To sell adult videos online, upload them to a platform that handles age checks, payments and payouts for you, then price each clip as pay-per-view or put it behind a subscription. Clip stores like ManyVids, Clips4Sale and iWantClips pay 60% on a video sale. Fan platforms like OnlyFans, Fansly and HerFans pay 80% or more, but you bring the buyers yourself.
That difference of 20 points on every video is the whole decision. A clip store charges more because its search sends strangers to your clips. A fan platform charges less because the people buying already follow you. Most creators who sell a lot of video end up using one of each, and the tables below show what each site pays, when, and what you need to open an account.
We run HerFans, so weigh what we say about ourselves accordingly. Every competitor figure here comes from that company’s own rate card, terms or help center, read between September and October 2026.
The figure that matters is what lands in your account from each video sale, not the headline rate on the homepage. Clip stores pay one rate on clips and a better one on tips and customs, so check the row for what you actually sell most.
| Site | On a video sale | On customs and tips | Payouts | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HerFans | 80% | 80% | On request, after each sale pends 30 days | $10 |
| OnlyFans | 80% | 80% | Manual or automatic, after about 7 days pending | $20 for most methods |
| Fansly | 80% | 80% | Each sale pends 7 days, then a few business days to arrive | $20 (ACH, Paxum) |
| ManyVids | 60% on vids, 80% in your store and club | 80% | Weekly, Wednesdays, 7 days in arrears | $50 |
| Clips4Sale | 60% | 80% on customs and tips | Monthly, on the 7th | $50 US |
| iWantClips | 60% | 80% on tips, 100% of a custom clip price | Twice a month (12th and 27th) or monthly | $50 |
On $1,000 of clip sales a month, a 60% store sends you $600 and an 80% platform sends you $800. Over a year that is $2,400, which is real money for the same files. The clip stores earn it only if their search brings you buyers you would not have found yourself.
The best site to sell adult videos is the one that matches where your buyers come from. If people find you through Reddit, X or a link in your bio, a fan platform paying 80% or more keeps the most. If you have no audience and film niche or fetish clips, a clip store with its own search is worth its 40% cut while you build one.
Here is how that plays out by situation:
You start by verifying your age and identity, then you upload, price and promote. Every legitimate adult platform asks for a government photo ID and a live selfie before you can publish or be paid, and any person who appears in a clip with you must verify and sign a release too.
Most creators price short clips between $10 and $25 and custom videos at about $5 to $15 per minute with a 3 to 5 minute minimum. Price longer and more specific clips higher, and test one price point for a few weeks before changing it, because regular buyers notice and wait for discounts.
| Video type | Common price in 2026 | How to sell it |
|---|---|---|
| Teaser clip, under 1 minute | Free or $5 | Public post to win new subscribers |
| Short clip, 5 to 10 minutes | $10 to $25 | Pay-per-view post or paid message |
| Longer clip, 15 minutes and up | $25 to $50 | Pay-per-view or a bundle with a subscription |
| Custom video | $5 to $15 per minute, 3 to 5 minute minimum | Custom request, paid before you film |
| Clip bundle | Two or three clips at 30% off | Paid message to your most active fans |
You cannot stop every copy, but you can make stolen clips traceable and easy to take down. Use a platform that watermarks the stored file rather than overlaying text in the player, keep your face or tattoos out of clips if anonymity matters, and file DMCA notices quickly when copies appear.
On HerFans the address herfans.com/yourname is written into every photo and video file when it is processed, bottom right, so a downloaded copy still carries it. Every picture also gets a fingerprint, and a near-identical upload under another account is flagged to us. That does not scan the whole web, so a takedown service is still worth it once you sell a lot.
Yes. In the US, video sales are self-employment income, taxed at your normal rate plus 15.3% self-employment tax once you net $400 or more in a year. Platforms send a 1099 above federal thresholds, but you owe tax on every dollar either way, so set aside 25% to 30% of each payout.
Keep the costs you can deduct: your camera, lighting, editing software, props and outfits used only on camera, and the share of your phone and internet used for work. Our guide to tax deductions for content creators lists what qualifies.
What a creator keeps on a video sale, how payouts work, and who each site suits. Figures from each company’s own pages, read September and October 2026.
| Platform | Creator keeps | Payouts | Best for |

| Fansly | 80% | $20 minimum, every sale pends 7 days | Being found through tags and a For You feed |
| ManyVids | 60% on vids, 80% club and store | $50 minimum, weekly on Wednesdays | Mixing a clip store with a fan club |
| Clips4Sale | 60% on clips, 80% customs and tips | $50 US minimum, monthly on the 7th | Fetish and niche clips with no audience yet |
| iWantClips | 60% on clips, 80% tips | $50 minimum, twice a month or monthly | Customs and niche clip buyers |
Fees and payout terms are set by each platform and can change. Figures reflect publicly listed terms; check each site for current rates.
A flat 20% on every video, whether you sell it as pay-per-view, in a paid message or inside a subscription. Files up to 1 GB, your profile address stamped into every stored video, and custom request money held until you deliver. Payouts from $10 to a bank account in your own name after each sale pends 30 days. Honest drawback: a newer and smaller fan base than OnlyFans, so you bring your buyers.
Flat 20% on everything, including pay-per-view messages, and the name fans already search for. Almost no discovery inside the site, so every video sale starts with your own promotion.
80% flat in its terms, tag search and a For You feed that can surface clips to new fans. Every sale pends seven days, and an account idle for 12 months pays $5 a month from its earnings.
Its 2026 rate card pays 60% on vids, vid bundles and pay-to-open, and 80% on the club, customs, tips and store items. Weekly payouts on Wednesdays from $50, and US creators file a W-9 before adding a payment method.
Running since 2003 with buyers who search by category. Its terms take 40% of clip sales and 20% of tips; customs pay 80% and are held until the buyer approves. Paid monthly on the 7th from $50 in the US, with free ACH.
60% on clips and store items, 70% on pay-to-view messages, 80% on tips and 100% of a custom clip price, with the buyer paying a convenience fee. Paid twice a month or monthly from $50, with free ACH and check.
Pay-per-view posts, paid messages, subscriptions and tips all pay the same published rate, with no lower rate on clips.
Upload MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM. Your profile address is stamped into the stored file so a stolen copy points back to you.
A fan pays when you accept a custom request, the money is held, and it is released to you when you deliver.
Sign up in seconds with email, pick a creator name, and set up your profile. No upfront cost.
Upload photos and videos, set a monthly subscription price, and lock premium posts behind pay-per-view.
Fans subscribe, tip and unlock your content. You ask for a payout from your dashboard once your available balance reaches the published minimum. Each sale is pending for 30 days, the period in which refunds and most card disputes arrive, and 10% of it is held as a reserve until day 120. For a sale paid by card, the reserve is held longer, up to day 206, because our card processor keeps its own reserve on that payment for 26 weeks and it is released to you once it has been returned to us.
