OnlyFans vs Fansly: prices, features and creators compared

Updated October 30, 2026 · Figures come from TastyFans's index of public creator profiles and refresh hourly

OnlyFans and Fansly work the same way at heart: you pay a creator a monthly subscription to see their feed, and can buy extra posts and messages. The differences are in how subscriptions are set up, what you can see before paying, and who is on each.

How they differ

Subscriptions. An OnlyFans page has one price, from free to $49.99 a month, with optional discounted bundles. A Fansly creator can offer several tiers at different prices, each unlocking different posts.
Free follows. On Fansly you can follow a page for free and see whatever the creator posts for followers. On OnlyFans, seeing anything beyond the public profile means subscribing, though many pages are free to subscribe to.
What the profile shows. Fansly profiles show follower counts and when the creator was last online. OnlyFans profiles show photo, video and like counts; we don’t get follower counts or last-online times from them.
Finding creators. Neither lets you browse every creator by niche, price and place, which is what a creator search engine is for. See how to search OnlyFans.

By the numbers

From the public profiles of 46,338 OnlyFans pages and 179 Fansly pages on TastyFans. We list far more OnlyFans creators, so treat the Fansly figures as a smaller sample.

	OnlyFans	Fansly
Median paid page	$11/mo	$8/mo
Average paid page	$13.78/mo	$9.56/mo
Free to subscribe	28%	6%
Median photos and videos	379	160
Posts per dollar (median, paid pages)	35.9	18.6
Likes per post (median, 100+ posts)	15.9	7.6

A Fansly price is the creator’s cheapest monthly tier, and a Fansly page with no paid tiers (follow only) counts as free. Likes per post is most useful for comparing pages on the same platform.

Fansly’s extra profile fields tell you more before you pay: the median Fansly page we list has 225 followers, and 79 of 179 had been online within the past seven days, going by their profiles.

Finding a creator on both

Creators often use the same username on both sites, and some charge less on one. Every TastyFans profile links to the same username on other platforms when we list it there, and cheaper elsewhere lists the 196 creators whose page costs less on another site. Browse every Fansly creator we list, or search both at once.

Which should you pick?

If a creator is on both, Fansly’s free follow lets you see their style before paying, and its tiers let you pay for only the level you want. If they’re only on one, the choice is made for you. For the other sites, see OnlyFans alternatives, and for typical prices, what OnlyFans costs.
