• LoyalFans review

  The smallest platform here and the only one whose referral commission is credibly lifetime — which changes the maths entirely if you refer creators who stay.

• Fanvue review

  The most credible OnlyFans alternative right now: same 80/20 economics, a 15% promotional rate for your first year, and a platform actively courting creators who feel stuck.

• Fansly review

  The closest thing to a like-for-like OnlyFans replacement, with better in-platform discovery and tiered subscriptions.

• OnlyFans review

  The default. Biggest fan base, best-understood product, and the referral program with the worst recent history of the four.
