Seven real platforms, with their actual cuts, their actual audience size and who each one suits. Including the part most roundups skip: the case for staying on JustForFans.
Last updated July 2026
Switching platforms does not add fans. Promotion does. We market adult creators where their buyers already are, price the subs, unlocks and PPV, and keep the messages converting, on whichever platform you land on. Free, confidential application, a reply within 24 hours, and your logins and payouts stay yours.
The best JustForFans alternative for most US creators is OnlyFans, because it charges the identical 20% cut against a far larger pool of fans who already have a card on file. Fansly is the better choice if you want in-platform discovery and looser content rules. ManyVids is the better choice if you sell clips and customs rather than subscriptions, though its video sales pay 60% instead of 80%.
Before you move, be clear about what you are actually solving. Four of the seven platforms below take exactly the same 20% JustForFans does, so leaving for a better rate is usually leaving for nothing. The reasons that do hold up are audience size, how fans discover you, and what kind of buying behavior the platform attracts. Those differ enormously, and this page sorts them by which problem you have rather than by which brand pays us (none of them do).
JustForFans takes 20%, or 15% under Exclusive Performer status. Here is what everyone else takes.
| Platform | Their cut | Audience | Discovery | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OnlyFans | 20% | The biggest buyer pool in the category | None. Fans must already know your name | Creators who can bring their own traffic and want the largest pool of fans who already have a card on file |
| Fansly | 20% | Large and adult-friendly | Tags and browsing, better than OnlyFans | Creators who want OnlyFans mechanics with looser content rules and published no-extra-fee payouts |
| LoyalFans | 20% | Mid-size | Some in-platform discovery | Creators who want twice-monthly automatic payouts instead of chasing manual requests |
| ManyVids | 40% on clips, 20% on most else | Marketplace traffic that browses and buys | Strong. Fans arrive to shop, not to follow | Clip sellers and custom video sellers who want buyers who came to spend |
| Fanvue | 15% after an intro period, 20% standard | Small | Limited | Creators willing to trade audience size for a lower headline rate |
| FanCentro | Commonly reported around 25% | Mid-size | Some, plus a promotion focus | Creators who value the built-in promotion tooling enough to pay a higher cut |
| Slushy | 20% flat, or 0% when you bring the fan yourself | Small and newer | Algorithmic surfacing | Creators who drive their own traffic and want to keep 100% of it |
Look down the cut column. OnlyFans, Fansly, LoyalFans and Slushy all take the same 20% JustForFans does. Fanvue is lower on paper but much smaller in practice. FanCentro is higher. ManyVids is the only genuinely different economic model on the list, and it is different in both directions: worse on clips, the same on everything else, with a buying audience the others cannot match. Our full comparison of creator monetization platforms puts every take rate and payout minimum on one page.
Most creators looking for an alternative are solving the wrong variable. Find your row.
| Your problem | Go here | Why, and what it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| You want a bigger buyer pool than JFF has | OnlyFans, then Fansly | This is the real reason most creators leave JustForFans. JFF discovery is good, but the number of fans holding a subscription on OnlyFans is in a different league. Same 20% cut, more people to sell to. |
| You want fans who arrive ready to buy, not to follow | ManyVids | A marketplace behaves differently from a subscription platform. ManyVids fans browse a store. The tradeoff is real: clip sales pay you 60%, not 80%. |
| You are tired of manually requesting every payout | LoyalFans | LoyalFans pays twice a month automatically. JustForFans already does better than OnlyFans here with weekly or monthly options, so this only matters if you are leaving JFF for other reasons anyway. |
| You want the lowest possible cut | Fanvue, or JFF exclusivity | Fanvue posts a lower headline rate but has a fraction of the audience. Before you move, check whether JustForFans Exclusive Performer status at 85% already gets you most of the way there. |
| You want to keep everything you personally drive | Slushy | Slushy pays 100% on fans you bring yourself and splits 75/25 in your favor on fans its algorithm finds. Good if you already have an audience, thin if you do not. |
| You want to be found without paying for reach | Stay on JustForFans | Honestly: the searchable performer database is JFF's best feature and most alternatives are worse at it. If discovery is your reason for looking, you may already be in the right place. |
A roundup that only lists reasons to leave is a sales page. Here is both sides.
Subscribers do not transfer. There is no export, no migration tool, and no way to move a recurring charge from one platform to another. Every paying fan has to find your new page, decide to sign up again, and enter a card. A meaningful share will not, and that is the real cost of switching, not the percentage.
So run both for at least a month. Keep posting on JustForFans exactly as you were, open the new platform, and give your existing fans a specific reason to move: content that only exists there, a lower launch price for the first month, or a bundle that makes the switch feel like a gain rather than a chore. Announce it in your mass messages more than once, because most fans read maybe one message in three. Only close the old page once the new one is out-earning it, and remember that closing it forfeits any Exclusive Performer benefit you were relying on. If you are on the standard 80% split you can legitimately keep both open forever, and plenty of creators do.
One thing worth doing before you move anywhere: check whether your problem is the platform at all. If your JustForFans page has 40 subscribers and you are wondering whether OnlyFans would do better, the honest answer is that 40 subscribers is a promotion problem, and it will follow you. Our guide to promoting a creator page off-platform applies identically to JFF.
Switching platforms changes the logo above your content. It does not change how many people know you exist. We promote adult creators where their buyers already are, price the subs and unlocks properly, and keep the messages converting, on JustForFans or anywhere you land. You keep your logins, your payouts and the large majority of what you earn.
Apply to FansPromo freeOnlyFans, for most creators, because the buyer pool is far larger at exactly the same 20% cut. Fansly is the better pick if you want looser content rules and some in-platform discovery. ManyVids is better if you sell clips and customs rather than subscriptions, though clip sales there pay 60%, not 80%.
Few, and the ones that do are smaller. Fanvue posts a lower headline rate, Slushy pays 100% on fans you bring yourself, and JustForFans itself pays 85% under Exclusive Performer status. Every one of those improvements costs you audience size, which usually costs more than the points you gain.
For discovery and piracy protection, yes. For raw earning potential, no, because OnlyFans has a much larger pool of fans who already pay for content. The fee is identical at 20%. Many creators run both, which is exactly what the 85% exclusive tier is designed to stop.
Yes, on the standard 80% split. Running both is common and it is usually the right call while you are still learning which platform converts your audience. You only have to choose if you want Exclusive Performer status, which pays 85% but requires JustForFans to be your only fan platform.
ManyVids or Clips4Sale. Both are marketplaces rather than subscription platforms, so fans arrive intending to buy a video rather than to follow a person. The tradeoff is the split: ManyVids pays 60% on video sales, against 80% on customs, tips and store items.
Some of them, always. Subscribers do not transfer, so a move means asking every paying fan to sign up somewhere new and re-enter a card. Expect to keep the fans who buy from you personally and lose most of the passive subscribers. Run both platforms in parallel for a month or two rather than switching cold.
JustForFans itself is unusually strong here, which is worth saying on a page about leaving it. Its long-established male and LGBTQ creator base is a genuine differentiator. If you want size instead, OnlyFans has the volume, and Fansly is the most content-permissive of the large platforms.
If you take one thing from this page: the fee is not the variable. Four of these seven platforms charge exactly what JustForFans charges, and the one with the lowest rate has the smallest audience.
