industry OnlyFans alternative: Fansly.com

Fansly is a rather new but very ambitious competitor to OnlyFans, with a feature set that is appreciated by many of its creators and a strong profession to support the adult industry.

Being founded in early 2020 Fansly quickly gained creators by approaching popular models and bringing them onto their website. With a bit over a year of operation under their belt the platform also had some time establishing itself and smoothen out vital parts of its business.

This gave Fansly an important edge, when in August 2021 OnlyFans dropped the announcement to get out of porn. in response a huge number of creators flocked to Fansly and the platform was flooded with new applications, but how good of an alternative is the page really?

Features

OnlyFans has often been the target of frustration from creators and customers due to the lack of platform stability and slow pace of new features and improvements. Fansly is offering a range of features, that have long been lacking from OnlyFans, such as profiles with locked and free posts, removing the need to maintain a paid and a free profile as many creators do on OnlyFans.

Other innovative additions such as sticker peels give creators more and creative ways to present and sell their content. Fansly builds its user interface following many other big social networks, which should make for an intuitive start to using the website for both creators and fans.

Finance

Fansly offers the same split that OnlyFans does and pays out 80% of your earnings, which is a decent deal and among the best of the industry. With Fansly creators can also earn from referring other models and different than OnlyFans often critiqued move to limit referral payouts to the first year, Fansly does pay lifetime, albeit with a lower percentage than in the first year.

Payouts can be requested from as low as US$100, however common issues of the adult business, such as chargebacks and limited/difficult payout options are a concern and impact Fansly similarly.

Conclusion

Fansly is an ambitious competitor to OnlyFans with an explicit support for sex workers and as such can be a great alternative to give you peace of mind that you can stay on the platform. However the website is still battling performance and stability issues, while not offering better financial conditions which is important to keep in mind.
