OnlyFans vs. Fansly: Where You Earn More and Why You Don’t Have to Choose
Almost every creator asks this at some point: should I stay on OnlyFans or move to Fansly? The short answer: you don’t have to choose. But let’s look at the differences.
OnlyFans vs. Fansly at a glance
| OnlyFans | Fansly | |
|---|---|---|
| Your share | 80% | 80% |
| How well known | Very high | Growing |
| Getting discovered on the platform | Hard | Easier |
| Subscription options | One price | Multiple tiers possible |
| Follow without subscribing | No | Yes |
Why OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is the best-known platform. Many fans already have an account there with their card saved, so subscribing to you is easy. That’s why OnlyFans stays the main platform for most creators.
The downside: you barely get discovered on OnlyFans itself. Almost all your new fans have to come from outside, for example from TikTok and Instagram.
Why Fansly?
Fansly gives you more ways to get discovered on the platform itself. Fans can follow you without subscribing right away, and you can offer different subscription tiers. That way you reach people who would never have found you on OnlyFans.
Why both is the best answer
With two platforms, you make money twice from the same content. The catch: two platforms mean double the work, posting, chatting and prices. That’s why many creators skip Fansly, even though they’d make more with it.
At Modellaire we solve that: you verify your Fansly account, we handle everything else. Our creators usually make 20–30% more on top of their OnlyFans money, without extra work. Hannah is a good example: she went from zero to about $10K a month on Fansly and is in the top 1.1% of all Fansly creators.
Who should add Fansly?
- Creators who already earn on OnlyFans and want more from the same content
- Creators who feel stuck and want new fans
- Anyone who wants extra money without making more content
