fanfix: Fanfix is a United States creator subscription platform, run by FanFix LLC of Los Angeles, on which verified creators aged 18 or over sell memberships, paid direct messages and locked posts to their own following, and on which nudity is banned by the terms of service.
Fanfix is the creator subscription platform at fanfix.io, owned by FanFix LLC of Los Angeles and acquired by SuperOrdinary in July 2022. Two other things share something close to the name, and both are worth clearing before anything else: Fanfix is not a fan fiction site and hosts no fan fiction, and it is unrelated to the various hardware and film-editing uses of the phrase. Everything below concerns the platform, every figure is dated, and where two Fanfix documents disagree the newer one is used and the disagreement is named.
What is Fanfix, and what is it used for?
Fanfix is used by a creator who already has a following somewhere else to sell access to that following. The documented ways to charge are memberships with tiers, paid direct messages, locked content, prepaid memberships of three months or more, livestreams including one-to-one, one-to-one video calls, mass messaging with scheduling, promo codes, a referral programme and a clipping network.
Fanfix keeps 20% of every transaction and the creator keeps 80%, and the 20% is identical on memberships, paid DMs and locked content (Creator Terms §3.1 and §3.2, checked 20 September 2026). One detail surprises people — Fanfix sets subscription prices at its sole discretion, and a creator may request a change rather than set the price. No numeric price range is published in the current terms, so any guide quoting one is quoting something older than the document.

Is Fanfix a fan fiction site? It is not.
Fanfix is not a fan fiction site, does not host fan fiction, and has no connection to any fan fiction archive. It is a payment and membership platform for creators who bring their own audience — the only writing on it is whatever a creator chooses to post to their own subscribers. The names look similar, which is the whole reason this paragraph exists.
The confusion has a practical cost, because a creator researching where to publish can end up reading about the wrong thing entirely and never reach the terms that would have decided it. If you have landed here looking for stories, this is the wrong page, and nothing further down will help.
Who owns Fanfix and where is it based?
Fanfix is owned by SuperOrdinary, which acquired it in July 2022. FanFix LLC is registered in Los Angeles, California. It was founded by Harry Gestetner and Simon Pompan, later joined by Cameron Dallas; Dylan Harari is the Fanfix chief executive and Julian Reis founded SuperOrdinary (Wikipedia, checked 20 September 2026).
The acquisition price is the one figure to treat carefully. Crunchbase has been quoted at $65M, while the founders would only say eight figures (Observer, June 2023). Those two are not the same claim, and no page should present either as settled. Fanfix also bought Sunroom on 14 August 2025 — which matters mainly because Sunroom is still listed as a live alternative on pages that have not been updated since.
What does Fanfix ban?
Fanfix bans nudity. The operative clause is the terms of service section headed No Nudity or other Prohibited Content, updated 20 August 2026, which is later than and takes precedence over the separately published Content Guidelines (terms of service, checked 20 September 2026). In its own words Fanfix is a strictly safe-for-work platform, designed for verified creators who want to share exclusive content in a brand-friendly environment.
Enforcement is partly automated. Fanfix has run AI content moderation since 8 December 2025 with a flow for requesting a human review, its Creator Terms let it withhold earnings at its sole discretion, and the Content Guidelines say creators and external agencies alike can be permanently blacklisted. The consequences of crossing the content line are set out on whether Fanfix is safe for creators, and the policy gap against the obvious alternative is the substance of Fanfix compared with OnlyFans.
How does Fanfix pay creators?
Fanfix pays creators from a balance held inside Fanfix, on a cadence the creator chooses: weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, to a linked bank account. Pending funds clear in about five days. Tax information and a bank account must both be in place before withdrawals unlock, although earnings accrue in the account before that setup is done (payouts setup guide, checked 20 September 2026).
That system is new, which is why so much published advice about it is wrong. Fanfix rebuilt payouts in-house in May 2026, and the older descriptions still circulating — Wednesday payment runs deposited on Friday, or payment 30 days after month end — both predate the rebuild and one of them is in Fanfix’s own Creator Terms (payouts infrastructure announcement, checked 20 September 2026).
Geography is the open question. The FAQ, in wording that predates the May 2026 system, says United States and United Kingdom creators receive payouts through Stripe and that creators elsewhere should contact support, while the May 2026 announcement widens this to many more countries where a creator has a supported bank account, a phrase Fanfix never defines. Fanfix’s own setup guide now shows Airwallex sending the payouts (payouts setup guide, Step 1 screenshot, checked 21 September 2026). No supported-country list is published anywhere, so a creator outside those two countries has one reliable move, which is to write to hello@fanfix.io and keep the reply.
How big is Fanfix, and whose numbers are those?
Fanfix announced $300M paid out to creators on 17 June 2026, alongside a claim of more than 63 million users. Both figures come from the platform and its owner rather than from an independent count, which is worth stating because Fanfix’s own three published numbers disagree with each other: fanfix.io still displayed $250M when checked on 20 September 2026, and the FAQ says over 15 million users.
So the honest version of the size question is that the most recent platform-side figure is $300M as of 17 June 2026, and that the platform has not reconciled its own published numbers. No median or typical creator income is published by Fanfix or by any publication reachable on 20 September 2026, which is why how much Fanfix creators make answers that question by showing the three sourced figures and stopping there.
