Pros and cons
BabeStation
Pros
- Everything sits inside a single subscription platform, with ppv, dms and livestream covering pay-per-view, direct messages, live streaming and tiers.
- Payouts run Weekly or monthly, so you can pick the rhythm that suits your schedule.
- Sign-up uses age verification through VerifyMy, VeriMe and Yoti, plus email confirmation and third-party identity verification.
Cons
- Help runs on email and help centre only, so account and payment questions go through the help centre or email.
- Everything on offer is explicit adult material: live nude shows, sex chat, pay-per-view shows and AI chat models.
Fanvue
Pros
- A free plan lets you set up and try the platform before paying anything
- Creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay, matching the site median of 80%
- The minimum payout of $20 is under the site median of €43.85, so a first withdrawal comes within reach
Cons
- Creator share of 80% to 85% is below the 100% that Feetify lists

- A payout comes on request after a pending period that can be extended, and is initiated within a stated window of business days
Who each suits
BabeStation
Who it suits
- Creators who want to run live shows, private messages and paid content on a single subscription platform.
- Fans who prefer a service based in the United Kingdom with age checks built into sign-up.
- Adults who want explicit material, with live nude shows, sex chat, pay-per-view shows and AI chat models all part of the offering.
Who should look elsewhere
- Graphy, if you want explicit and pornographic content kept out, since that platform sells AI avatar and AI brain tools instead.
- Feetify, if daily cash awards matter more to you than a subscription platform with live shows.
- FeetPics, if you would rather request a payout on demand from the dashboard once the threshold is met.
Fanvue
Who it suits
- Creators who want subscriptions and paid direct messages from a free starting point
- Creators publishing intimate adult content who need it clearly marked and age verified
- Creators who want payout options covering bank transfer, eWallets and crypto
Who should look elsewhere
- Creators who want every fee kept, since Feetify lists 100% against 80% to 85% on Fanvue
- Creators chasing the top share from a partner site instead, since Graphy lists 100%

Questions about each
BabeStation
How and when does BabeStation pay creators?+

Fanvue
What share of my earnings do I keep on Fanvue?+
Fanvue takes a cut and creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay, which matches the site median of 80% for creator share. Feetify and FeetPics both list a higher share, so the split is the first thing to compare if margin matters to you.
Is there a free plan?+
