VixenFans vs OnlyFans: Why Choose Local

OnlyFans revolutionized the adult content industry, but for South African creators, the platform comes with significant challenges. VixenFans was built specifically to address these pain points while offering superior earning potential for local creators.

Quick Comparison

The Revenue Share Difference

The most striking difference between the platforms is the revenue split. VixenFans flips the traditional model on its head:

• VixenFans: Creators keep 80%, platform takes 20%
• OnlyFans: Creators keep 20%, platform takes 80%

This means for every R1,000 earned from content sales:

• VixenFans: R800 to you, R200 to platform
• OnlyFans: R200 to you, R800 to platform

Payment Processing: Local vs International

VixenFans (EFT)

• Processing Time: 1-2 business days
• Fees: R0
• Currency: ZAR (no conversion needed)
• Reliability: Standard South African banking

OnlyFans (International Transfer)

• Processing Time: 5-10 business days
• Fees: 3-5% currency conversion + R200-500 transfer fee
• Currency: USD → ZAR conversion at variable rates
• Reliability: Subject to international banking delays

Real Example:

Scenario: You earn $1,000 USD on OnlyFans

1. OnlyFans takes 80%: $200 to you
2. Currency conversion (rate R18): R3,600
3. Conversion fee (3%): -R108
4. International transfer fee: -R350
5. You receive: ~R3,142

Same scenario on VixenFans earning R18,000:

1. You keep 80%: R14,400
2. EFT transfer: R0 fees
3. You receive: R14,400

That's 4.5x more money in your pocket!

Get paid every 14 days via local EFT, not every week via delayed international transfer.

3. Better for Your Audience

South African subscribers prefer paying in Rands using familiar payment methods. This means more sales for you.

From pricing suggestions to payment methods, everything is optimized for South African creators and consumers.

When OnlyFans Might Make Sense

OnlyFans can still be a good choice if you:
