Our verdict on each
Fansly
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.
Fanvue
Fanvue suits creators who want a subscription fan platform that accepts adult content, sells paid messages and starts on a free plan. Creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay, and the minimum payout of $20 sits below the site median, so a first withdrawal comes sooner.

Pros and cons
Fansly

- Covers ppv, dms and livestream, so subscriptions, pay-per-view and livestream sit in the same account
Cons
