OnlyFans vs MYM: which one to pick?
Two platforms, two approaches. We compare everything: fees, audience, features, so you can decide.
Two big names, two different approaches
OnlyFans is the giant. Everyone’s heard of it. It’s got the largest pool of potential subscribers by a long way.
MYM is the French challenger. Smaller audience, but much more focused on French-speaking Europe. And it has a few tricks that OnlyFans doesn’t.
Commission
OnlyFans takes 20% of everything you earn. MYM takes 25%.
Five percentage points might not sound like much. But on 2,000 euros a month, that’s an extra 100 euros going to MYM. Over a year, that adds up to 1,200 euros.
Whether MYM’s extra features are worth that cost is something only you can decide.
Audience
OnlyFans has a global audience. If you post in English, you’re reaching the US, the UK, Australia. It’s the biggest market there is.
MYM is stronger in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. If your audience speaks French, MYM might actually be more profitable despite the higher commission, because your subscribers will be more engaged.

The push media system on MYM is worth knowing about. It sends content automatically to all your subscribers in exchange for tips. Clever bit of design that generates passive income without you lifting a finger.
The verdict
Both are good. And the best strategy is to not choose at all.
Use both. Post the same content on both platforms. You double your visibility without doubling the work. The people subscribing on MYM are generally not the same people subscribing on OnlyFans.
If you absolutely must pick just one: OnlyFans for an international audience, MYM if your audience is French-speaking.
