✓Quick Takeaways
- OnlyFans management comes in three models: chat-only, partial, and full-service — each with different pricing and scope
- Lower percentage doesn't mean better deal — it means fewer people and less service on your account
- Full-service agencies run 10-20 people per creator, which is why they cost more than chat-only
- Chatting is the #1 revenue driver, followed by pricing optimization, then social media growth
- The best way to evaluate management pricing is by net income after the agency scales your page, not by the percentage alone
Every creator I talk to asks the same thing — why does one agency charge 30% and another charges 70%? They assume the cheaper option is the better deal. And almost every time, they're wrong. The percentage tells you nothing about what you're actually getting. I've watched creators leave full-service agencies for cheaper options and lose half their revenue within a month. In this guide, I'm breaking down the three OnlyFans management models — what each one includes, what it costs, and which one actually puts more money in your pocket.
Why OnlyFans Management Pricing Confuses Everyone
The OnlyFans management industry has zero standardization. With 4.6 million creators on the platform and the industry processing over $7 billion a year, it's no surprise pricing is all over the place. One agency charges 25%, another charges 75%, and they both call themselves 'full-service.' No wonder creators have no idea what a fair OnlyFans agency cost looks like. Here's what you need to understand before comparing any pricing — and why everything starts with how much you can realistically earn.
Agencies price based on workload, not greed
Running 10-20 people per creator — chatters, social media managers, editors, analysts, safety staff — costs real money. The percentage pays for infrastructure.
Lower percentage always means fewer people
An agency charging 30% can afford maybe 2-3 people on your account. That's someone doing DMs and maybe posting. It's not a growth engine.
Net income matters, not percentage
30% of $5,000 leaves you $3,500. But 60% of $20,000 leaves you $8,000. The creator who pays more in percentage keeps more in cash.
Never compare OnlyFans management companies by percentage alone. Compare them by what your net income will be after their team scales your page.

Chat-Only Management
This is the lightest option. The agency handles your DMs and nothing else. It's the lowest cost, but it comes with serious limits. For more on what chatting actually involves, read our complete chatting services guide.
What's included
The agency responds to DMs, sends PPV messages, handles subscriber conversations, and manages renewals. Some agencies add basic mass messaging.
What's not included
No social media posting. No content editing. No pricing strategy. No growth engine. No analytics beyond basic revenue tracking. No safety or DMCA work.
Who this fits
Creators who already have strong traffic from their own social media and just need help keeping up with messages. You're still running 60-70% of the business yourself.
Chat-only pricing depends on your subscriber volume and quality. High-traffic creators get different rates than someone with 50 subscribers.
Partial Management
The middle ground. You keep running one of your traffic sources — usually Instagram or TikTok — while the agency handles chatting, content operations, and the rest of your growth.
What's included
Everything from chat-only plus content editing, some platform posting, pricing optimization, and basic analytics. The agency runs most operations while you focus on one traffic channel.
Your responsibility
You're still manually posting on at least one platform, engaging with your audience there, and creating traffic yourself. More involvement than full-service, but less than doing everything alone.
The trade-off
Lower cost than full-service because you're doing part of the work. But growth is slower since the agency can't optimize a channel they don't control.
Partial management works best when you're already strong on one platform — like Instagram or TikTok — and want the agency to handle everything else.
Full-Service Management
This is the model that drives the biggest results. The agency runs your entire operation — chatting, social media across 5-7 platforms, content editing, pricing, analytics, and safety. You only produce raw content and help with creative direction.
What's included
24/7 chatting optimized for tipping and relationships, multi-platform social media (Reddit, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), content editing and packaging, dynamic pricing with PPV ladders and funnels, daily analytics dashboards, DMCA takedowns, collaborator release forms, and brand direction.
Your only job
Produce content and help with content ideas. That's it. The agency handles 90%+ of daily operations. Some weeks you might spend 5-10 hours total.
Why it costs more
Because 10-20 people are employed specifically for your page. Chatters work in shifts. Social media managers post daily across platforms. Editors process your content. Analysts track performance. Safety staff run leak sweeps. That's real payroll — and it's why OnlyFans talent management at this level costs what it does.
If an agency claims full-service at 30%, ask how many people work on your account. If the answer is 2-3, it's not full-service — it's chat-only with a marketing label.
“At least 10 to 15 people work on a single creator's page. Chatting, social media, content editing, pricing, analytics, safety — all running at the same time. That's what full-service actually means.”
— Martin, B9 Agency
Side-by-Side: Chat-Only vs Partial vs Full-Service
Here's what you actually get at each service level. This is based on industry standards and what we see across agencies — not just B9.
The verdict
Chat-only saves money upfront but limits your ceiling. Partial works if you're strong on one platform and want to stay involved. Full-service delivers the highest net income for creators who want to focus entirely on content.
