below come from each platform's public pages and creator reports, and they change. Check the platform's own terms before you commit.
| Platform | Fee (reported) | Payout minimum | Payout schedule | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OnlyFans | 20 percent | 20 USD | Manual or monthly auto payout | Fans who already know the brand |
| Fansly | 20 percent | Depends on method | On request | Discovery through the feed and tags |
| Fanvue | 15 percent in month one, then 20 | Depends on method | On request | Built in AI tools |
| LoyalFans | 20 percent | Depends on method | Scheduled | A large video store |
| JustForFans | 30 percent | 50 USD | Weekly | Studios and male creators |
| FeetFinder | 20 percent plus a seller subscription | 30 USD | Weekly | Feet content only |
| Fansti | 12 percent flat | 50 USD | Weekly or on request | The biggest share of each sale |
Fansti does not have a discovery feed like Fansly. If your fans come from the links you post on X, Reddit, Instagram or TikTok, the fee decides how much of that traffic turns into income, and that is where a 12 percent cut wins.
How much more you make at 12 percent than at 20
These are hypothetical round numbers so you can check the math. The gap is always 8 percent of what fans pay.
| Fans pay you per month | You keep at 20 percent | You keep at 12 percent | Extra per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 USD | 400 USD | 440 USD | 480 USD |
| 2,000 USD | 1,600 USD | 1,760 USD | 1,920 USD |
| 4,000 USD | 3,200 USD | 3,520 USD | 3,840 USD |
| 8,000 USD | 6,400 USD | 7,040 USD | 7,680 USD |
Card processing on Fansti is shown to the fan as its own line at checkout, so it never comes out of your 88 percent. Put your own numbers into the creator fee calculator and read every line of pricing on the fees page.
Ways to make money on Fansti
A page on Fansti earns from the same sources creators rely on elsewhere, all at the same 12 percent.
- Subscriptions with up to three tiers, each with your own monthly price and an optional yearly price.
- PPV posts and PPV messages priced from 3 to 200 USD, for sets and videos fans unlock one by one.
- Tips from 5 to 500 USD, with a note from the fan.
- Up to 4 mass messages a day to promote a new set to every subscriber.
- Promo links with a discount or a free trial period, so a post on X or Reddit turns into a paid subscriber.
- Agency seats with team roles, if a manager or chatter team runs your page.
Video uploads go up to 2 GB each with a 50 GB library, so long clips and full sets fit without compressing them to death.
Who makes the most money on a site like OnlyFans with lower fees
Switching or starting on a lower fee site pays off most for three kinds of creators.
- Creators who already earn a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month and bring their own traffic. For them the fee is the biggest cost they can still cut.
- Niche sellers of feet content, photo sets or custom videos who want subscriptions and PPV in one place instead of a marketplace that charges a seller subscription on top of commission. Our sell feet pics page covers that niche.
- Agencies running several pages. A lower cut on every page adds up across a roster, and team seats come at no extra charge. See Fansti for agencies.
If you have no audience yet, your first problem is traffic, not the fee. Start with how to start an OnlyFans without followers, because the same steps work on any platform.
Apps like OnlyFans to make money from your phone
Most creators search for an app, but few platforms in this space have a native app in the Apple or Google stores, because both stores restrict adult content. In practice, apps like OnlyFans to make money are mobile websites you add to your home screen. Fansti works the same way: you post, price PPV, reply to messages, check earnings and request a payout from your phone browser, with nothing to install and nothing for an app store to remove.
Getting paid every week by bank or crypto
Fansti pays out every week, or on request, once your balance reaches 50 USD. New earnings are held for 7 days first, which protects you from chargeback fraud. You choose a US bank transfer or a payout in USDT or USDC to your own wallet, and Fansti charges you nothing for the payout itself. The payouts page has the full schedule, and crypto payouts explains the stablecoin option.
How to start making money on Fansti
- Create your page and pass ID and age verification. Every creator is verified before the first sale.
- Set up to three subscription tiers and price your first PPV set.
- Upload a starter set of posts so the page looks active on day one.
- Put your Fansti link in your bio on X, Reddit, Instagram and TikTok, and use a promo link for a first month discount.
- Send your first mass message the day the page fills up, and request your first payout once the balance passes 50 USD and the 7 day hold ends.

Yes. Fansti works like OnlyFans, with subscription tiers, PPV posts and messages, and tips, but charges a flat 12 percent instead of 20. Card processing is shown to the fan as a separate line, so it does not come out of your share.
Can you make money on sites like OnlyFans without followers?
You can, but it is slower, because most fan sites, including OnlyFans and Fansti, send few new fans to an unknown page. Creators without followers usually build traffic on X, Reddit and TikTok first and convert it with a promo link or a free trial month.
How fast do sites like OnlyFans pay you?
It depends on the site. OnlyFans holds earnings for about 7 days and lets you withdraw from 20 USD. Fansti holds new earnings for 7 days, then pays weekly or on request from 50 USD, by US bank transfer or USDT and USDC.
Can I use OnlyFans and another site at the same time?
Yes. Many creators keep an OnlyFans page for fans who already know it and send new fans to a lower fee page. Check each platform's rules on exclusive content and on linking to other sites in messages before you announce the move.
