Customs are the highest margin thing most creators sell and the easiest to price wrong. Here are the rates creators actually charge in 2026, the menu that gets requests, and the two platform limits that quietly break a custom deal after the fan has already paid.

An OnlyFans custom video is a clip shot to a specific fan’s request, priced separately from your subscription. In 2026 the common rate is $5 to $15 per minute with a three to five minute minimum, so most customs land between $30 and $150. Rates below $5 a minute usually mean the creator has not counted setup time, and rates above $15 a minute are normally producing something closer to a scripted scene than a phone clip.
The part almost no custom pricing guide covers is what happens at checkout. OnlyFans caps a single tip at $100 for fans whose accounts are under four months old and $200 for everyone else. If you take custom deposits as tips, which most creators do, then a $150 deposit is unsendable by exactly the fans most likely to be impulse buyers. Price the request one way and collect it another, and the deal fails after the fan has agreed to it.
We run a competing creator platform, so treat our pricing opinions as informed but interested. The rates below are market ranges collected from what creators and management agencies publish, not rules. Your own request volume is the only real signal: if you cannot keep up with customs, you are too cheap.
Most custom videos sell for $30 to $150. The spread comes almost entirely from length and production effort rather than from the creator’s follower count, which is why per minute pricing has become the default. Published figures vary widely: some creators quote $3 to $5 a minute for a simple solo clip, agencies commonly cite $8 a minute as a middle of the road rate, and a produced fifteen minute scene is quoted anywhere from $150 to $200 and up. Those numbers do not conflict so much as describe different products.
| Video length | At $5 per minute | At $10 per minute | At $15 per minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 minutes | $15 | $30 | $45 |
| 5 minutes | $25 | $50 | $75 |
| 10 minutes | $50 | $100 | $150 |
| 15 minutes | $75 | $150 | $225 |
Look at the bottom right cell. A fifteen minute custom at $15 a minute comes to $225, which is more than any OnlyFans fan can send in a single tip regardless of account age. That is not a hypothetical edge case, it is the exact price point where ambitious custom requests live. Anything at or above $200 has to be collected in stages or through a pay per view message instead, and you need to know that before you quote it, not after.
Per minute pricing protects you from the single most common custom problem, which is scope. A fan asks for a video, you agree on $60, and then the request turns out to involve three outfit changes and a fifteen minute runtime. With a per minute rate the answer is arithmetic instead of an argument.
Flat rates work better for things where the effort is fixed and short: a rating, a named shoutout, a five photo set. The practical setup most established creators land on is a per minute base rate for video, plus flat add-ons for anything that costs you real time outside of filming.
| Add-on | Typical surcharge | Why it costs extra |
|---|---|---|
| Saying the fan’s name | $10 to $25 | The clip becomes unsellable to anyone else, so you lose the resale |
| Specific outfit or props | $15 to $40 | Shopping and setup time you would not otherwise spend |
| Rush delivery, under 48 hours | 25% to 50% | It reorders your whole shooting schedule |
| Script written by the fan | $10 to $30 | Reading and rehearsing is work, and it usually means retakes |
| Exclusivity, never resold | Double the base | You are selling the clip once instead of many times |
That last line is the one creators leave money on. A custom you can quietly add to your library later is worth far less to you as an exclusive, and fans who want exclusivity are usually happy to pay for it once you name the tradeoff out loud.
The requests that convert are rarely the most explicit ones. They are the ones that feel addressed to one person, which is the entire product a custom sells. These are the categories that appear most often on menus creators say get used.
| Custom idea | Typical price | Effort for you |
|---|---|---|
| Named shoutout clip, under a minute | $20 to $35 | Minutes; the best entry point on any custom menu |
| Custom photo set, 5 to 10 shots | $40 to $75 | One short session, no editing |
| Rating with a written paragraph | $25 to $40 | Low, and repeatable with the same fan |
| Custom video, 3 to 5 minutes | $40 to $75 | Your standard product; set this as your minimum |
| Custom video with fan’s script | $75 to $150 | Higher; quote after you have read the script |
| Girlfriend experience day package | $100 to $200 | Spread across a day; cap the message count |
| Custom audio or voice note | $15 to $30 | Lowest effort item that still feels personal |
Set a minimum length of three to five minutes on video customs. Below that, the setup, lighting and upload cost more than the clip earns, and a $15 two minute custom trains fans to expect a price you cannot sustain.
