Many creators run both and cross-promote rather than choosing only one.
Where they differ
OnlyFans: largest audience, simple setup, strong brand recognition. Fansly: tiered subscriptions, free tiers, and tag-based browsing that can surface new content.
Both require ID verification and pay 80 percent to the creator.
How to choose
Start where your audience already is (usually OnlyFans), then add Fansly to capture extra discovery and tiers.
Promotion still matters more than the platform — neither sends much organic traffic.
