Fansly Alternatives: The Best Options in 2026
The best Fansly alternatives in 2026 are OnlyFans and Fanvue for subscription pages, LoyalFans for fetish creators, ManyVids and Clips4Sale for clip sales, and MyShrine for tributes, customs and paid interactions. Which one fits depends on whether your niche was affected by Fansly's June 2025 rule changes and how you earn.
Fansly grew quickly as the main OnlyFans rival, and for many creators it still works well. But creators look elsewhere for three common reasons: the content rules changed, the 20% cut adds up, or they want a different way of earning than subscriptions. This guide covers each reason and the platforms that answer it.
Why creators look beyond Fansly
The June 2025 content rule changes
In June 2025 Fansly changed its content rules under pressure from payment processors and banned some categories outright, including furry content and AI chatbots. Creators in those niches had to move or remove work, and others took it as a reminder that any platform's rules can change quickly. If your income depends on a niche, pick a platform whose written policy clearly allows it, and keep a second platform ready.
Revenue share and payout minimums
Fansly keeps 20% and pays weekly after a 7-day hold. The reported minimum is $20 for Paxum or local bank transfers but $100 for crypto, which is a high bar for newer creators who prefer crypto payouts.
The subscription model is not for everyone
Some creators earn most of their money from tips, custom videos and one-to-one attention rather than monthly subscriptions. A platform built around those interactions can suit them better than a feed behind a paywall.
Fansly alternatives compared
| Platform | You keep | Payout frequency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| OnlyFans | 80% | After a roughly 7-day hold, $20 minimum | Subscription pages with a large audience |
| Fanvue | 80% standard (85% promotional reported) | After a 7-day hold | Subscription creators wanting a newer platform |
| LoyalFans | 80% | Twice a month, $50 minimum (reported) | Fetish, findom and BDSM (reported allowed) |
| ManyVids | 60% videos, 80% store items (reported) | Weekly, $50 minimum (reported) | Clip sellers |
| Clips4Sale | 60% clips, 80% tips (reported) | Monthly, $50 minimum | Fetish clip stores |
| MyShrine | 90% of your price | Weekly on Fridays, £50 minimum | Tributes, customs, sessions, pay-per-message |
The options in more detail
OnlyFans
The obvious move if you want a subscription page and the widest recognition among fans. Same 80% share as Fansly. Tips are attached to posts; there is no dedicated tribute page or wishlist. See our OnlyFans comparison.
Fanvue
A similar subscription product with an 80% standard share per its terms. New creators have reportedly been offered 85% for a limited time, so plan on 80% long term. Payouts can go to crypto wallets where supported.
LoyalFans
Often mentioned by fetish creators who left Fansly, because findom and BDSM are reported to be allowed. Payouts are reported as twice monthly with a $50 minimum, via ACH, wire, SEPA or Paxum. Our LoyalFans comparison goes into more detail.
ManyVids and Clips4Sale
Clip marketplaces rather than subscription sites. They can bring buyers searching for specific content, but the reported 60% share on clips is well below Fansly's. They work best as an extra shop window rather than a replacement.
MyShrine
MyShrine has no subscriptions. Fans pay per item or interaction: store purchases, tributes, wishlist gifts, pay-per-message DMs, PPV in chat, custom requests, paid sessions, live stream tips and calls. Consensual findom, femdom and BDSM between verified adults are allowed, and the prohibited list is published. The limitations: fans currently pay in crypto only (cards are coming soon), payouts are in crypto for now, and as a newer platform it will not send you much discovery traffic yet.
What the switch does to your take-home pay
Suppose a fan buys a £30 custom video. On Fansly, the fan pays £30 and you keep £24. On MyShrine at the same £30 price, the fan pays £33 and you keep £27.
Over a month of £1,500 in sales, that is £1,200 on an 80% platform versus £1,350 on MyShrine, with fans paying £1,650. If you would rather keep the fan's total the same, price at about £27.27 instead of £30: the fan pays £30 and you keep about £24.55. Either way, you are slightly ahead.

Which alternative fits which creator
Rather than asking which platform is best overall, match the platform to the way your income is made up. A quick look at your last three months of Fansly earnings usually makes the answer obvious.
| If most of your income is... | Look first at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscriptions | OnlyFans, Fanvue | Same model, so fans understand it straight away |
| Individual clip sales | ManyVids, Clips4Sale, iWantClips | Marketplace search brings buyers to specific clips |
| Fetish content affected by the 2025 rules | LoyalFans, MyShrine | Findom and BDSM reported allowed on LoyalFans; consensual findom, femdom and BDSM allowed on MyShrine |
| Tips, tributes and gifts | MyShrine | Dedicated tribute page, wishlist and public gift feed |
| Customs and one-to-one time | MyShrine | Paid-up-front custom requests, bookable sessions and pay-per-message |
Questions to ask any platform before you move
- Is my niche named as allowed, or just not named as banned? The first is far safer than the second.
- What happens to my balance if my account is reviewed? Find out whether earnings are held and for how long.
- How do fans pay? Card-only platforms are exposed to processor pressure and chargebacks. Crypto-only platforms avoid both but ask more of fans. MyShrine is crypto-only for fans today, with cards coming soon.
- Who verifies ages, and how? A reputable platform checks every creator, and increasingly every fan.
- Can I export my earnings history? You will want it for your records and your accountant.
Moving without losing fans
- Do not close your Fansly page on day one. Run both for at least a month while fans find the new link.
- Tell fans why. A short, honest post about why you are adding a platform lands better than a sudden disappearance.
- Offer something that only exists on the new platform. A tribute page, custom request menu or bookable session gives fans a reason to follow you.
- Read the new platform's rules first. Do not upload a catalogue until you have checked each category against its content policy.
- Update every link. Social bios, link-in-bio pages and pinned posts should point to the platform you want to grow.
