AI OnlyFans at $100M/year
Jan-Erik Asplund
TL;DR: Fansly's June 2025 ban on photorealistic AI content has left Fanvue as the only major adult subscription platform embracing from-scratch synthetic creators. Sacra estimates Fanvue hit $100M in annual recurring revenue in 2025, up 150% year-over-year from 2024. For more, check out our full report and dataset on Fanvue.
We first covered Fanvue in April 2025 at $65M ARR as the OnlyFans fast-follower with looser AI content policies. We also covered OnlyFans in September 2024 at $1.3B in revenue in 2023.
Key points from our January 2026 Fanvue update via Sacra AI:
- Sacra estimates Fanvue hit $100M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2025, up 150% year-over-year from $40M in 2024, announcing earlier this week a $22M Series A led by Inner Circle to fund international expansion and AI feature development—compared to OnlyFans at $1.4B in gross revenue in 2024, up 7% year-over-year.
- After Fansly banned photorealistic AI-generated content in June 2025, Fanvue became the only major adult subscription platform to fully embrace from-scratch synthetic creators, positioned against OnlyFans (4.19 million creators) which requires that AI content must resemble the verified human creator, and xAI's Grok, which offers a "spicy mode" to generate explicit imagery on demand without platform intermediation.
- Voice cloning has emerged as the next frontier for synthetic creators, with Fanvue's partnership with ElevenLabs ($330M ARR, growing 175% year-over-year) enabling both human creators seeking to automate their DMs and fully synthetic personas to offer voice messages and phone calls—extending the monetization surface from images and text chat into real-time audio, the medium where AI companion apps have seen the strongest consumer demand.
