Monthly vs Annual Subscriptions
Most creators offer both monthly and annual subscription plans. Here's how to choose.
Monthly
- Pay every 30 days.
- Cancel any time — you keep access until the end of the current month.
- No commitment.
Best if you're trying out a new creator, or you only watch them in certain seasons.
Annual
- Pay once for 365 days of access.
- Usually 15–35% cheaper per month than the monthly rate.
- Locks in the price — even if the creator raises their monthly price, your annual plan stays at the price you paid until renewal.
- Auto-renews annually unless you cancel.
Best if you're a regular subscriber to a creator and confident you'll stay subscribed for the year.
Quick math
If a creator charges:
- 600 FanBucks/month = 7,200 FanBucks/year (no discount).
- 5,400 FanBucks/year annual = saves you 1,800 FanBucks (~25% off).
Whether the annual savings are worth it depends entirely on whether you'll actually stay subscribed for 12 months.
What happens at renewal
For both plans, the renewal date is exactly one period after the last payment. We charge automatically.
- For annual subs, you'll get a renewal reminder by email 7 days before the charge. That gives you a window to cancel without losing access.
- For monthly subs, you can cancel any time before renewal — no advance notice needed.
Switching between monthly and annual
- Monthly to annual — cancel auto-renewal on your monthly sub, wait for it to expire (or expire it manually), then resubscribe with the annual plan.
- Annual to monthly — cancel auto-renewal, wait for the annual term to end, resubscribe monthly.
We don't currently support mid-period plan switches. (Working on it.)
Refund window for annual plans
Annual plans aren't refundable in cash, but you can dispute the transaction from your wallet within 30 days of purchase. If we approve, the refund is issued as a FanBucks credit. See Fansit's Refund Policy.
