FansDirect is the independent review platform for fan sites and creators in the Netherlands. Whether you're a creator who wants to get started, a fan who wants to know where their favorite model is active, or just curious about this growing phenomenon: here you'll find honest information, no detours.
Because let's be honest: the internet is full of vague reviews, outdated price lists and dubious "independent" comparisons that somehow always recommend the same sponsor. That can be better. We do it better.
Who we are
FansDirect is an initiative of Tonnaer Media B.V., an independent media company based in the innovative heart of Eindhoven. With more than 15 years of experience in internet marketing and search engine optimisation, we have built up deep insight into how digital ecosystems work. Our mission is not to recruit but to inform: with valuable, factual content that genuinely helps you move forward.
We review and compare fan subscription platforms like OnlyFans, Fansly, Friends2Follow, FanCentro, Fanvue, LoyalFans, KNKY and MYM. We look at reliability, payout policy, ease of use and, importantly, how fairly a platform treats both creators and fans.
We keep a close eye on the Dutch market. What works for an American isn't necessarily the best choice for a Dutch creator. Local context matters.
Known for, among other things
Our editorial team
At FansDirect we believe transparency is the foundation of trust. In a fast-growing market full of new platforms and business models, it's essential to know who's providing the information and which standards they follow. We're not an anonymous platform. We're an editorial team of specialists with a real passion for the creator economy. Read more on our editorial page.

Our methodology
Every review on FansDirect is based on a mix of our own research, user experiences and public platform data. We use a fixed review structure so platforms can be compared fairly, and a higher affiliate commission never earns a better score. Wherever possible we test platforms with our own accounts and our own payments, and we update our reviews whenever a platform makes a meaningful change to its policy.
In the interest of transparency: FansDirect uses affiliate links. If you create an account on a platform through our site, we sometimes receive a commission. This has no influence on our scores or editorial opinions. A platform with a bad reputation won't get a recommendation from us, affiliate deal or not. That's why Fanvue is listed as not recommended, even though an affiliate programme is available.
“We write what we ourselves would want to know before signing up for anything.” Famke Valentina, editor-in-chief FansDirect
