✓Quick Takeaways
- A tip menu lists custom services and prices. A content menu shows what's on your feed. They're different things.
- Start with 5-6 items max. If fans need to scroll, your menu is too long.
- Custom content should cost 2-3x your pre-made content. That's the baseline.
- The highest-earning creators we manage don't use fixed-price menus. They price each fan individually.
- Fans tip $5 minimum by card, $1 from their wallet. New accounts cap at $100 per transaction for 4 months.
- Simple text menus convert just as well as designed templates. Don't overthink the graphics.
- The #1 pricing mistake: charging too little. A 30-minute custom video for $100 leaves hundreds on the table.
You spent an hour in Canva picking colors for your tip menu. Listed every service, priced everything at what felt fair, pinned it to your page, and set it as your welcome message. Then nothing happened. Or worse — fans saw your $15 starting rate and decided that's all you're worth. The fan who would've dropped $500 on a custom now knows your floor price. I've watched this play out across hundreds of accounts at B9. Most tip menu advice tells you to list every service at a fixed price and make it look pretty. That advice is costing creators real money. This guide covers everything about OnlyFans menus — what to include, how to price, and free templates you can grab today. But I'm also going to tell you something most guides won't: the highest-earning creators we manage don't use traditional tip menus at all.
What Is an OnlyFans Tip Menu (And Do You Actually Need One)?
An OnlyFans tip menu is a pinned post on your page listing custom services and prices. Fans browse, pick what they want, and tip the listed amount. But there are two types of menus on OnlyFans, and most guides blur them together. A tip menu lists services you create on request — customs, dick ratings, sexting. A content menu organizes content already on your feed. Most people searching "OnlyFans menu" want the first one. That's what this guide covers. So do you actually need a tip menu? Honest answer: it depends. If you're a beginner, a menu gives fans a quick way to see what's available. They land on your page, see the pinned menu, and know what to buy. An OnlyFans menu for beginners doesn't need to be complicated — 5-6 items with clear prices is all you need to start. But here's what most guides won't tell you. The most upvoted tip menu advice on Reddit — 347 upvotes, 97% approval — says to ditch fixed-price menus entirely. The logic? Fixed prices show your lowest rate to your biggest spenders. The fan who'd happily drop $500 sees your $15 starting price and anchors there. I agree with that take. At B9, we don't use traditional tip menus for managed creators. We set minimums per content type and let chatters price each fan based on spending history. But if you're solo without a chatting team, a menu is solid training wheels. Just know it's a starting point — not the destination.
This guide covers tip menus — service lists with prices for custom requests. If you want to organize your existing feed, that's a content menu and works differently.
| Menu Type | What It Is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Tip menu | Custom services you create on request — fans tip to order | Dick rating $10, Custom video $25/min, Sexting $50/hr |
| Content menu | Catalog of content already on your feed | Solo photos, Workout clips, Behind-the-scenes |
Most people searching 'OnlyFans menu' want a tip menu.
What to Put on Your OnlyFans Menu: Items That Actually Sell
I've managed pricing across enough accounts to know what moves. Here are the best OnlyFans menu ideas with real price ranges — not made-up examples, but what we actually see across managed accounts. The items that bring in the most money? Customs — and not the $5 ones. The $100+ per minute custom videos where a fan spells out exactly what they want. Dick ratings are the most requested single item though. We wrote a complete guide to dick ratings with pricing scripts if you want the full breakdown. Here's what each tier looks like with tip menu examples at every level.
Fitness creators
Workout plan customs, progress accountability check-ins, gym outfit requests, sweat-session videos.
Cosplay creators
Character-specific photo sets, cosplay request customs, behind-the-scenes transformation content.
Couples
Couple customs, solo content from either partner, date night videos, his-and-hers requests.
Start with 5-6 items. Include customs, dick ratings, sexting, and one premium option like GFE or video calls. Add 'DM for anything not listed' at the bottom.
| Menu Item | Beginner | Mid-Tier | Top Creator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom photo (single) | $5-10 | $15-25 | $50-100 |
| Custom photo set (5-8) | $15-30 | $50-80 | $100-200 |
| Custom video (per min) | $5-10/min | $15-30/min | $50-100/min |
| Dick rating (text) | $5-10 | $10-25 | $25-50 |
| Dick rating (video) | $10-20 | $25-50 | $50-100 |
| Sexting (30 min) | $15-30 | $30-75 | $75-150 |
| GFE (per day) | $25-50 | $50-150 | $200-500 |
| Video call (per min) | $2-5/min | $5-10/min | $10-20/min |
| Voice message | $5-10 | $10-20 | $20-50 |
| Worn items + shipping | $30-50 | $50-80 | $80-150+ |
Ranges based on B9 managed creator data. Niche, audience size, and content quality all affect what you can charge.
