✓Quick Takeaways
- Don't choose an agency based on percentage — it should be the last thing you compare.
- Apply to 3-5 agencies and get on calls with each before deciding.
- Ask about niche experience — every niche needs different strategies and talent.
- Check chatting quality: response times, upsell ratios, and team vetting processes.
- If your current agency isn't delivering results, leave — contracts don't matter if they're not performing.
Most creators pick an agency based on one number: the percentage. 30% sounds better than 60%, right? That logic is exactly how you end up with two random people copy-pasting messages to your fans while your page slowly dies. I've watched creators come to B9 after months with agencies that promised the world and delivered nothing — no systems, amateur chatting, zero marketing, just excuses and a monthly bill. The best OnlyFans agency isn't the cheapest one. It's the one that fits your niche, has real processes, and can prove it on a call. Here's how to find it — and what to run from.
Stop Choosing an Agency Based on Percentage
I keep saying this and I'll say it again — percentage should be the last thing you look at when choosing an OnlyFans management company. A 30% agency with no systems will cost you more than a 60% agency that doubles your revenue. According to MBO Partners' Creator Economy Report, 41% of creators struggle with burnout — which is why picking the right agency matters so much. For a sustainable approach to growing your page, see our burnout prevention guide. With the platform processing over $7 billion in gross revenue last year, here's what the numbers actually look like.
Fit matters more than price
The first thing you should evaluate is whether the agency fits your style, niche, and personality. If you don't click with the team on a call, the percentage is irrelevant — the partnership won't work.
Your niche determines who you need
Each niche requires different talent, strategies, and marketing approaches. An agency that's great with fitness creators might have zero clue how to run a cosplay page. Niche fit is non-negotiable.
Apply to 3-5 agencies and get on calls with each. You'll immediately feel which team actually knows your niche — and which ones are just reading from a script.

Full-Service vs Chat-Only: What You're Actually Paying For
Not all OnlyFans management agencies offer the same thing. There are three main types, and understanding the difference saves you from signing with a team that covers 20% of what you need. For a detailed breakdown of what each service tier costs, check our management pricing guide. And if you want to understand the four distinct manager roles that make up a real team, start there.
Chat-only works if you handle everything else
Some creators just want to offload messaging. That's fine — but you're still responsible for marketing, content scheduling, pricing, and strategy. The 30% fee reflects the limited scope.
Full-service means the agency runs your business
You create content. They handle everything else: chatting, marketing, scheduling, pricing, safety, analytics. The higher percentage pays for a full team of 6+ people working on your account daily.
A 30% agency doing only chatting isn't comparable to a 60% agency running your entire business. Compare what's included — not the number.
| Service | Chat-Only | Promo-Only | Full-Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| DM chatting & PPV | Yes | No | Yes |
| Social media marketing | No | Yes | Yes |
| Content editing & scheduling | No | No | Yes |
| Pricing & funnel strategy | No | No | Yes |
| DMCA & safety | No | No | Yes |
| Analytics & reporting | Basic | Basic | Full |
| Typical cut | 20-35% | 15-25% | 50-70% |

