- Does Fansly take the same cut as OnlyFans?
- Yes — a flat 20% of everything: subscriptions, tips, pay-per-view and customs. You keep 80% on both platforms, which is why this calculator works unchanged for either.
- Is Fansly better than OnlyFans for earnings?
- The fee is identical, so the difference is reach and features, not the split. Fansly has built-in discovery and up to four subscription tiers; OnlyFans has the larger buyer base. Many creators run both and let the numbers decide — this calculator models a page on either.
- Do Fansly tiers change the maths?
- Only the inputs. With multiple tiers, enter your average price per subscriber rather than a single tier price and the estimate holds. The pricing calculator on this site suggests a tier ladder if you want one.
- Can I run Fansly and OnlyFans at the same time?
- Many creators do — same content, two storefronts. The real cost is the second inbox: twice the messages to answer in your own voice. That is the workload tools like Velvetly exist to carry, on both platforms at once.
- Do Fansly tiers change the calculation?
- Only as an average. If you run multiple tiers, enter your average tier price and total subscribers; the model holds because the fee is identical on every tier.
- Does Fansly discovery mean I need less promotion?
- Less than OnlyFans, not none. The explore page surfaces smaller creators genuinely, but pages that also promote externally still grow several times faster than pages that rely on discovery alone.
