Privatly vs OnlyFans vs MYM vs Fansly: The Honest Creator Platform Comparison in 2026

Updated March 30, 2026

I'm Darko, founder of Privatly. And I'm going to be direct with you: I built this platform because I watched creators get robbed month after month.

The Real Problem: The Money You're Leaving on the Table

Every month, creators lose between 20% and 25% of their earnings. Not because they made a bad deal, but because they didn't have a choice.

OnlyFans takes 20%. MYM takes 25% (+ 20% on tips). Fansly takes 20%. And you're just watching your money walk away.

Here's the real math over a year:

Complete Comparison Table

Why 0% Commission Changes Everything

Forget abstract calculations. Here's what it means in the real world.

Scenario 1: Creator Making 500 CHF/month

OnlyFans:

• Revenue: 500 CHF
• Commission (20%): 100 CHF
• You touch: 400 CHF
• Hidden costs: you must create content for 500 CHF in revenue

Privatly:

• Revenue: 500 CHF
• Fixed costs: 89 CHF/month
• You touch: 411 CHF
• Privatly wins by 11 CHF

Starting at 450 CHF/month in revenue, Privatly becomes mathematically better for the creator.

Scenario 2: Serious Creator Making 3,000 CHF/month

OnlyFans:

• Revenue: 3,000 CHF
• Commission (20%): 600 CHF
• You touch: 2,400 CHF
• Per year: 28,800 CHF

Privatly:

• Revenue: 3,000 CHF
• Fixed costs: 89 CHF/month
• You touch: 2,911 CHF
• Per year: 34,932 CHF

You'll earn 6,132 CHF more per year with Privatly.

That's 511 CHF more every month. Enough to hire an assistant, buy better equipment, or just keep what you earned.

Scenario 3: Established Creator Making 10,000 CHF/month

OnlyFans:

• Revenue: 10,000 CHF
• Commission (20%): 2,000 CHF
• You touch: 8,000 CHF
• Per year: 96,000 CHF

Privatly:

• Revenue: 10,000 CHF
• Fixed costs: 89 CHF/month
• You touch: 9,911 CHF
• Per year: 118,932 CHF

You'll earn 22,932 CHF more per year. That's almost 1,900 CHF per month extra.

The Problem Everyone Ignores: Leaks

The data is clear: 60% of creators experience at least one content leak during their platform lifetime.

Your content ends up on:

• Free sites (xHamster, PornHub, etc.)
• Private Telegram groups
• Forums
• Torrents

And when you call OnlyFans or MYM, you get an automated message: "We'll look into it."

At Privatly, it's different.

We've built in native:

1. Forensic Watermarking: Every download is tagged with the fan's ID who downloaded it. If your content leaks, you know who did it.

2. AI Anti-Leak: Our AI automatically scans free platforms and detects your content. You're alerted in real-time.

3. Hollywood-Grade DRM: Studio-level protection for your videos and photos. No easy screenshots. No simple extraction.

4. Automated DMCA: Our legal team automatically sends DMCA takedown notices to leak sites. Your content is removed before you discover it.

All of that is included in your 89 CHF/month.

On OnlyFans, you pay 20% and get zero native protection. If you want real protection, you pay third-party services (200-500 CHF/month).

Your Site vs A Profile Lost in the Crowd

On OnlyFans, you're Creator #847259.

On Privatly, you're privatly.app/your-name.

It's your site. Your branding. Your colors. Your message.

Fans come directly to you. Not on a feed where you compete with 10 million other profiles.

The real benefits:

• Full control: You decide the design, structure, every pixel
• Brand building: Your fans recognize your site and come back directly
• SEO: Your site ranks in Google for key terms (ex: "fitness coaching [your name]")
• Independence: You don't depend on some platform's secret algorithm

Switzerland = Your Data Protected

This is something other platforms never mention.

OnlyFans: USA data. Subject to CLOUD Act. Federal agencies can access your data without a warrant.

MYM: France. Nominally GDPR, but no real sovereignty.

Privatly: Switzerland. Full GDPR + Swiss neutrality + zero digital surveillance treaties.

If you're collecting data from European fans, you want your servers in Switzerland. That's real protection.

Who Privatly Is For (and Who It's Not)

I'll be honest:

Privatly is for you if:

• You make more than 450 CHF/month in revenue (the break-even point)
• You want to keep 100% of your money
• You want to control your branding and audience
• You worry about content leaks
• You want real support (not a bot)
• You want your data protected

Privatly isn't for you if:

• You make less than 100 CHF/month

  • Honestly, OnlyFans is better (no fixed costs)
  • Wait until you have bigger audience before moving to Privatly

• You want the "network effect" of a huge platform

  • OnlyFans has 100 million users
  • Privatly is young with a smaller but more targeted audience
  • If you rely on OnlyFans to discover you, nothing changes with Privatly (YOUR audience is built by YOU)

• You want access to international fans with one click

  • That's built, not found

FAQ From Creators Who Are Hesitating

"What if I want to leave and take my content?"

On Privatly, you get everything. All your files, all your subscribers. Zero friction. On OnlyFans, you lose it all if you delete your account.

"What about customer support? Are you serious?"

Yes. We have someone in chat 24/7. Not a bot. A person who speaks your language (FR/EN) and solves your problem in under 2 hours.

"Are you going to raise fees?"

Honestly? Maybe. But we've committed to never taking commission on your revenue. If we raise prices, it'll be transparent and optional.

"What if the platform shuts down?"

Unlike OnlyFans (a private company with zero financial transparency), Privatly has a viable, predictable model. 89 CHF/month per creator × 10,000 creators = 10+ million CHF/year. That's sustainable long-term.

"Can I test before really committing?"

Yes. First 14 days are free. Zero commitment.

The Final Math

If you make 2,500 CHF/month (serious but not viral creator):

• OnlyFans: 2,500 × 0.8 × 12 = 24,000 CHF/year
• Privatly: 2,500 × 12 - 89 × 12 = 28,932 CHF/year

Difference: +4,932 CHF/year

Add the anti-leak protection, control over your site, and Swiss data hosting.

That's not a small difference. That's life-changing.

Ready?

Create your site in 2 minutes. Zero commitment. First 14 days free.

After that, it's 89 CHF/month for a site 100% yours, 0% commission, and real content protection.
