OnlyFans vs FanTime for Fans (2026)

FanTime markets itself to creators as a place to "pick your own domain" and run a fan site under their own brand. Most write-ups about it are aimed at those creators. This guide is for the other side of the screen. If you're a fan deciding between OnlyFans and FanTime, here's what a logged-out visitor could actually see on fantime.com and onlyfans.com, plus what each site's own terms say, checked on 12 Oct 2026 PT unless we say otherwise.

The short answer: FanTime is a smaller subscription site run by a Delaware company, Secure Media Group LLC, that takes payment through third-party billers such as Epoch and CCBill. A creator's FanTime page can live on that creator's own domain, so the site you pay on may not say "FanTime" anywhere obvious. OnlyFans is a much larger platform run by a named UK company.

This post doesn't review individual creators. We don't verify or moderate content on either site, and we don't name or link any account. Treat everything on both sites as 18+.

OnlyFans vs FanTime: the short version

• OnlyFans (onlyfans.com): its terms name Fenix International Limited, "a limited company registered in England and Wales, with company registration number 10354575" (checked 12 Oct 2026 PT). Each creator page is its own paid or free subscription.
• FanTime (fantime.com): its Terms of Use (dated 11/13/2025) are an agreement with Secure Media Group LLC. Its 2257 statement lists the records custodian at an address in Dover, Delaware.
• Custom domains: FanTime's creator sign-up page offers "Setup your own domain. Pick your own domain for your fan site."
• Billing names: FanTime's support page says charges may show as "CCBill.com *Secure Media" or "EPOCH.COM *SECUREFAN", not "FanTime".
• Fanclan (fanclan.io): lets you search creators by look, niche, age, location and price, opens their profile on Fanclan first, then sends you to the creator's official link.

What FanTime shows a fan before signing up

We loaded fantime.com without an account on 12 Oct 2026 PT. The home page is mostly aimed at creators: "Exclusive services that make us #1", a "Meet our top Creators" row of athletes and musicians, and a comparison against "The other guys". There's a User Sign up button and a Setup Creator Account button, but no browsable grid of creators.

FanTime's user FAQ says you can "search your favorite models from www.fantime.com". When we tried fantime.com/search logged out, the page read "Oops Unauthorized. Try another page meow". So, for a guest, there's no search to use.

One creator's profile page did open logged out. It showed the creator's name, a TIP ME button, a post count, and a grid of tiles that each read "Subscribe to access all posts". At the top was a "New Member Trial Offer" reading "100% off" and Subscribe for FREE, with a second option to "Subscribe for $9.99 for 1 month". Prices are set per creator, so treat that as one example, not a site-wide price.

OnlyFans showed logged-out visitors a sign-up and log-in screen when we checked (12 Oct 2026 PT). Neither site lets a guest search for creators, so on both you usually arrive through a creator's own link.

OnlyFans vs FanTime: who you're paying

On OnlyFans, the operator is spelled out in the terms: Fenix International Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 10354575. On 12 Oct 2026 PT, the page description on onlyfans.com read: "OnlyFans is the social platform revolutionizing creator and fan connections. The site is inclusive of artists and content creators from all genres and allows them to monetize their content while developing authentic relationships with their fanbase." OnlyFans' help center says "All prices appear, and are charged, in USD" (checked 12 Oct 2026 PT).

On FanTime, the brand on the page and the company in the contract are different names. The Terms of Use say that when you create an account, they form "a binding contractual agreement between you, the user, and Secure Media Group LLC". The 2257 statement, last updated 05/16/2015 according to the page, lists the "Custodian of Records" as Secure Media Group LLC at 8 The Green, Ste A, Dover, Delaware 19901.

A few contract terms are worth knowing before you pay:

• Disputes go to arbitration in Florida. The terms send disputes to the American Arbitration Association and say "Any arbitration shall take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida, exclusively". Class claims are waived.
• Liability is capped. One clause limits any claim to "the amount you paid, if any, for use of the Platform during the previous 12 months".

A named company matters most when something goes wrong, like a charge you don't recognize or a refund that never comes. FanTime does name one. Just remember that the name on your contract, your statement and the page may all differ.

Custom domains: a FanTime page may not say FanTime

This is the biggest practical difference for fans. On OnlyFans, a creator's page lives at onlyfans.com. FanTime's creator sign-up page sells a different setup: "Pick your own domain for your fan site" and "Easily customize your page with your own logo & colors". The home page repeats it: "Get the Site you Want".

It also means a fan could land on a branded site at an unfamiliar address without knowing who runs it. We didn't open a custom-domain FanTime site for this post, so we can't tell you what its footer shows. Here's how to check before you enter a card:

• Start from the creator's verified socials. If the link in their bio goes to a custom domain, it's the creator's choice. If you found the domain any other way, confirm it there first.
• Read the terms link. If you can't find terms that name a company, don't pay.
• Look at the checkout. FanTime's privacy policy says that when you buy, "you will be sent to a webpage where you will securely submit your payment information to one of our third-party payment processors". Know which biller you're on before you type card details.

FanTime's creator page also offers a choice between "Human Creator" and "AI Creator" accounts. We couldn't see how AI accounts are labeled to fans without signing in, so if it matters to you, ask before you subscribe. Our guide to spotting fake creator profiles and the cross-platform check both help here.

OnlyFans vs FanTime at a glance

Comparing more than two sites? Use the wider checklist: compare platforms before you subscribe.