A custom menu is a short pinned post, not a document. Fans do not read a price list, they scan it for the thing they already wanted. Six to eight lines is plenty.
Template you can copy. Named shoutout, 60 seconds, $25. Custom photo set, 5 shots, $50. Rating with written feedback, $30. Custom video, 3 minute minimum, $12 per minute. Your script performed, from $85. Same day rush, add 40%. Exclusive and never resold, double. Deposit of 50% to start, balance on delivery.
Three details in that template do the heavy lifting. The per minute rate is stated rather than a single price, so scope changes price itself. The rush and exclusivity lines exist so a fan can spend more without you having to negotiate. And the deposit line sets the payment structure before anyone has agreed to anything, which is where most custom disputes are actually prevented.
Take a deposit. A 50% deposit up front filters out the fans who were never going to pay and covers your setup if the request is abandoned. Collect it as a pay per view message rather than a tip where you can, because of the tip ceiling described above: a 50% deposit on a $250 custom is $125, which a fan under four months old simply cannot send as a tip.
Quote a turnaround in days and add buffer. Customs go wrong when a fan expects tonight and you meant this week. Saying five to seven days and delivering in three is a much better business than the reverse.
Some requests should be declined regardless of price, and having the list decided in advance saves you from negotiating it while someone is waving money. Anything involving another identifiable person who has not consented, anything implying an underage scenario, anything that would identify where you live, anything requiring you to meet in person, and anything the platform’s own terms prohibit. A custom that violates the terms of service can cost you the account, which is worth vastly more than the fee.
OnlyFans purchases are final and non-refundable as standard, and refunds sit entirely at the platform’s discretion, decided case by case by support. There is no refund control in the creator tools, so you cannot issue one yourself even when you want to.
Here is the part that matters and that most creator guides get backwards. Because everyone repeats that OnlyFans never refunds, creators assume a custom they failed to deliver is a customer service problem rather than a financial one. It is not. Non-delivery of paid content is one of the specific situations where OnlyFans will consider reversing a charge, and if the fan goes to their card issuer instead, it lands as a chargeback against you rather than a clean refund. A chargeback costs more than the sale, it counts against your account health, and unlike a refund you do not get to choose whether it happens.
The operational answer is unglamorous: only accept customs you have the time to make, quote turnaround honestly, and if you cannot deliver, say so early and offer the fan something of equal value before they get frustrated enough to call their bank.
OnlyFans takes 20% of custom sales, the same cut it applies to subscriptions, tips and pay per view. Customs are where that percentage stings most, because a custom is the one product where you are paid for hours rather than for a file you already own. HerFans charges a flat 10%, so the comparison below is not neutral, but every figure is one multiplication and you can check it.
| Custom sold | Fan pays | You keep at 20% | You keep at 10% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Named shoutout | $25 | $20.00 | $22.50 |
| Custom photo set | $50 | $40.00 | $45.00 |
| 5 minute custom at $12 per minute | $60 | $48.00 | $54.00 |
| 10 minute custom at $10 per minute | $100 | $80.00 | $90.00 |
| Scripted 15 minute scene | $200 | $160.00 | $180.00 |
| 12 customs a month averaging $85 | $1,020 | $816.00 | $918.00 |
That last row is a modest custom business, roughly three requests a week. The gap between the two columns is $102 a month for identical work at identical prices, which is most of a fourteenth custom you did not have to film.
A fan under four months old cannot tip more than $100 on OnlyFans, so a deposit on a $250 custom fails for exactly the fans most likely to buy on impulse. Collect deposits on a rail that matches the price you quoted.
A flat 10% instead of 20% is $102 more a month on twelve customs averaging $85, for identical work at identical prices. Customs are hours, not files, so the percentage costs you real time.
A stated per minute rate turns every scope change into arithmetic instead of an argument, and it stops a $60 agreement quietly becoming a fifteen minute shoot.
A custom you can add to your library later is worth less to you as an exclusive. Naming that tradeoff out loud is usually the easiest price increase available to you.
