On one pleasant day in August 2021, Onlyfans creators woke up with the bad news that the platform that offers them the opportunity to make money is closing its door for them starting October 2021. Later on, the decision was reverted, but Onlyfans creators were devastated by the news and tried to find new platforms. Fansly, was one of the new platforms that emerged, and many content creators have joined these new platforms.
Onlyfans is still a pioneering platform for adult content creators, but to cope with the bad days, creators on Onlyfans tried to find different platforms that help them make more money or have a backup plan if something goes wrong. As a result, some adult content creators have completely moved to new platforms like Fansly to start their journey without getting any struggle from companies in the future.
What is Onlyfans?
Onlyfans is a social media site for content creators. First, this site was made to help celebrities and influencers connect with their super fans, but when the pandemic hit the world and lockdown was imposed in almost all the countries, this was bad news for sex workers. Onlyfans provided a platform for sex workers to work safely and make money right from their homes. They made a lot of money, and in this quest, many faceless adult creators also joined who wished to sell their private videos but didn’t find any motivation or sources. Onlyfans was the answer to the question.
Onlyfans is a platform where anyone can create an account, verify their identity, and upload videos and pictures. 98% of the Onlyfans content is porn. Creators have the features like starting a subscription-based fan page, selling their videos as pay-per-view (PPV) model, getting tips from their fans and charging for custom requests.
What is Fansly?
Fansly is a social media site like Onlyfans that lets users monetize their site through subscriptions. However, unlike Onlyfans, Fansly is only for adult content creators.
The process of joining Fansly as an adult content creator is similar to that of Onlyfans, but it is less hectic, and the interference is more user-friendly. Let’s have a complete comparison between Fansly versus Onlyfans. I have discussed Fansly in a great deal in this article: A Fansly review: How to make money?
The Five Differences Between Onlyfans Vs. Fansly:
- The number one factor you should be looking for is how much a platform is charging you in commission on every transaction? For example, Fansly and Onlyfans both charge you 20%, 20%, in my opinion, is a big percentage but still, these platforms give you bandwidth, and they invest money into hiring the right people to help you and thousands of other adult content creators. The Winner: Both charge the same commission.
- You should be looking for the second factor to find the difference between Onlyfans Vs. Fansly is the features Fansly provides Vs. the ones Onlyfans have. Onlyfans and Fansly have almost similar features, but Fansly protects you as an adult content creator from chargebacks, which Is one of the biggest issues with Onlyfans. So the Winner in this case is Fansly.
- The third factor you should be looking for is getting discovered or getting exposure, If you are new to Onlyfans, you will have a hard time getting discovered. The same is true for Fansly. If you are already an established creator in Onlyfans, it will still be hard to get seen. However, Fansly has a good search engine in my opinion, and if you are someone who is targeting a category, Fansly might be an excellent platform for you to get discovered.
