Our verdict
Passes suits creators who want a subscription fan base, a creator share of 90% and payouts that arrive on their own timing. The trade-off is content: explicit material sits outside its rules, and support runs on email and help centre only, so urgent account problems travel in writing.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A creator share of 90%, against a site median that sits at 80%.
- The feature set, ppv, dms and livestream, covers paid posts, direct messages, livestreams and membership tiers.
- A named operator, Passes, Inc., based in the United States, so there is a clear party on an agreement.
Cons
- A creator share of 90% is lower than Feetify, FeetPics and Graphy, which each list 100%.
- Chat and phone are not among its support channels, which are email and help centre.
- Selling on the platform can require name, address, date of birth and copies of a driver's license, so onboarding carries a paperwork step.
Ready to try Passes?
Who it suits
- Creators with a renewals-based audience who want a high creator share and money on demand.
- Creators whose content fits a general audience standard rather than explicit or adult material.
- US based creators, since the operator is based in the United States.
Who should look elsewhere
- Creators chasing the biggest split of each sale: Feetify, FeetPics and Graphy each list 100%.
- Creators who want phone or chat support, since the Passes support list is email and help centre.
- Creators whose offer is adult oriented, since the Passes content rules bar explicit material and nudity; FeetPics and Graphy are the other platforms in this set.
Content rules
Read the content rules before you build a tier. No fake or manipulated sexual content such as deepfakes, no adult sexual solicitation, no non-consensual intimate imagery, and no sale of inherently sexual items; suspected CSAM removed and reported to NCMEC. Identity rules sit alongside it: creators must be adults and can be asked for proof of age, and the terms allow requests for name, address, date of birth and copies of a driver's license or other identifying documents for selling on the platform. For a creator working to a general audience standard, that is workable. Someone whose income depends on explicit material is looking at the wrong platform.
Fees and payouts
The offer comes down to the split and the timing. The creator share is 90%, and the money is available on the creator's own schedule: Instant payouts, withdraw on demand. Timing carries as much weight as the split, because income that lands late is worth less to a creator who has bills to meet between payouts. Taken together the numbers read simply: a published share, and a balance that can be drawn down rather than a batch that has to be waited for. The judgement to make is speed against share, since a creator who can wait for a larger split gets a different result from one who needs the balance now.
Using the service
The toolset decides how much a creator has to run alongside it. The feature set is ppv, dms and livestream: pay per view posts, direct messages, livestreams and membership tiers, which covers most of what a subscription creator sells from the same account. A sensible setup puts a tier in front of the core audience, paid posts in front of everyone else, direct messages where it suits, and livestream behind the higher tier. The commercial side is just as plain: the creator share is 90% and Instant payouts, withdraw on demand, so a paid post sold in the morning can be withdrawn straight away rather than sitting on a schedule. Fewer moving parts means fewer places for money to stall.
The company behind it
The operator is Passes, Inc., based in the United States. That matters for creators who invoice as a business or need a named party on an agreement. Support runs on email and help centre, which covers written email and a help centre, so a dispute about a payout or a verification document is handled in writing, and an urgent question needs patience. A single named company in the same jurisdiction also keeps contracts and documents in one set of rules.
How Passes compares
Frequently asked questions
What share of what fans pay does Passes keep?+
The listed creator share is 90%, taken from what fans pay on a subscription. That is above the site median, which sits at 80%. Feetify, FeetPics and Graphy each list 100%, so if you can bring steady volume, those are the higher split options.
How do I withdraw money from Passes?+
Payouts are Instant payouts, withdraw on demand, so you can draw your balance down when you want rather than waiting for a fixed cycle. The other figure that matters is the split, 90% to the creator. For context, the median minimum withdrawal on the site sits at €43.85.
What identity documents do I need to sell on Passes?+
Creators must be adults and can be asked for proof of age. The terms also allow the platform to request name, address, date of birth and copies of a driver's license or other identifying documents for selling on the platform. The platform type is subscription, and the same checks apply to a paid tier as much as to a paid post.
How do I reach Passes support?+
Support runs on email and help centre: email for account questions and a help centre for written guidance. Anything urgent therefore travels in writing. Email is the most common channel across the site at 80.4%, and a help centre appears on 54.2% of listings.
What can I sell and do on Passes?+
The feature set is ppv, dms and livestream: pay per view posts, direct messages, livestreams and membership tiers. That covers the usual subscription income lines under the same account, and each can be pointed at a different tier. Money moved through those features keeps the same terms, Instant payouts, withdraw on demand, and the same 90% creator share.
Who runs Passes and where is it based?+
The operator is Passes, Inc., based in the United States, so a creator who invoices as a business has a named party. Support is handled through email and help centre by that same company, and the payout terms are Instant payouts, withdraw on demand. The terms also reserve the right to ask for proof of age and identity documents before selling.
Who is Passes built for?+
It depends on the offer. The content rules set a general audience standard, so a creator whose income depends on explicit material should look at FeetPics or Graphy instead. A creator whose audience pays for tiers and paid posts fits the Passes feature set, ppv, dms and livestream, with a 90% creator share and Instant payouts, withdraw on demand.
