Detail: MYM’s real fee structure

MYM looks simpler than it is: 25% on subscriptions, 20% on PPV and tips, plus a 7% banking fee on every transaction. At a typical subscription/PPV mix, the effective creator share is ~68–75% – meaningfully worse than the other five platforms.

Exception: MYM’s “Superstar” programme can reduce the fee to 10–15% at high revenue thresholds, but access is not transparent and most creators stay on standard terms.

Detail: Fanvue payout timing

Fanvue has a “pending period” of 7–28 days (chargeback protection), after which Fanvue aims to process within 10 business days. Worst case: ~6 weeks from fan payment to bank. For cashflow planning: budget a larger buffer for Fanvue than for OnlyFans or Fansly.

Detail: Fansly AI policy

Fansly banned photorealistic AI-generated adult content in 2025 following Visa/Mastercard policy updates. Non-photorealistic AI (anime, stylised) is permitted under conditions. AI content creators must use Fanvue or OnlyFans instead.
