Almost every creator who books a call with us asks the same thing within the first five minutes: what's this going to cost me? It's the right question. It's also the one most agencies are slippery about — which is exactly why we want to answer it plainly, including the parts that have nothing to do with us.
The short answer
Most legitimate full-service OnlyFans and Fansly agencies charge a commission of roughly 30–50% of your net earnings — your revenue after the platform takes its own 20% cut — and charge nothing upfront. Solo managers often run lower, around 20–40%, because they offer less. A handful of operations charge 60–80%; those are outliers, and the math almost never works in the creator's favor.
But the percentage is the headline, not the answer. A rate only means something next to what it produces.
A 40% agency that doubles your revenue leaves you richer than a 20% agency that changes nothing. The percentage is a price. The only question that matters is what you net.
The three ways agencies charge
Strip away the branding and almost every agency uses one of three structures. Knowing which one you're being offered tells you most of what you need to know.
Commission-only is the standard for serious full-service management — nothing changes hands until you earn. A flat retainer can be fine for one narrow service, but for full management it's a red flag: you pay the same whether revenue moves or not. Hybrids can be fair, but you have to run the effective rate, because the monthly base often quietly pushes the true cost above a clean commission deal.
Why commission-only is the only model we'll run
When an agency takes money upfront — a setup fee, an onboarding fee, a monthly retainer — they get paid whether or not your revenue moves. Their incentive is to sign you, not to grow you. Once the fee clears, the pressure's off.
Commission-only flips that completely. The agency's income is your income. If we don't move your numbers, we don't get paid — which is exactly the pressure that should sit on the people running your account. That's the entire reason we charge a €0 joining fee and work strictly on commission: it's the only structure where we lose when you lose.
The red flags that should end the call
You can disqualify most bad agencies before you ever discuss strategy. Watch for these:
- Upfront or "setup" fees. Legitimate agencies don't charge you to start. If money has to change hands before any revenue is generated, walk.
- Long lock-in contracts. Fixed multi-month terms with no exit. A confident operator earns your stay month to month — they don't need paperwork to keep you.
- Commission above ~50%. After the platform's 20% and a 50%+ cut, you keep under 40 cents of every dollar a subscriber spends. At 70%, you keep ten. The numbers stop working.
- Commission on gross, not net. Charging before the platform's cut quietly inflates the real rate. Always confirm the basis in writing.
- Income screenshots as the whole pitch. Someone else's results are not a plan for your account. Ask what they'd actually do in week one.
The number that actually matters
Here's the reframe that should drive your decision. The real cost of an agency isn't the percentage on the contract — it's the difference between what you net with them and what you net alone.
So work the math backwards. Figure out how much additional revenue the agency has to generate just to cover its own cut. If they can clear that bar and then keep going, the rate is cheap at almost any number. If they can't, a 10% agency is still too expensive — you'd be paying someone to manage a business that was doing fine without them.
$10,000 gross. The platform takes 20% ($2,000), leaving $8,000 net. A 40% commission is $3,200 — so you keep $4,800.
That only makes sense if the agency's work is what produced enough of that $10,000 to leave you ahead of where you'd be on your own. If it did, the cut paid for itself. If it didn't, no rate would have been low enough.
This is why we never lead with a percentage in isolation. A number with no context is how creators get talked into deals that look cheap and pay poorly — and out of deals that look expensive and pay extremely well.
So what does OMNYUM cost?
Plainly: €0 to start, and strictly commission-based after that — we earn when you earn. The exact percentage depends on your account size, your volume, and the scope we agree on, and we walk through the full number with you on your strategy call before either side commits to anything.
No upfront fee. No lock-in beyond a rolling monthly contract with thirty-day notice. No surprises buried in a deduction clause. And if we run the math on your account and it doesn't come out clearly in your favor, we'll tell you that on the call rather than sign you anyway. We'd rather lose a deal than build a partnership the numbers don't support.
This is the kind of straight-talk operating logic behind The OMNYUM Chatting Playbook — our free five-framework breakdown of the systems we run on every account. Same principle throughout: show the math, then earn the rate.
