We continue with the theme of adult-content platforms, a segment that has been redefined and is becoming increasingly popular across society. There are many people—perhaps more than we imagine—who are interested in viewing this kind of multimedia content and are willing to pay for it. This is the new model that’s being adopted and seems here to stay: a “fan” user pays a monthly subscription to the celebrities or artists who upload content, so the latter can earn revenue and progress more quickly in their careers. The vast majority are based on videos, photos, or conversations related to the sexual or erotic, but other variations can also be found.

Within this segment, Onlyfans is the platform with the most subscribers and undoubtedly the most successful, achieving remarkable popularity since the beginning of the pandemic. It’s the tool most used by renowned or famous artists, as it provides incredible visibility and is the place where the vast majority of the fan base for this type of artist can be found.

However, there are other alternatives that are also very good—especially for influencers who are just starting their careers and may not yet be ready for a platform as advanced as Onlyfans. For example, Modelfans or Just for Fans are strong competitors and are beginning to attract a large number of followers. Another highly viable option is IsMyGirl, which has features that set it apart from the rest and make it quite original. That’s why in this article we’ll make the key details very clear so you can evaluate everything carefully when setting up a subscription. We’ll also make a comparison between IsMyGirl and Onlyfans so we can clearly identify the differences and each person can prioritize what they consider most important.

What is IsMyGirl?

IsMyGirl emerged a few years ago and was created by the well-known musician and actor Evan Seinfeld. It’s one of the most important adult-content platforms on the market and is characterized by encompassing the most sexual content compared with others. On other sites you can find all kinds of artists or influencers, but this one is specifically designed to fully leverage erotic or sensual content and monetize it in different ways.

Beyond being able to upload content to the feed or our profile for subscribers to view, IsMyGirl allows you to establish a more private connection with fan users, which enables you to earn extra money and become much more established in the space. There are options such as private messages and video calls that make interaction much more direct and leave fans thrilled with the level of communication they can have with the models.

Another interesting aspect is the wide variety of content available, and the fact that you’re not limited to artists’ feed posts. Simply by becoming a member of IsMyGirl with a viewer profile, you already have access to certain content that can be viewed for free. You can then access premium content, which does carry a cost, and if you want to go further there are options to subscribe to profiles, pay for video calls, for private messages, among others. The option artists use most to earn extra money is sending private videos to fans—a modality that is growing rapidly (videos can also be sold through Snapchat subscriptions or via live streams on the platform itself).

How does IsMyGirl work?

The roles are very similar to those on other platforms: if we want to register as models, we simply fill out a form with our details and submit a content sample, then wait for the company’s verification and approval. If we prefer to do so as viewers or fans, the process is even simpler since it doesn’t require verification, and just by having an account we can access certain free content (and start paying for premium if we choose).

Once inside the platform as fan users, in addition to viewing free content we can search for the artists we want to find. When we enter the relevant profile we can see lots of information such as personal data (age, name) and performance details. This gives us tools to decide whether we want to subscribe to their profile; if we agree, we simply click the Follow button to subscribe to the page.

As fans we can also save money thanks to a virtual token option that lets us access certain personalized content such as live streams or private chats with models. These tokens can be purchased at different prices and in bundles (for example, the 10-token pack costs USD 10 and the 15-token pack USD 25), but they end up being much cheaper than paying cash directly at the moment of the transaction.

The model profile offers a large number of tools to generate earnings, such as premium videos, referrals, premium socials, locked messages, custom videos, tips, live streams, among many others. Payout methods vary depending on the user since there are multiple alternatives, and the amounts are also set by the artist themselves (although for some items there are minimums and maximums established by the company).

Differences between Onlyfans and IsMyGirl

If we’re undecided about which platform is best to start using—whether as fans or as models—we need to consider several factors. These are the points we’ll try to define as precisely as possible so there are no doubts and you can make a solid pros-and-cons analysis of each tool before making a decision.

Payments

In terms of payments, we should begin by noting that IsMyGirl gives models the benefit of having many more options for creating content to monetize, which ultimately becomes an advantage because you can achieve a higher volume of earnings.

However, another very important issue is the commission the company takes from each subscription and the percentage that remains with the artist. In the case of Onlyfans, the company keeps 20% of the earnings, leaving the remaining 80% to the model. In IsMygirl, by contrast, the artist’s share is 70% and the company keeps 30%.

This tells us the two options are closely matched here, since what may be lost to IsMyGirl’s commission can be recovered by having more alternative strategies to generate income.

Dashboard

One of the standout aspects of IsMyGirl is how simple and intuitive the platform is to use. This makes browsing the site much smoother, as it doesn’t open ads and doesn’t burden you with overly complex options. Experts mention that Onlyfans’ dashboard isn’t as smooth as IsMyGirl’s, which ends up being a point in favor of the latter.

Discoverability

This is also a very important point, because many artists are just beginning their careers and this can be a crucial moment to become known as quickly as possible. Established models are generally found more often on Onlyfans, as it’s a platform better suited to that kind of personality.

To start with, it’s worth noting that Onlyfans does not have a search function, which makes it very difficult to find an artist on the platform—even if you know their name. The only way is for them to appear to you via the platform’s algorithm. IsMyGirl, by contrast, has a search feature that lets us quickly find whoever we’re looking for. This is much better for artists, as they can be referred and found more easily and thus have a better chance of increasing their subscribers.

We should also mention that while the subscription volume handled by IsMyGirl is by no means low, it can’t be compared with Onlyfans—especially among model or artist profiles. This means that on the latter platform we face far more competition, which can be a disadvantage when it comes to visibility.

Content diversity

Although we already touched on this point earlier, it’s worth revisiting here because it can move the needle. Many artists find they don’t achieve the number of subscriptions they want, and as a result their income doesn’t increase either.

That’s why it’s important to have alternative strategies that let us squeeze the most out of our “clients.” IsMyGirl offers many such possibilities, including locked messages, premium videos, a content feed, referrals, premium socials, one-to-one fan cam, tips, live streams, custom videos, and more.

Even though it’s the more widely “consumed” platform, Onlyfans doesn’t offer these options, which puts it a step behind in terms of the diversity of content you can produce.

Conclusions

If we have to give our opinion as experts in the field, it would be imprudent to claim that IsMyGirl is a better site than Onlyfans, simply because we’re comparing a large, highly consolidated company with another that handles a much lower volume of subscribers. This impacts many aspects—such as the ability to roll out new features, user referrals, or differences in payouts—which generally position Onlyfans as the better option.

However, there are other points that are very important for the growth of a model’s career, especially during the early stages when both financial resources and visibility on social networks are needed. The fact of having greater content diversity to monetize is a very important reason to conclude that IsMyGirl can be a better option for those who are just starting out in the adult-content space. In addition, the chances of being discovered also increase, which can help your career grow more quickly.

Onlyfans, on the other hand, can be a platform that’s much better suited to established artists who don’t need much promotion but simply subscribers to earn money quickly. This explains why the most famous creators are on that platform and why their earnings have been rising dramatically for some time.