5 Questions That Expose Bad Agencies
If I were choosing the best agency to grow my OnlyFans in 2025, here's the process I'd follow. See our full agency guide for background.
The call is the single best evaluation tool. If you don't click with the team in 30 minutes, you won't click during 6 months of daily work together.
Check their website and content
Before you apply, look at what the agency puts out. Do they have a blog with real advice? A YouTube channel? Testimonials from actual creators? Or is it just vague marketing fluff? An agency that produces useful, specific content probably knows what they're doing.
Apply to multiple agencies
Don't settle on the first one that responds. The best OnlyFans management agency for your niche might not be the first one you find. Apply to 3-5 agencies and compare their responses. How fast do they reply? How professional is their communication? Do they ask about your niche and goals, or just your follower count?
Get on a call with each one
This is where you learn the most. A good agency will ask about your content style, niche, goals, and boundaries. A bad one will just talk about how much money they'll make you. Trust your gut — if the call feels off, the partnership will too.
Ask about their niche experience
Each niche requires completely different strategies. An agency that grew fitness creators might have no idea how to manage a cosplay page. Ask directly: have you worked with creators in my niche before? What did you do differently for them?
Dig into their chatting operation
Chatting drives most of the revenue, so this matters more than anything. Ask about their chatting team — how many chatters per creator? What's their response time? What's their upsell-to-message ratio? If they can't answer, their chatting is amateur.
Red Flags That Mean You Should Walk Away
I've seen creators stay with bad agencies for months because they signed a contract or felt stuck. Here's the truth — contracts barely matter in this industry. If an agency isn't delivering, you can and should leave.
They promise specific income numbers
No agency can guarantee you'll hit $50K/month. Can it happen? Absolutely. But any honest agency will tell you it depends on your effort too. If they throw numbers around before seeing your content — they're selling a fantasy.
Everything feels amateur
When creators switch to us, the most common complaint about their old agency is the total lack of systems. No content calendar, no chatting scripts, no marketing schedule, no reporting. Just vibes and broken promises.
Chatting quality is terrible
If fans complain about responses, messages feel generic and copy-pasted, or your chatting revenue isn't growing — the chatting team is the problem. This is the number one reason creators switch agencies.
No transparency or reporting
You should see chatting metrics, marketing activity, and revenue breakdowns daily. If your agency can't show you what they're doing — they're probably not doing much.
They restrict your account access
Your OnlyFans account is yours. Any agency that changes your password, limits your access, or controls your payout information is an instant dealbreaker — no exceptions.
Contracts don't protect bad agencies. If results are bad, you can leave. No court will enforce a deal where one side didn't perform.
“We always tell our models during onboarding: you're free to leave at any time. We know we'll bring results — and they always stay. We've never had a model leave us.”

B9's 4-Step Onboarding (Your Baseline)
The best OnlyFans management agencies all share one thing — structured onboarding. How an agency onboards you tells you exactly how they'll run your account. Here's our process at B9 — not because it's the only approach, but because structured onboarding is the minimum standard for any serious OnlyFans management company.
Ask any agency to walk you through their onboarding step by step. If they can't describe it clearly, they probably don't have one.
Team introduction and group chats
Within the first day, you meet your full team. We set up dedicated group chats: one with the co-founders and account manager, one with the chat manager and chatters, and one with the marketing manager. You talk directly to everyone — no middlemen.
Persona and branding onboarding
We learn everything about you — personality, content style, boundaries, what makes you unique. This shapes how chatters talk as you, how marketing positions your page, and what content strategy we build around your strengths.
Content upload and comfort check
You upload your content library and we review it together. We figure out what you're comfortable with, what performs best, and how to organize everything for maximum revenue across feed posts, PPV, and customs.
Launch within 1-2 weeks
From application to fully operational, we go live within one to two weeks. Some agencies take months. If onboarding drags on with no clear timeline, that's exactly how the entire partnership will feel.
Green Flags vs Red Flags: The Full List
After watching creators cycle through agencies and hearing every complaint in the book, here's what separates the top OnlyFans management agencies from the rest.
Start by applying to the top OnlyFans agencies today. Get on calls. Ask the hard questions from this guide. The right agency will welcome them — the wrong ones will dodge them.
“The best agency isn't the one with the lowest percentage. It's the one where you get on a call and think — these people actually know what they're doing.”
— Matej, B9 Agency

- Shows real processes you can evaluate before signing
- Chatting team with proven ratios and fast response times
- Full transparency with daily metrics and reporting
- Month-to-month — confident enough they don't need lock-in contracts

Mistakes to Avoid
✕ Choosing based on percentage alone
A 30% agency with no systems will cost you more long-term than a 60% agency that doubles your revenue. Compare what's included, not the number.
✕ Staying with an underperforming agency because of a contract
Contracts barely matter in this industry. If your agency isn't delivering results after a reasonable period, you can and should leave.
✕ Not asking about niche experience during evaluation
An agency that grew fitness creators might completely fail with cosplay. Always ask if they've managed creators in your specific niche before signing.
