OnlyFans Prices by City: What Creators Charge in 12 Cities

Short answer: across 187,884 indexed creator profiles the average paid OnlyFans subscription is $12.83 a month, but in the twelve US cities below it runs higher, from $13.36 in Chicago to $16.80 in Columbus. Bigger creator populations tend to carry lower prices, not higher ones: Los Angeles lists 1,916 creators at an average of $13.41, while Houston lists a third as many at $16.19. Location is a weak pricing signal compared with your niche and how much you post.

Last updated August 2026. The numbers here come from our own index of public OnlyFans creator profiles, re-measured on the day this was published.

How much do OnlyFans creators charge per month?

Most charge under $15. Across every profile we index that publishes a price, the average paid subscription is $12.83 a month, and the single most common band sits between $5 and $9.99. Only 1.18 percent of indexed profiles (2,212 of 187,884) are free to join. So if you are staring at a blank price field, anything from $9 to $15 puts you in the middle of the market rather than at either edge.

That average is what a fan pays, not what you keep. OnlyFans takes 20 percent of every subscription, so the $12.83 average nets the creator about $10.27 before taxes and expenses.

OnlyFans subscription prices by city

Here is what creators who list each city in their profile location actually charge. "Charge a price" counts profiles with a paid subscription; the rest are free pages or profiles that publish no price at all.

Every one of these twelve cities sits above the $12.83 site-wide average. That is less exciting than it looks: big US metros skew toward creators who treat the page as a business, and business-minded creators price higher. It is a composition effect, not proof that a Houston address is worth $3.36 a month.

Which city has the most expensive OnlyFans creators?

Of the cities we measured, Columbus, Ohio has the highest average paid subscription at $16.80, followed by Houston at $16.19 and Miami at $15.81. Columbus is a caution as much as a finding: only 94 creators there list a location and 73 of them publish a price, so a handful of $25 pages move that average a long way. Houston and Miami, with 518 and 763 priced profiles, are far more reliable.

Do OnlyFans prices vary by city?

They vary, but not in the direction most creators expect. The cities with the most creators are among the cheapest: Los Angeles ($13.41), Chicago ($13.36) and Las Vegas ($13.84) all sit below Houston, Miami and Atlanta despite listing more creators. More local supply appears alongside lower prices, which is the opposite of the "expensive city, expensive page" assumption.

State-level numbers tell the same story. Texas averages $14.29 and Georgia $14.44, both above California at $13.26. If cost of living drove creator pricing, California would lead. It does not.

How many creators in each city are free?

Very few, and fewer than most fans assume. Free pages are 1.18 percent of the whole index, and the city numbers track that closely: Los Angeles lists 25 free creators out of 1,916, Las Vegas 21 out of 1,005, Miami 19 out of 1,131. Columbus and Nashville list none at all. A free page is a marketing choice made by a small minority, not the normal way a creator sets up.

The gap between the profiles that charge and the total is not all free pages, though. Roughly a third of indexed profiles publish no price at all, usually because the page is inactive or the price is only visible once you open it on OnlyFans. That is why the middle column of the table is well below the first.

Should I price my OnlyFans based on where I live?

No. Your subscribers are not local and they cannot see your rent. Fans find creators by name, niche and the look of the page, and they pay from anywhere. The city numbers above are useful as a sanity check on what a working page charges, not as a rule to follow.

Two things move your price far more than geography: the niche you sit in and how much you actually publish. Average prices by niche range from about $10.29 to $15.47 across the categories we track, a wider spread than the city table shows. Media volume matters too. The largest category we index averages 171 media items per profile against an index-wide average of 505, and thin pages struggle to hold subscribers at any price.

One more thing worth checking before you commit to a number: what the pages charging that price look like. A $20 page with 40 posts and a $9 page with 900 posts are selling different products, and fans compare them side by side. Open a few creator profiles in your own niche and price band and see what a subscriber gets for the money before you decide where you sit.

Is it better to price low and sell extras?

It is a real strategy and the data shows plenty of creators using it. A page at $5 to $8 fills faster, and the income comes from pay-per-view messages, tips and custom work rather than the subscription itself. The tradeoff is workload: a low subscription price only pays if you are actively selling to the list every week.

Creators who go this route usually build a second income line outside the platform entirely, whether that is affiliate income or a storefront for the gear and software they recommend, so a slow subscription month does not decide the whole month.

How much does OnlyFans take from your subscription price?

OnlyFans takes 20 percent of everything, subscriptions, tips and pay-per-view included. That rate is set in the platform terms of service and applies to all creators regardless of size. At the $12.83 average that is $2.56 to the platform and $10.27 to you, before payment holds, taxes and your own costs.

Payouts have a $10 minimum and a pending period before the balance is withdrawable, which matters when you are modelling a monthly number. We cover that in detail in how you get paid on OnlyFans.

How we measured this

We matched the location field on public creator profiles in our index against each city name, then averaged the published subscription price of the profiles in that group that charge more than zero. Profiles with no avatar are excluded, as are profiles that publish no price, which is roughly a third of the index. Free pages are counted separately and never averaged into the paid figure.

Two honest limits. First, the location field is self-reported and about 57 percent of indexed profiles fill it in at all, so these are the creators who chose to say where they are. Second, a listed price is the advertised price. Promotional discounts and bundles mean the amount a fan actually pays is often lower.

If you want the counts rather than the prices, which US cities have the most OnlyFans creators breaks down the same index by population. For the pricing cut that actually predicts your number, see OnlyFans subscription prices by niche, and for the decision itself, how to price your OnlyFans.

To see the pages behind these numbers, browse the OnlyFans city directory, or search the full indexed creator database by name, handle or niche. Typing a city into a search box will not filter by location on any of these tools, including ours, so the city pages are the route that actually works.
