How Subscriptions Work

A subscription gives you ongoing access to a creator's exclusive content — posts, photos, videos, audio, and (depending on the creator) stream recordings or DM access.

Subscribing

  1. Go to the creator's profile.
  2. Tap Subscribe.
  3. Choose monthly or annual (if the creator offers annual).
  4. Confirm with FanBucks.

You're billed in FanBucks the moment you subscribe. The subscription is active immediately and you have access to the entire subscriber-only feed.

Monthly vs annual

  • Monthly — you pay every 30 days, automatically.
  • Annual — you pay once for 365 days, usually at a meaningful discount per month.

For a side-by-side comparison, see Monthly vs Annual Subscriptions.

What you get

The creator decides exactly what's behind the subscription paywall, but typically:

  • All subscriber-only posts — past, present, and future.
  • Direct messages with the creator (if they have DMs open).
  • Subscriber-priced PPV content (sometimes discounted vs. non-subscribers).
  • Subscriber-only live streams when the creator runs them.

Auto-renewal

By default, all subscriptions auto-renew. The renewal date is set to exactly one month (or one year for annual) after your last payment. We charge your FanBucks balance automatically; if you don't have enough FanBucks, we'll attempt to charge your default card.

To turn off auto-renewal:

  1. Go to the creator's profile.
  2. Tap the Subscription button (says "Subscribed").
  3. Tap Cancel auto-renewal or Manage subscription.

You'll keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. After that, it expires and the creator's content is locked again until you re-subscribe. See What Happens After You Cancel.

Free trials and free subscriptions

Some creators offer:

  • Free trials — 3, 7, 14, or 30 days of free access. After the trial, you're charged automatically unless you cancel before it ends.
  • Free subscriptions — fully free access to the subscriber feed. Creators monetize through tips and PPV instead.

See Free Trials and Promotional Subscriptions.

Refunds

Subscriptions are non-refundable in cash, but you can dispute any individual transaction from the wallet. If we approve the dispute, the refund is issued as a FanBucks credit. See Fansit's Refund Policy.
