Most platforms advertise their cut but don't mention that processing fees come out of your pocket on top. Here's what you actually pocket on a $1,000 sale:
OnlyFans / Fansly — 20% cut — you keep $800
Patreon — 8–12% + processing — you keep ~$850
Gumroad — 10% + processing fees — you keep ~$870
CreatorLink — 10%, they cover processing — you keep $900
That last one I hadn't heard of before. Apparently they're also running some early creator deal where if you sign up and make a sale before May 1st you lock in 5% for life — so $950 on that same sale. No idea how long they've been around but the fee structure is genuinely different from everything else I looked at.
Anyone here using CreatorLink or something similar? Curious if the payout actually works as advertised.