Paying on FanTime: billing names, trials, renewals and refunds

FanTime's support page is unusually direct about billing. It lists two separate support routes:

• CCBill: "'CCBill.com *Secure Media' appears on your billing statement." FanTime asks you to call its own support first, then lists CCBill's consumer support.
• Epoch: for memberships "processed by epoch.com", it lists Epoch's phone numbers and email. For PayPal, it says "'EPOCH.COM *SECUREFAN' appears on your credit card statement."

The same page says "the description in your statement will not match the product name you signed up with." Write the descriptor down when you subscribe so you recognize it later. Our guide to billing descriptors and privacy explains why.

Free trials still renew. The profile we opened offered a "100% off" new-member trial. We couldn't see what it renews at, or when, without signing up. Before you accept any trial, check the renewal price on the checkout page and set a reminder. Our free trial checklist walks through it.

The terms and the profile don't quite match on price. The "Recurring Transaction Agreement" in the terms says a one-month "fan membership" "will renew at the rate of US$19.95 per month". The profile we opened offered $9.99 for one month. The price on the checkout page is the one to trust, and it's worth a screenshot.

There are two ways to cancel, so use both. The FAQ says to cancel creators from your "Following" page. The terms say to cancel "by contacting our customer service department through email", at [email protected]. The support page adds that "The system will send a cancel confirmation to the e-mail address that you provided when you joined." If you don't get that email, assume you're still subscribed.

Report billing errors within 30 days. The terms say that if you don't flag an error "within thirty (30) days after such billing error first appears", the charge "will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes".

Chargebacks carry risk. If a payment is charged back and FanTime believes it was fraud, the terms say you'll owe the money plus "all fees, costs and attorneys fees" of collecting it. If you're banned, you "lose all access to any and all content purchases previously made through your account". We didn't find a separate refund policy among the footer links (Faq, Support, Report Content, Terms, Privacy, 2257 Exempt) on 12 Oct 2026 PT.

Screenshot every checkout page, save the cancel email, and contact the biller on your statement before your bank. Our payment dispute checklist and refund policies guide cover what to keep.

OnlyFans vs FanTime on privacy and safety

FanTime's privacy policy (last updated 5/31/2023) is worth a skim before you sign up. A few lines stand out for fans:

• Your email may get marketing. Your email "may be shared with a third party" to send messages including "special deals from the Site".
• Your profile is public. The policy says to "consider all information and content visible through your profile public information", and treats what you send in chat the same way.
• Deleting your data needs a working login. "[I]n order to request your account and/or data be deleted, you must be able to log into your account." Requests go to [email protected], or [email protected] if you're in the EU.

Because of that last point, sign up with a separate email alias you'll keep access to, and save your login somewhere safe. Our account recovery checklist helps.

The terms say every user must be 18 or the age of majority where they live, whichever is higher, and creators must provide identity verification documentation. FanTime's report form covers non-consensual images, shared private details and "Soliciting offsite payment", with reviews "within five (5) business days".

One line on FanTime's support page is bad advice: it suggests that if you have a personal firewall, you "disable it while you are visiting our website". Don't. If the site won't load with your security software on, try another browser instead.

On either site, never pay a creator off-platform, and watch for lookalike domains. Custom domains make that harder, so our phishing guide is worth a read.

Where Fanclan fits

FanTime has no search for guests, and its pages can live on domains that don't say FanTime. OnlyFans has no logged-out search either. On Fanclan, when we checked on 12 Oct 2026 PT, you could:

• search creator profiles by look, niche, age, location and price
• use the Free chip to narrow the results
• see live creator rankings
• open a creator's profile on Fanclan first, then click out to their official link

Fanclan's footer reads: "Independent discovery platform. Not affiliated with OnlyFans, Fansly, or other creator platforms."

OnlyFans vs FanTime: how to choose

• You want a specific creator's feed: use the link in their verified socials. If it says onlyfans.com, subscribe there. If it goes to a FanTime page or a custom domain, check the terms and checkout before paying.
• A FanTime trial looks tempting: confirm the renewal price at checkout, screenshot it, and set a reminder to cancel.
• You're cancelling FanTime: cancel on your Following page, email [email protected] too, and keep the confirmation email.
• Every time: stay 18+, check the domain, and leave if anyone asks you to pay off-platform.

FAQ

Is FanTime the same as OnlyFans?
No. FanTime is a separate subscription site. Its terms are an agreement with Secure Media Group LLC, while OnlyFans is run by Fenix International Limited in England and Wales.

Who owns FanTime?
FanTime's Terms of Use name Secure Media Group LLC, and its 2257 statement lists the company's records custodian at 8 The Green, Ste A, Dover, Delaware.

What does FanTime show on my bank statement?
FanTime's support page says "CCBill.com *Secure Media" for CCBill payments and "EPOCH.COM *SECUREFAN" for PayPal payments through Epoch.

How do I cancel a FanTime subscription?
The FAQ says to cancel creators from your Following page, and the terms say to email customer service. Do both, and keep the cancel confirmation email.

Bottom line

On both sites you subscribe to one creator at a time. The differences are around the edges: FanTime pages can sit on a creator's own domain, charges arrive under Epoch or CCBill names, cancelling has two routes, and disputes go to arbitration in Florida. None of that is a reason to avoid a creator you trust there. It's a reason to check the terms, screenshot the checkout and keep your cancel email. And if you just want to find a creator's real page, Fanclan opens their profile before you click out.
