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.