The right model depends on your current revenue, your growth goals, and how much of the business you want to run yourself.
| Feature | Chat-Only | Partial | Full-Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| DM chatting | Yes | Yes | 24/7 strategic |
| Social media | None | You run 1+ platform | Agency runs 5-7 platforms |
| Content editing | None | Basic | Full production |
| Pricing optimization | None | Limited | Dynamic PPV ladders and funnels |
| Analytics | Basic reports | Weekly reports | Daily dashboards |
| Safety and DMCA | None | Limited | Full leak sweeps and geo-blocks |
| Creator workload | 60-70% | 40-50% | 10-20% |
| Team per creator | 2-3 people | 4-6 people | 10-20 people |
| Paid ads capability | None | None | Can invest $10K+ for 3x returns |

Why Cheap Management Always Costs You More
I get it — 70% sounds like a lot. But let me explain what actually happens when you pick the cheapest agency, and what most creators don't realize about choosing the right agency.
The burnout trap
The biggest hidden cost of self-managing is your mental health. Most creators who cross $10K per month on their own burn out within six months. And if you're at $10K purely from subscriptions with no chatting — that's a massive waste. You could give 40-50% to an agency, add chatting, and turn that $10K into $20K+.
Paid ads need real investment
Full-service agencies can run paid advertising for you — spending $10K per month on ads to generate $30K in revenue. But if you're not giving the agency a fair percentage, they can't afford to invest in your growth.
Relationship revenue beats PPV blasts
Our chatting approach isn't just sending mass PPV messages. We build personalized relationships with fans. The goal is to get subscribers tipping because they genuinely like the creator — not because they got a mass message. That takes skilled chatters working in shifts.
If you're making $10K+ per month and managing everything yourself, you're leaving money on the table and risking burnout. A chatting team alone could double your revenue.
✓Pros
- 10-20 person team dedicated to growing your page
- Budget for paid advertising — $10K ad spend can return $30K in revenue
- Revenue from relationship-based fan tipping, not just PPV blasts
- Burnout prevention — you only create content, nothing else
✕Cons
- 2-3 people can't run chatting, social media, content, and analytics
- No budget for paid traffic or growth experiments at low percentages
- You still do most of the work yourself with cheap agencies
- Mental health deteriorates once you cross $10K/month solo
The 4-Step Decision: Which Model Fits You?
There's no universal answer. The right model depends on where you are right now and where you want to go. Always read the OnlyFans management contract before signing. If you're not sure what a manager actually does day-to-day, read our OnlyFans manager guide first. Here's how I'd think through the decision — and what we look for when evaluating creators for agency management.
Pricing is always tailored. The percentage depends on your situation, audience size, content type, and growth goals. No legitimate agency gives a flat rate to everyone.
Check your current revenue
If you're under $5K per month, you either need to grow first or find an agency willing to invest upfront. We only take creators we believe can hit $50K-$100K+ monthly — because that's where the team investment pays off for both sides.
Decide how much you want to work
If you want to only create content and nothing else, full-service is the only option. If you enjoy running your Instagram or TikTok and want to stay hands-on, partial management keeps you involved at a lower cost.
Evaluate your traffic sources
If you're already strong on one platform and consistently driving subscribers, partial might be enough. If you need help across all platforms, full-service gives you a team on every channel.
Get on a call for tailored pricing
Every creator's pricing is different because every creator's workload is different. Subscriber volume, content type, platforms, growth potential — it all factors in. The only way to know your exact rate is to talk to the agency directly.
Mini Case Study: From Solo to Scaled
Creator: Creators at different stages — beginners, mid-tier, and influencers
Situation: Three creators at different revenue levels joined B9 full-service management. One was brand new, one earned $1,200/month, and one earned $8,500/month with an existing audience.
Action: Full-service deployment: 24/7 chatting team, multi-platform social media, content operations, and dynamic pricing systems.
Result: Beginner: $0 to $2,800 in 30 days from systems alone. Mid-tier: $1,200 to $12,400 in 90 days (10.3x growth). Influencer: $8,500 to $21,700 in 60 days with 70% less personal workload.
Mistakes to Avoid
✕ Choosing an agency based on lowest percentage
A 30% fee means the agency can afford 2-3 people at most. You can't run chatting, social media, content editing, and analytics with that budget. You'll get chat-only service labeled as full-service.
✕ Expecting full-service results from chat-only pricing
If you want growth across Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, and X — plus professional chatting, content editing, and analytics — that requires a team of 10+ people. Chat-only pricing won't cover it.
✕ Self-managing past $10K per month
The mental and time cost of running everything yourself becomes unsustainable. Most solo creators either burn out or plateau at this level. A management team can double your revenue while cutting your workload by 80%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Summary
OnlyFans management pricing comes down to three models — chat-only, partial, and full-service — and the right choice depends on your revenue, goals, and how much you want to work. The key takeaway is this: cheaper agencies employ fewer people, deliver fewer services, and produce less growth. Creators who focus on net income instead of percentage almost always come out ahead with full-service management. If you're making $5K+ monthly and spending your time on DMs instead of creating, get on a call with a real agency and see what tailored pricing looks like for your situation.
