The CreatorFlow Research Team
The team behind CreatorFlow and CreatorFlow. Independent creator-economy analysts who study what actually works on OnlyFans, Fansly, Fanvue, and LoyalFans — and build free tools to share what we learn.
Who we are
We are a small, independent research team focused on the adult creator economy. We are not affiliated with Fansly Inc., OnlyFans, or any specific creator platform. Everything we publish — tools, calculators, guides, glossary — is based on public data, openly shared creator surveys, and our own analysis of platform economics in 2026.
What we research
- Earnings benchmarks — median and percentile earnings by niche, platform, and subscriber count
- Pricing economics — what subscription, PPV, custom, and tip-menu prices actually convert
- Platform economics — comparative analysis of fees, payout speed, tier flexibility, and creator-friendly features
- Promotion ROI — what Reddit, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram promotion actually returns
- Tax and business operations — US tax handling, self-employment considerations, agency economics
Our methodology
Our earnings data is a weighted average of:
- Public creator surveys (r/CreatorsAdvice, r/onlyfansadvice, Twitter/X creator polls)
- Publicly reported creator income breakdowns
- Platform-reported aggregates (where available)
- Industry publications and creator-economy newsletters
Where numbers vary between sources, we take a conservative weighted average and clearly mark figures as estimates. Specific tool outputs (calculators, generators) are based on platform-verified facts — the 20% platform fee on Fansly/OnlyFans, the 15% on LoyalFans, the standard US 2026 tax brackets — combined with our research benchmarks.
What we won't do
- We won't push paid promotions disguised as research. We have an open partnership with Velvetly (mentioned across our tools), but Velvetly does not influence our editorial direction or earnings data.
- We won't fabricate "average earnings." If we don't have credible data, we say so. We mark estimates clearly.
- We won't sell your data. Tool inputs stay in your browser — nothing is logged or sold.
- We won't pretend to be creators ourselves. We are analysts. Creator perspectives come from what working creators share publicly.
