Passes vs OnlyFans

Passes' guidelines restrict promotion directing fans to OnlyFans, which limits using one account to promote the other. Reuters documents OnlyFans' use for adult-content subscriptions. Passes' memberships and shop can support a separate non-explicit offering.

Fees and additional deductions

Reuters reports a 20% platform cut for OnlyFans. Passes offers Starter and Creators+ plans, and its creator terms define net consideration after fees, taxes and third-party expenses, including processing costs. Passes' payout guide separately lists extra charges of 10% for instant payouts and 6.5% for one-business-day payouts, without clearly stating the percentage base. Platform fees and optional withdrawal charges measure different costs. A lower headline percentage alone does not guarantee a larger take-home amount.

Applying to Passes

Passes requires applicants to be at least 18, connect an active social account representing themselves or their brand, and pass application review and identity verification. Its KYC guide specifies a valid, original government ID and a live selfie. The reviewed signup guide gives no numerical follower threshold, but applicants still need approval.

Memberships and individual sales

Passes documents memberships, paid messages, paid posts, livestreams, calls, tips and shop items. Memberships can have multiple tiers with monthly, quarterly or yearly billing. This gives a non-explicit creator several ways to package recurring access and individual purchases. Feature access can depend on account status, setup, device and plan.

When earnings become withdrawable

Passes requires at least $50 in eligible earnings for a payout. Pending or reviewed earnings may be unavailable, so reaching $50 in total sales does not necessarily make a withdrawal possible. Its payout guide gives no fixed sale-to-eligible interval, and withdrawal-speed estimates should not be read as the total time from a sale to bank arrival. Passes also says chargebacks can be deducted from a creator's balance or future earnings.

Working with a management team

Passes' terms acknowledge that agencies and other third parties may post content and answer messages for creators. Its guidelines also prohibit account sharing. The reviewed documents do not explain the access method that reconciles these provisions or establish separate staff logins and granular permissions. An agency should confirm an authorized access arrangement before operating an account.
