The 10 Critical Factors to Evaluate Your Next OnlyFans Management Agency
1. Track Record & Proven Results

What to Look For:
Specific revenue numbers (not just percentages)
Time frames for achieving results
Creator retention rates

2. Commission Structure & Hidden Fees
Understanding the fee structure is crucial for your long-term profitability. Qualified OnlyFans agencies typically charge between 30-45% commission, and here is what you need to know about what falls outside this range.
Commission Structure Reality Check:

Below 25% | Too Good to Be True | • Hidden fees likely • Minimal services • Outsourced low-quality chatters • No real marketing • Often scams | ❌ RIP-OFF ALERT They make money elsewhere (selling your content, hidden charges) |
25-30% | Entry Level | • Basic chat management • Simple scheduling • Limited marketing • Shared account manager | ⚠️ Only if earning <$5K/month You might outgrow quickly |
30-40% | Professional Standard | • Full service management • Dedicated team • Comprehensive marketing • Content strategy • Analytics & optimization | ✅ SWEET SPOT Best value for serious creators |
40-45% | Premium/ Specialized | • White-glove service • Celebrity management level • PR & media placements • Multiple platform management | ✅ Worth it if earning $20K+/month ROI justifies premium price |
Above 45% | Excessive | • No service justifies this • Taking advantage of creators • Same services as 35% agencies | ❌ RIP-OFF Find another agency immediately |
