  • Creators chasing the top share from a partner site instead, since Graphy lists 100%

What creators keep

Creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay. That share matches the site median of 80% for creator share, yet it sits below the 100% listed by Feetify, FeetPics and Graphy. The minimum payout is $20, which is under the site median of €43.85 and near the lower end of the range, ranking 7 of 34 brands on this measure. A lower floor means a new creator can reach a first withdrawal without a large balance. Money leaves through Bank transfer, MassPay eWallet and Cosmo eWallet, which covers bank transfer, two eWallets and crypto. Payouts are made on request rather than sent automatically, so the timing sits in the creator's hands. A pending period applies first and can be extended, and once a payout is initiated funds typically arrive in a short business day window. If margin matters more than the floor, Feetify lists a higher creator share and is the comparison to make.

How it works

The feature set lists ppv and dms, so a creator can charge for pay to view posts and for direct messages, with subscriptions running underneath both. That gives two streams from the same audience: recurring income and one-off payments. The cost of that setup is the split. Creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay, and the balance covers the platform's running costs. Earning and getting paid are separate steps. Money is released on request, after a pending period that can be extended, and once a payout is initiated funds typically arrive in a short business day window. Payouts run Bank transfer, MassPay eWallet and Cosmo eWallet, so the rail matters: bank transfer suits a standard account, while eWallets and crypto cover other preferences. A creator who sells mainly subscriptions sees steadier month to month income. A creator who leans on paid messages can earn more from a single fan in a good month and less across a quiet one.

What you can publish

Adult content is accepted. The community guidelines allow intimate content when it is clearly marked as an adult-only release, consensually captured and age verified, and they prohibit some adult categories. AI-generated media is allowed too, with clear disclosure and a moderation review, which adds a step before anything goes live. The line between accepted and prohibited work is drawn by category rather than by subject matter, so the categories matter more than the genre. On the creator side, ID verification is mandatory, covering an identity check, a liveness check and additional documents on request, with an instant process stated on the platform. That check sits ahead of the first payout, so documents should be ready before any earnings come in.

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?+

How much do I need before I can be paid?+

The minimum payout is $20, which sits under the site median of €43.85 and close to the lower end on the site. Fanvue ranks 7 of 34 brands on this measure. A low floor helps a new creator reach a first withdrawal sooner.

How do I get paid and how fast?+

Payouts run Bank transfer, MassPay eWallet and Cosmo eWallet. A payout is made on request, and a pending period applies first, which can be extended. Once the payout is initiated it takes a stated window of business days, and funds typically arrive in a short business day window after that.

What identity checks are required to get paid?+

ID verification is mandatory for creators, covering an identity check, a liveness check and additional documents on request, with an instant process stated on the platform. It comes before the first payout, so documents should be ready in advance. The $20 minimum then applies on top of a verified account.

What can I sell to fans?+

The feature set lists ppv and dms, so a creator can charge for pay to view posts and for direct messages as well as running subscriptions. The trade-off is the split: creators keep 80% to 85% of what fans pay. Recurring subscriptions give steadier income, while paid messages can add more from a single fan.

What help is available if something goes wrong?+
