OnlyFans vs. MYM: Which Platform Is Right for You?
Sooner or later, many creators come across MYM and wonder whether it pays better than OnlyFans. Here are the differences, honestly and without the sales pitch.
OnlyFans and MYM at a glance
| OnlyFans | MYM | |

MYM’s fees differ by income type and can change, so always check the current terms directly with MYM before you start.
Why OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is the best-known platform of its kind. Many fans already have an account with their payment details saved, which makes it easy for them to subscribe to you. US fans in particular spend a lot on OnlyFans.
On top of that, OnlyFans’ 20% share is clear and the same across the board. And most revenue comes from pay-per-view in the chat anyway, which is exactly where a large, high-spending audience pays off.
Why MYM?
MYM grew up in France and is better known in Europe than in the US. If a large part of your following is in France or elsewhere in Europe, MYM may be worth a look. Some creators also like that it’s smaller, which means less competition.
Our take
For most creators, OnlyFans is the better main platform: more fans, US fans who spend a lot and simple fees. A second platform makes the most sense when it brings you new fans without doubling your workload.
That’s why at Modellaire we only manage two platforms: OnlyFans as the main platform and Fansly on top. We don’t manage MYM. We’d rather do two platforms right than three halfway. With Fansly, our creators typically earn 20–30% more revenue, without extra work.
Which platform is right for whom?
- OnlyFans as your main platform: for almost every creator, especially if you want to grow internationally with US fans
- MYM on top: if many of your followers are in France or Europe and you can handle the extra work
- Fansly on top: if you want to earn more from content you already have, without producing anything new

How much does MYM take?
It depends on the type of income. For subscriptions, a 25% share is most commonly reported, which is more than OnlyFans’ 20%. Check MYM directly for the current terms.
Is MYM better than OnlyFans?
Not as a main platform for most creators. OnlyFans has a much bigger, more international audience. MYM can make sense if many of your fans are in France or elsewhere in Europe.
