OnlyFans is the platform that defined the creator subscription model at scale - roughly 4 million creators and 220 million registered fans as of 2026, making it the single largest source of inbound fan traffic any individual platform can offer. Creators keep 80% of earnings across subscriptions, pay-per-view messages, and tips, with payouts available weekly once a threshold is met. The discovery tooling remains thin by design, so new creators lean hard on social promotion, but the sheer audience size compensates.

The dominant choice for pure reach, but the lack of native discovery means you are your own marketing department from day one.
