Pros and cons
Pros
- Joining is Join for free and a free plan is offered, so the account carries no subscription charge
- Paid messages, pay-per-view, livestream and tiers sit on the same account, listed under ppv, dms and livestream
- Verification is set out in detail: government ID checked by a third-party provider, record documentation and model releases, with co-performers verified too
- The content policy is written out, naming prohibited categories and the rule on AI avatars
Cons
- The creator share of 60% sits below the clip-site median of 60%
- Support runs on help centre and community only
- Avatars must avoid AI-generated images and face swaps, which narrows how a profile can look
Who it suits
- Creators who already hold government ID, record documentation and signed model releases
- Uploaders who want pay-per-view, direct messages, livestream and tiers from ppv, dms and livestream
- Adult performers selling their own material who read the prohibited categories before they shoot
Who should look elsewhere
- Creators after the largest creator share, where CAM4 lists 100% against 60% here
- Uploaders who want AI or digital content with age-appearance and documentation rules, which iWantClips sets out
- Anyone who wants AI content allowed with identity documentation and deepfakes barred, the line Clips4Sale draws

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to join as a creator?+
Joining is listed as Join for free and a free plan is offered, so there is no subscription charge on the account. The platform takes its cut from what you earn, through the revenue share of 60% rather than a monthly platform fee.
What share of earnings do creators keep?+
Your share is 60% under a revenue share model, which puts the brand at 35 across 41 ranked brands. That sits below the clip-site median of 60% and the fan-platforms median of 85%, while CAM4 lists 100%.
What can creators sell on the account?+
The listed features are ppv, dms and livestream, so pay-per-view, direct messages, livestream and subscription tiers all sit on the same account. Creators can open several of these income lines without a separate subscription to the platform.
What proof is needed to get verified?+
Uploads come from verified uploaders only. ID verification covers a government ID, such as a national ID or passport, checked by a third-party provider, plus record-keeping documentation and signed model releases, and every co-performer must also be verified.
What content does the policy refuse?+
The content policy is written in detail. AI-generated images and face swaps are not allowed in profile and landing page avatars, and prohibited categories cover animals, rape, incest, violence, blood, defecation, vomiting and intoxicated or sleeping persons. Content involving minors is refused outright.
Is adult material allowed?+
Adult content is accepted, so explicit material can be uploaded inside the stated rules, and joining stays Join for free. The same policy also sets the documentation requirements, the prohibited categories and the rule that uploads come from verified uploaders only.
How do creators get help?+
Support runs on help centre and community, so the help centre and the community board are the listed routes for creator queries. Verification and content policy questions are answered in those pages, and the account stays inside the same support setup.