How to Price Your OnlyFans Menu Items
Here's what most guides get wrong: they hand you a price list and move on. But the price you set isn't just a number — it's a signal. And the wrong signal costs real money. I manage chatting teams that handle thousands of DMs per month. The single biggest mistake I see? Creators charging way too little for customs. For the full breakdown on subscriptions, PPV, and custom pricing, check our OnlyFans pricing guide.
Custom content costs 2-3x pre-made
If you sell a pre-made photo set for $20, a custom set starts at $40-60 minimum. The fan is getting something made just for them — that carries a premium.
Set minimums, not fixed prices
We set floors — minimum per body part shown, per minute, per content type. Chatters never go below the floor but go above it whenever a fan's spending history says they'll pay more.
Start high, adjust down
You can always offer a discount. You can't raise a price on someone who already knows your rate. This is the most repeated advice on creator forums — and it's correct.
“A 30-minute custom video for $100? That's just absurd. That's $3 per minute for content that takes real time and energy to make. Our minimum for that kind of request would be ten times higher.”
— Martin, B9 Agency
The Pricing Strategy Most Guides Won't Tell You
Every tip menu guide shows you prices. None explain why those numbers work — or why the highest earners skip fixed prices entirely. The creators on our roster pulling the most revenue don't have public menus. Their chatters evaluate each fan individually and price based on spending patterns. One fan pays $200 for a custom. Another pays $1,200 for the exact same thing. See our revenue breakdown for the full picture. You don't need a chatting team to use these principles. Here's how pricing psychology works on menus.
Anchor with your most expensive item first
Put the $500 GFE at the top. Everything below it looks like a bargain. Anchoring works in every industry — restaurants do this with wine lists.
Use odd pricing
$19 feels cheaper than $20. $49 beats $50. Human brains read left to right and anchor on the first digit. One dollar difference, but it shifts the whole perception.
Offer 3 tiers for popular items
Text dick rating $10, detailed rating $25, video rating $50. Most fans pick the middle — which is exactly where you want your best margin.
Bundle for bigger orders
Custom video + 3 bonus photos at a combined price beats selling separately. Bundles raise average order value and make fans feel they're getting a deal.
4 customs at $100 each with a fixed menu
same 4 customs at $300 avg with dynamic pricing

Free OnlyFans Menu Templates (And How to Make Your Own)
Everyone wants a pretty template. That's fine — a clean menu looks professional. But a simple text post with zero graphics works just as well. The most upvoted template advice on Reddit (332 upvotes) says it straight: a text-only menu is "absolutely valid and possibly even better." Overdesigned menus feel corporate. Fans aren't here for a brand experience — they're here for you.
Canva (free)
Search 'tip menu' or 'price list' in templates. Customize colors, fonts, and items. Free tier handles everything you need.
Pinterest (free)
Search 'OnlyFans tip menu template' for visual ideas. Don't copy directly — use them as starting points.
Etsy ($5-30)
Pre-made templates that look polished. Worth it if design isn't your thing and you want something ready in 5 minutes.
8% of men have some form of color blindness. Skip red-green combos and bright text on bright backgrounds. High contrast means more fans can read your menu — which means more orders.
Open Canva and pick a clean template
Search 'menu' or 'price list.' Go minimal — no neon backgrounds, no busy patterns.
Add your 5-6 menu items with prices
Service name on the left, price on the right. One line per item. That's it.
Match your brand colors
Use colors from your OnlyFans page and socials. Consistency helps fans recognize your brand.
Download as PNG and pin to your page
Upload as a post, then pin it. Should be the first thing subscribers see on your profile.
Where to Display Your Menu (So Fans Actually See It)
The #1 complaint I hear: "Fans don't read my menu even though it's pinned." If that's you, the problem isn't your fans — it's that the menu only shows up in one place.
If fans still don't read it, that's normal. Most won't. The menu exists so YOU can reference it quickly — 'check my pinned post' is a one-line redirect that saves you from retyping prices in every DM.
Pin it to your profile
The basics. Pin your menu post so it's the first thing fans see on your page.
Set it as your welcome message
Every new subscriber gets it automatically. Settings, then Welcome Message, then paste a summary with your prices.
Mention it in your bio
Add a line like 'Custom pricing pinned to my page' or 'Check my pinned post for menu.' If your bio needs work, our guide on how to write a bio that converts covers exactly what to include.
Reference it in DMs
When fans ask what you offer, send them to the menu instead of retyping: 'Check my pinned post — customs and prices are all there.'
Drop reminders in regular posts
Once a week, mention it. 'New here? Custom pricing is pinned to my page.' Keeps it visible for fans who missed the welcome message.
