Fanvue vs Fansly

The cut each takes

Fanvue takes 15% for your first twelve months and 20% after that. Fansly takes 20% from the start. On $1,000 earned in year one that is $850 versus $800 — real money, but not the thing that decides your income.

What decides your income is whether anyone knows the page exists. Both platforms are billing and delivery infrastructure; neither is a traffic source, and a creator who solves that problem earns more on the worse-priced platform than one who does not on the better-priced one.

Where they differ in practice

• Audience overlap. Fansly grew directly out of the OnlyFans exodus, so its userbase behaves like OnlyFans fans and expects the same conventions. Fanvue has leaned harder into AI tooling and mainstream creators.
• Tagging and discovery. Fansly has more granular internal tagging, which helps a little for browse traffic. Neither will fill a page for you.
• The first-year discount. Fanvue’s lower opening rate lands precisely when you are earning least, which is when 5% matters most.
• Neither demands exclusivity. Running both is normal and costs nothing but the effort of posting twice.

The honest recommendation

If you are coming with an existing audience that already knows the OnlyFans-style flow, Fansly has less friction. If you are starting cold, Fanvue’s cheaper first year and smaller crowd make it the easier place to learn on. And because neither is exclusive, the answer for a lot of people is both, with one as the main page.

Whichever you pick, the work is the same: building an audience somewhere else and routing it in.
