Our verdict
Fansly is a subscription fan platform built for approved adult creators who want direct messages, pay-per-view and livestream tools in one place. It suits creators comfortable with adult material, and the catch is the share of 80% they keep, below the rivals listed here.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Sends 80% of earnings to the creator, against 100% at Feetify, 100% at FeetPics and 100% at Graphy
- Runs on a revenue share model, the only model in the fan-platforms group
- Covers ppv, dms and livestream, so subscriptions, pay-per-view and livestream sit in the same account
- Pays out through Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer, which gives creators more choice than a single processor
- Age verification required to access the platform keeps the platform closed to adults
Cons
- A share of 80% leaves less for the creator than 100% at Feetify, 100% at FeetPics and 100% at Graphy
- 80% matches the lower end of the fan-platforms range, whose upper quartile is 92.38%
- The Payout schedule holds funds first and pays out on a creator request, so a balance waits before it leaves the account
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line listed among them
Who it suits
- Adult creators who want pay-per-view, direct messages and livestream in one subscription platform
- Creators who want a choice of Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer for withdrawals
- Anyone who prefers age verification in place, since Age verification required to access the platform applies
Who should look elsewhere
- Creators who want the larger share offered at Feetify, FeetPics or Graphy, each at 100%
- Creators who publish photorealistic or lifelike computer-made imagery, which the Content policy does not allow
- Anyone who needs phone support, as email, chat and help centre lists email, chat and a help centre
Where it sits among rivals
On creator share, Fansly ranks 22 of 41 brands, and its share of 80% matches the lower quartile of the fan-platforms group, where the median is 85% and the upper quartile is 92.38%. The three brands listed next to it all pass more to the creator, at 100% for Feetify, 100% for FeetPics and 100% for Graphy. On the payout minimum, Fansly sits higher up, at 7 of 34, even though its minimum of $20 to $100 stays above the fan-platforms lower quartile of €17.54. Fansly also runs on a revenue share model, the model the whole fan-platforms group uses.
What creators keep
Fansly shares 80% of earnings with the creator. The Payout schedule sets a hold on funds first, after which a creator requests a payout, and approved requests are turned around quickly, while wire and cryptocurrency transfers are batched. The payout minimum is $20 to $100, which is above the fan-platforms lower quartile of €17.54 and below the median of €43.85. Creators can choose from Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer, a wider spread of processors than a single-method setup.
What you can publish
The Content policy allows adult content from approved creators, and Age verification required to access the platform applies before anyone reaches the platform, so the audience is adults. Photorealistic or lifelike computer-made imagery is not allowed, and the policy is clear that labelling a piece as computer-made does not make it acceptable. Creators who work with synthetic or machine-made material therefore need another platform, while creators who shoot their own adult content can work within these rules.
How it works
Fansly is a subscription platform, which is the type the whole fan-platforms group runs. A creator keeps 80% of earnings, and the Payout schedule handles availability and approval of withdrawals. Money can leave through Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer. The feature set covers ppv, dms and livestream, so a single account can hold subscription income, pay-per-view sales and livestream revenue rather than splitting them across separate tools.

Frequently asked questions
How much of my earnings do I keep on Fansly?+
Creators keep 80% of earnings, and Fansly runs on a revenue share model. The three brands listed beside it keep more, with 100% at Feetify, 100% at FeetPics and 100% at Graphy. On the sites ranking, Fansly places 22 of 41 brands on this measure.
What is the minimum payout on Fansly?+
The payout minimum is $20 to $100. That places Fansly at 7 of 34 brands on this measure, which is higher than the fan-platforms median of €43.85 sits in relative terms for a low threshold. Creators who want a small first withdrawal may prefer a lower floor.
How do I get paid and how long does it take?+
The Payout schedule sets a hold on funds before they become available, and a creator then requests a payout. Approved requests are handled within a set window, and wire and cryptocurrency transfers are batched. The minimum for a withdrawal is $20 to $100, and the method list is Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer.
Which payout methods does Fansly support?+
Fansly supports Paxum, Cosmopayment and SEPA transfer. That spread matters for creators outside the United States, since a local bank deposit, a SEPA transfer and an international bank wire are all listed alongside cryptocurrency and two named processors.
Can I post photorealistic or lifelike computer-made imagery?+
The Content policy does not allow photorealistic or lifelike computer-made imagery, and the policy states that labelling a post as computer-made does not make it permissible. Adult content from approved creators is allowed. Age verification required to access the platform also applies before anyone reaches the platform.
Who can use Fansly?+
The platform is for adults, and Age verification required to access the platform applies before access is granted. Approved creators publish adult content under the Content policy. A creator working with photorealistic synthetic material falls outside those rules and would need a different platform.
What features does Fansly include?+
The feature list covers ppv, dms and livestream, so pay-per-view, direct messages and livestream all sit in the same account. The platform type is subscription, and the model is revenue share. A creator who wants a broader set of tools would need to look further afield than a subscription platform.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which are the channels listed for the brand. Requests about payouts are answered through the same channels, and the Payout schedule sets the handling times for approved withdrawals. No phone line appears in the list of support channels.
