industry OnlyFans alternative: AVN Stars

UPDATE AS OF 2022

AVN discontinued its starts platform in the beginning of the year and no longer operates an alternative to OnlyFans.

AVN is a media company well known in the adult industry through its magazine and famous award shows. With its Stars product the company offers a solid competitor to OnlyFans.

Especially with the traction and name recognition of AVN, it can be well worth it for models to open another profile with Stars, or even use the platform as main distribution channel. Particularly for certain niches like fimdom AVN Stars is used by many of the biggest models, but the platform is generally open to all kinds of creators.

Importantly, AVN is a stable and well respected company that has been operating Stars for a long time, giving creators confidence to rely on the service and stability without significant changes to the guidelines.

Features

Stars comes in a fairly familiar flavour for fan platforms, the platform allows you to create a profile that can be free or paid by subscription as well as selling videos separately as a pay per view. You can also upload stories or go on a paid live stream. Profiles can have free and paid content, which removes the necessity to maintain separate profiles and enables you to build a string following that you can market to, even if they don't outright subscribe.

One highlight of AVN Stars is its outstanding discovery component. On the main page users can find a lot of content and get exposure to new models easily. New content, stories and active live streams are presented here and give you the chance to find new fans and subscribers without marketing on other platforms.

Finance

AVN Stars has a very straightforward payout structure and will give you a cut of 80% of all sales, which is at the top band of fan platform payouts.

One standout feature is the low payout limit of US$25, which is significantly below what other platforms set. Payouts can be requested any time and do not follow a set schedule.

Conclusion

While AVNs Stars platform may not set new standards or present any particularly cutting edge experience it is a solid option for adult models looking for a second (or new) home with their content.

Stars is available for long time and backed by one of the most well known names in the porn industry, as such a reliable and smooth operation of your profile can be expected.
