Fansly, Fanvue, and Partut all pitch themselves to creators looking past OnlyFans — but they make money in structurally different ways, and that difference matters more than any feature list. This is a focused comparison on the three things that actually move your bottom line and your safety: fees, payouts, and privacy.
Before the numbers: competitor commission rates change and aren't always advertised clearly. The Fansly and Fanvue figures below reflect their publicly stated rates at the time of writing and are flagged as estimates where not firmly confirmed. Verify the current terms on each platform before you rely on them. The Partut figures are exact, because they're ours.
Fees: The Number That Compounds
Here's the core structural split. Fansly and Fanvue both take a commission deducted from your earnings. Partut takes no commission from you at all — instead it adds a 15% service fee on top of your price, paid by the buyer.
| Fansly | Fanvue | Partut | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee model | Commission deducted | Commission deducted | Service fee added on top (buyer pays) |
| Rate | ~20% (published) | ~15% (estimated — verify) | 15% on the buyer, 0% from you |
| You keep per €100 you set | ~€80 | ~€85 (est.) | €100 |
| Processing fees | Per platform terms | Per platform terms | Absorbed by Partut |
Fansly sits at roughly the same 20% as OnlyFans — its published standard rate. Familiar product, familiar cut.
Fanvue has competed specifically on a lower commission than OnlyFans, reportedly around 15%. If accurate, that's a genuine improvement — but it's still subtracted from your side of every sale, and the headline rate has moved before. Confirm it the day you sign up.
Partut doesn't touch your earnings. You set €20, the buyer pays €23, you receive €20, and Stripe's processing (~2.9% + €0.30) comes out of the service fee, not your balance. The full mechanics are on the pricing page.
Comparing fees fairly
It would be dishonest to line up "0% on Partut" against "20% on Fansly" as if the fees sit on the same base — they don't. So compare it the right way: hold buyer spend constant.
If your fans spend €5,000 in a month:
- On a 20% platform, you keep €4,000.
- On Partut, for buyers to spend that same €5,000, your set prices total €5,000 ÷ 1.15 = €4,348 — all yours.
That's about €350 more per month on identical buyer spend, for selling the same content to the same people. Against a 15% commission platform the gap is smaller but still in your favour, because the buyer-pays model leaves processing costs off your side too.

Payouts: Getting Paid, and How Fast
Commission tells you what you earn. Payouts tell you when you can actually use it — and how exposed your money is while it waits.
- Fansly and Fanvue pay out via bank transfer and third-party providers on commission-platform-standard schedules, typically with minimum thresholds and processing delays measured in days. Specifics vary and change — check each platform's current payout terms and any per-withdrawal fees.
- Partut pays out via Wise, built for fast, low-cost, multi-currency transfers — useful when your fans pay in different currencies. The amount in your dashboard is the amount you receive; nothing is skimmed on the way out.
The principle to apply to all three: the faster you can move earnings into your own account, the less exposed they are if a platform freezes a balance or changes its rules. We cover that risk in depth in why creators get banned and funds get frozen.
| Fansly | Fanvue | Partut | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Method | Bank / third-party | Bank / third-party | Wise |
| Multi-currency | Per provider | Per provider | Yes, via Wise |
| You receive | Earnings minus commission | Earnings minus commission | Full set price |
Privacy: Persona, Protection, and Your Real Identity
All three platforms require real identity and age verification — that's a legal baseline, not a differentiator, and you shouldn't trust any adult platform that skips it. What differs is how well each lets you stay a persona in public while being verified in private.
- All three let you operate under a handle/username, so your legal name isn't your public identity.
- The meaningful difference is leak protection at the point of delivery. Partut renders purchased media on a watermarked canvas stamped with the buyer's username, disables casual right-click saving, and applies screenshot protection — so leaked files trace back to the buyer who leaked them, not to you. That's both an anti-piracy and a privacy feature.
If privacy is a priority, pair your platform choice with solid personal opsec — see how to stay anonymous as an adult content creator and how to protect your content from leaks.
Which One Is Right for You
- Choose Fansly if you want the most OnlyFans-like product and an existing adult audience already active there, and the ~20% cut is acceptable for that familiarity.
- Choose Fanvue if its lower commission (verify the current rate) and AI tooling fit your workflow, and you're comfortable with a commission-deducted model.
- Choose Partut if you want to keep 100% of the price you set, get paid fast via Wise, and sell with per-buyer watermarking built in — especially if you already drive your own traffic from social and don't need a platform's internal discovery.

The Bottom Line
Fansly and Fanvue improve on OnlyFans to different degrees, but both still take their fee out of your earnings. Partut's model is the structural outlier: the fee is the buyer's, not yours, so the price you set is the price you keep. On identical buyer spend, that puts more in your pocket every month — and the Wise payouts and built-in content protection are the kind of thing you only appreciate the first time another platform freezes a balance or a file leaks.