How Tipping Actually Works on OnlyFans
This is the section no other guide covers. Understanding how tipping works from the subscriber side helps you price smarter and avoid awkward situations. Per the OnlyFans Terms of Service, the platform takes 20% of all transactions including tips. A $100 tip means $80 in your pocket. In 2024, OnlyFans processed $7.2 billion in gross revenue — with $5.8 billion paid out to creators after that 20% cut.
Tips are not custom orders
A fan tipping $20 doesn't earn them a request. Tips are appreciation — like tipping a waitress. Set this boundary early: 'Tips without a prior DM are treated as gifts.'
Confirm orders BEFORE they tip
Have fans message you first, agree on price and details, then send the tip. This stops the 'I tipped so where's my custom' problem cold.
New fan tip caps affect your menu
New subscribers max out at $100 per transaction for 4 months. If your premium GFE is $150, they need two tips — or just handle it through DMs instead.
Put this on your menu, bio, and welcome message: 'Please DM before tipping for customs. Tips sent without discussion are considered gifts.' One line prevents most tip arguments.
| Tipping Detail | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Minimum tip (credit card) | $5 |
| Minimum tip (OF wallet) | $1 |
| New account cap (first 4 months) | $100 per transaction |
| After 4 months | $200 per transaction |
| Platform cut | 20% — you keep 80% |
| Non-subscribers tipping? | Only on free pages or during live streams |
These limits directly affect what you can put on your menu.
5 Tip Menu Mistakes That Kill Your Revenue
I've reviewed hundreds of menus from creators applying to work with us. These mistakes show up constantly — and they're all fixable. The biggest one is pricing. It's exactly what professional chatters handle for managed accounts, and the gap between DIY pricing and agency pricing is where most revenue gets left behind.
- Pricing customs too low — $100 for a 30-minute custom is $3/min. You'd earn more at most regular jobs. Start 2-3x higher than your gut tells you.
- Listing 15+ items — if fans need to scroll, they lose interest. Cap at 6 items and add 'DM for anything else' at the bottom.
- Overdesigned graphics — 8% of men are color blind. Neon text on bright backgrounds is unreadable for lots of fans. Simple and high-contrast wins every time.
- Never updating prices — what you charged at 100 subscribers is underpriced at 1,000. If orders are flooding in, your rates need to go up.
- Overthinking before launching — posting 3, 4, 5 drafts asking for feedback before you've started promoting. Ship the menu now. Adjust later based on what actually sells.
Live Stream Tip Menus: How They Work Differently
Live stream menus aren't the same as profile tip menus. During a stream, you're selling real-time actions — things you'll do on camera right now for tips. If you stream regularly, make a separate menu just for live sessions. Keep it to 3-4 actions with flat prices. Pin it in chat or show it on screen.
Think of streaming as a relationship tool. The real money comes when stream regulars convert into custom buyers. Your stream menu gets them in the door — your DM pricing closes the deal.
✓Pros
- Real-time engagement — fans tip to see something happen live
- Tip goals create urgency and excitement in the chat
- Feels spontaneous and personal, driving higher per-session spending
- Builds loyalty through direct interaction that DMs can't replicate
✕Cons
- Less predictable income than custom orders via DMs
- Fans make on-the-fly requests — harder to control scope and pricing
- Need firm boundaries set BEFORE going live
- Requires confidence handling live requests without hesitation
Mistakes to Avoid
✕ Pricing customs too low
A 30-minute custom video for $100 is $3 per minute. You wouldn't freelance for that rate. Start higher than you think — you can always offer a discount, but you can't raise a price on someone who already knows your floor.
✕ Listing 15+ menu items
If fans need to scroll your menu, it's way too long. Stick to 5-6 items and add 'DM for anything not listed' at the bottom. A restaurant with 200 dishes is confusing — same rule applies here.
✕ Overdesigned graphics nobody can read
Bright text on bright backgrounds, tiny fonts, neon everything. 8% of men have some form of color blindness. High contrast and readable fonts beat a pretty design that nobody can parse.
✕ Never updating your prices
What worked at 100 subscribers shouldn't be the same at 1,000. Your prices should grow with your audience. If you're overwhelmed with orders, your prices are too low.
✕ Overthinking before you even start
Posting 3, 4, 5 drafts asking for feedback before you've even started promoting. Your first menu doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to exist. Ship it and adjust based on what actually sells.
Frequently Asked Questions
Summary
Your tip menu is a starting point, not the end goal. It gives new fans a clear picture of what you offer and what it costs — and that alone puts you ahead of most creators who wing it. But the real earnings jump happens when you move past fixed prices. Learn what each fan will pay and price from there. The creators earning the most on our roster don't have a public price list — their chatters handle every request one-on-one. Start with a simple menu. 5-6 items, honest prices, pinned to your page. As you grow, try dynamic pricing for your biggest spenders. And if you want a team handling all of this — our chatting strategy guide shows exactly how that works.
