💵 Subscription Pricing Strategy
Your subscription price is the foundation of your OnlyFans income. Price too high and you lose conversions. Price too low and you leave money on the table. Here's what the data shows:
OnlyFans Subscription Pricing Range: OnlyFans allows subscription prices from $4.99 to $49.99 per month. The platform takes 20% of all earnings, so you receive 80% of whatever price you set.
📊 Optimal Subscription Price by Creator Level
| Creator Level | Recommended Price | Conversion Rate | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Creator (0-3 months) | $4.99-$9.99 | 20-30% | Building initial subscriber base |
| Growing Creator (3-12 months) | $9.99-$14.99 | 15-25% | Balancing growth and revenue |
| Established Creator (1+ year) | $14.99-$24.99 | 10-20% | Maximizing revenue per sub |
| Premium/Celebrity Creator | $24.99-$49.99 | 5-15% | High-value exclusive content |
🎯 The $9.99 Sweet Spot
Our data from 500+ creators shows that $9.99 is the optimal starting price for most creators:
- ✓Psychological pricing: Under $10 feels like a small impulse purchase
- ✓High conversion: 22% average conversion rate from free followers
- ✓Room to grow: Easy to increase to $14.99 once you have consistent content
- ✓PPV friendly: Subscribers at this price point are more likely to purchase PPV
🎬 PPV Pricing Mastery
Pay-Per-View (PPV) messages are where top creators make 40-50% of their income. Pricing PPV correctly is critical—too low and you devalue your content, too high and no one buys.
📊 PPV Pricing Guide by Content Type
| Content Type | Price Range | Buy Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Single photo (teaser) | $5-$10 | 30-45% |
| Photo set (5-10 photos) | $15-$25 | 25-35% |
| Short video (1-3 min) | $20-$35 | 20-30% |
| Long video (5-10 min) | $35-$60 | 15-25% |
| Premium video (10+ min) | $50-$100 | 10-18% |
| Custom content | $75-$300+ | 5-12% |
💡 PPV Pricing Psychology
The 3x Rule: Your premium PPV content should be priced at 3-5x your subscription price. If your sub is $9.99, your premium PPV should be $30-$50.
Never go below $5: Pricing PPV under $5 signals low value. Even simple content should be $5 minimum to maintain perceived value.
💎 Tips & Custom Content Maximization
Tips can add 40%+ to your monthly revenue when optimized. Top creators earn more from tips than subscriptions. Here's how to maximize:
🎯 Create a Tip Menu
A visible tip menu with clear rewards dramatically increases tipping. Example structure:
- 💵$5: Your name in my next thank you post
- 💵$10: Personal voice note thank you
- 💵$20: Exclusive behind-the-scenes photo
- 💵$50: 5-minute custom video with your name
- 💵$100: 10-minute custom video + rating
📦 Bundle & Discount Strategy
Bundles and discounts boost retention by 30% and increase subscriber lifetime value. Here's what works:
📊 Recommended Bundle Discounts
- ✓3-month bundle: 15% discount (most popular)
- ✓6-month bundle: 25% discount (best for retention)
- ✓12-month bundle: 35% discount (super fans only)
