Key result
In the OnlyLookup catalog snapshot of 3 November 2026, 67.5% of 13,200 live account records were listed with a paid subscription mode and 32.5% with a free mode. These figures describe the subscription type stored in our catalog. They do not describe the whole OnlyFans platform, and they do not confirm what each account offers today.
This study does not measure subscription prices in dollars or any other currency. It also does not measure free trial availability or how prices change over time. The section What this study does not measure explains why.
Sample and date
- Snapshot: 3 November 2026, 22:06:10 UTC, read-only from the OnlyLookup catalog database.
- Sample: 13,200 unique catalog accounts with status "live". One account is not one person.
- Scope: public accounts listed in OnlyLookup, not a sample of the whole platform.
Key findings
Each finding is a separate statement with its own ID, so you can cite it on its own. The claim ledger maps every ID to its numerator, denominator and source cell.
- C01. The OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026 counts 13,200 unique accounts with live status; these are catalog records, not a count of people or of the whole platform.
- C02. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, 4,286 of 13,200 live accounts (32.5%) were listed with a free subscription mode; this is the stored catalog classification, not a check of the current offer.
- C03. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, 8,910 of 13,200 live accounts (67.5%) were listed with a paid subscription mode; this figure does not measure subscription amounts or currency.
- C04. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, 13,183 of 13,200 live accounts (99.9%) had a non-empty stored bio, counted after trimming the U+0020 space character.
- C05. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, the public bio field was non-empty for 12,902 of 13,200 live accounts (97.7%); this measures whether the field is filled, not an audit of the text shown on each page.
- C06. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, the 12,902 non-empty public bios had a mean length of 337.6 Unicode code points after trimming U+0020; no additional HTML cleanup was applied.
- C07. In the OnlyLookup snapshot of 3 November 2026, the active tag "cosplay" was attached to 810 of 13,200 live accounts (6.1%); tags overlap and do not define separate groups.
Free vs paid accounts in the catalog
| Subscription mode (stored in catalog) | Accounts | Share of 13,200 live accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Paid | 8,910 | 67.5% |
| Free | 4,286 | 32.5% |
| Other or unresolved modes | Withheld | Withheld (not zero) |
Free and paid together cover 13,196 of the 13,200 records. A small remainder holds other or unresolved modes, such as a trial mode or a missing value. We do not publish a breakdown of this remainder because the cells are very small. It is withheld, not zero. Because of this remainder, the unrounded shares add up to 99.97%. The rounded shares show 100.0%.
Catalog tags: an editorial selection
Tags are catalog labels. They are not verified traits of the people behind the accounts. One account can carry several tags, so the rows below overlap and must not be added up. The table is an editorial selection of ten neutral tags from the 30 most-used active tags. It is not a top-10 list or a ranking. The full set of 30 tags is in the downloadable categories.csv file.
| Tag (catalog label) | Live accounts with tag | Share of 13,200 live accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Cosplay | 810 | 6.1% |
| Blonde | 667 | 5.1% |
| Tattoo | 415 | 3.1% |
| Petite | 391 | 3.0% |
| Goth | 348 | 2.6% |
| Brunette | 327 | 2.5% |
| Redhead | 298 | 2.3% |
| Piercing | 257 | 1.9% |
| Alt | 245 | 1.9% |
| Gamer | 204 | 1.5% |
We do not publish the free or paid split for each tag. Small groups inside a tag could reveal individual accounts, so these breakdowns are withheld.
To browse accounts by topic, use the OnlyLookup catalog. It also has topic pages for cosplay, goth, gamer and redhead accounts. Counts on those pages are calculated live with the catalog's public filters, so they can differ from this fixed snapshot.
Bios in the catalog
Almost every live record has a stored bio (99.9%, C04), and the public bio field used for display is filled for 97.7% (C05). The mean public bio length of 337.6 Unicode code points (C06) is roughly a short paragraph. It describes the stored text without HTML cleanup, not the text you see on a page. We do not publish bio texts or bio statistics per tag.
What this study does not measure
- Subscription prices. The catalog stores a numeric amount but not the currency or billing period of each observation, and the source parser accepts USD, EUR and GBP symbols. A median or price bands would mix units, so we publish no price figures. "Unavailable" does not mean zero.
- Free trial availability. There is no verified record that a trial was actually on offer, so we report no free trial share.
- Price changes over time. There is no comparable price history for this snapshot.
- Earnings, tips and sales. Income, tips, pay-per-view sales and profit are not measured and should not be estimated from this study.
Methodology and limitations
- Cohort: all records with status "live" in the snapshot, with no filter by search indexing, ranking, partnership or price availability.
- Tags: the 30 active tags linked to the most live accounts, counted as distinct accounts per tag. Tags overlap.
- Bio: coverage is a non-empty value after trimming U+0020, divided by all 13,200 accounts. Length is the mean
char_lengthin Unicode code points among non-empty values only. - Rounding: shares to one decimal place; counts are exact whole numbers.
- Small cells: small mode cells, per-tag mode splits and per-tag bio figures are withheld. This lowers the risk of identifying accounts but does not guarantee anonymity.
- Representativeness: the sample covers only public accounts that reached OnlyLookup, and import sources, update timing and tagging can bias it. "Live" means published in our catalog, not confirmed active on the platform right now. We publish no confidence intervals for the platform as a whole.
