Fanvue Alternatives: Where Else Creators Can Earn
Good Fanvue alternatives include OnlyFans and Fansly for subscriptions, LoyalFans for fetish content, ManyVids and Clips4Sale for clip sales, and MyShrine for tributes, customs and paid sessions. Fanvue's standard share is 80% with a 7-day hold. MyShrine lets creators keep 90% of their price, paid weekly.
Fanvue has attracted creators with promotional rates and a modern subscription product. Once a promotion ends, though, many creators start comparing what they will earn in the long run and whether a subscription page is the right shape for their business. This guide sorts the alternatives by how you actually make money, not just by headline percentage.
Start with the rate you will actually get
Fanvue's terms set a standard 80% share, and new creators have reportedly been offered 85% for a limited period. If you signed up on a promotion, plan your budget on 80%, because that is what you will be on eventually. Earnings are held for 7 days before you can withdraw, and payouts can go to crypto wallets where supported.
Here is what that difference looks like on £2,000 of monthly sales:
| Scenario | Fans pay | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Fanvue promotional rate (85%, reported) | £2,000 | £1,700 |
| Fanvue standard rate (80%) | £2,000 | £1,600 |
| MyShrine, same prices (90% of price) | £2,200 | £1,800 |
| MyShrine, prices lowered so fans pay the same | about £2,000 | about £1,636 |
The last row matters: on MyShrine, fans pay a 10% service fee on top of your price, so a like-for-like comparison depends on whether you keep your prices or trim them. Our earnings calculator does the arithmetic for any price.
Alternatives by the way you earn
If you earn from subscriptions
OnlyFans and Fansly are the main subscription alternatives, both at 80%. OnlyFans has a $20 minimum payout and a roughly 7-day pending hold. Fansly pays weekly after a 7-day hold, with a reported $100 minimum for crypto. Fansly changed its content rules in June 2025 and banned some categories, so check your niche. See the Fanvue comparison and Fansly comparison for detail.
If you sell clips
ManyVids, Clips4Sale and iWantClips are marketplaces where buyers search for specific content. Shares on clips are reported lower, around 60% on ManyVids and Clips4Sale, and iWantClips' rate varies, so check the current figure. In exchange, a well-tagged clip store can bring buyers who would never find a subscription page. Our ManyVids alternatives guide covers this group.
If you run a fetish or findom niche
LoyalFans is reported to allow findom and BDSM and pays twice a month with a $50 minimum (reported). NiteFlirt focuses on phone domination, with a reported 70% share on calls. Findom creators should also read our best findom sites roundup.
If you earn from attention and one-to-one work
Many creators find that a handful of fans pay for most of their income through tips, custom videos and private chats. MyShrine is built for that: there are no subscriptions, and each earning route has its own tool.
- Custom requests: fans pay in full up front; you accept, counter-offer or decline with an automatic refund; earnings are released on delivery.
- Paid sessions: video, voice or text chat, booked on your calendar and paid in full, with a private session room link.
- Pay-per-message DMs, PPV in chat, voice messages and mass DMs.
- Tributes, wishlists with Amazon item search and cash gifts, a content store, live streams with tip goals, and calls.
The trade-offs: fans currently pay in crypto only (card payments are coming soon), payouts are in crypto after ID verification, and as a newer platform you should expect to bring your own audience.
Earning more from the fans you already have
Switching platform is only one way to raise income. Often the bigger gain comes from giving existing fans more ways to pay for what they already want. A fan who subscribes for £10 a month might happily pay £40 for a custom video, £25 for a 15-minute voice session or a few pounds per message for direct attention, if those options are easy to find.
On a pay-per-interaction platform, each of those is its own product with its own price. That also makes it easier to see which offers actually sell, so you can drop the ones that do not and price up the ones that do. Our guide on pricing custom videos is a good place to start.
Should you leave Fanvue or add a second platform?
For most creators, adding is safer than leaving. A few questions help decide:
- Where does most of your income come from? Look at the last three months. If subscriptions dominate, a like-for-like subscription platform makes sense. If tips and customs dominate, a pay-per-interaction platform may earn more from the same fans.
- How much do you rely on discovery? If new fans mostly find you through the platform itself, moving is riskier than if they come from your socials.
- How do you want to be paid? Compare minimums, holds and methods. See our guide to creator platforms with weekly payouts.
- Does the content policy clearly allow your niche? Written rules beat assurances in a support chat.
What to check in any platform's terms
Promotional rates are one example of a wider point: the number on a landing page is not always the number you will be paid. Before you commit to any Fanvue alternative, read the terms for these five things.
- The standard revenue share, and whether it differs by product. ManyVids, for example, reportedly pays 60% on videos but 80% on store items, customs and tributes.
- Who pays the fees. Some platforms take their cut from the fan's payment; MyShrine adds a 10% service fee on top for the fan and you keep 90% of your price.
- Holds and minimums. A 7-day hold plus a high minimum can mean a new creator waits weeks for a first payout.
- Payout methods available where you live. Some routes are limited by country; NiteFlirt, for example, reportedly pays only to US bank accounts or by paper cheque.
- The content policy for your niche, including what happens to your earnings if content is removed.
A simple two-platform setup
A common pattern is to keep a subscription page for your feed and use a second platform for everything that pays per interaction. Your subscribers see the feed, and your most engaged fans are pointed to a custom request menu, tribute page or session booking. Because MyShrine has no subscriptions, it does not compete with your existing page for the same monthly payment.
