Hey there! OnlyFans has become an incredibly popular platform for creators to engage with their biggest fans. However, there are many reasons you may looking to cancel your OnlyFans subscription.
In this guide, I‘ll provide expert tips on how to disable auto-renewals and unsubscribe using deskop or mobile. You‘ll also learn what causes people to quit OnlyFans, when you might want to cancel your account, and troubleshooting suggestions in case anything goes wrong.
Let‘s get started!
What is OnlyFans & How Does Membership Work?
For some background, OnlyFans launched in 2016 as a subscription content service. The founder sought to shift power and profits from traditional publishers to creators.
It‘s often compared to sites like Patreon that provide direct funding from fans to artists, musicians, influencers, and more. However, OnlyFans has faced growing controversy over adult content.
Users are split into two main buckets:
Creators
- Artists, influencers, adult entertainers, etc.
- Earn money from fan subscriptions and tips
Subscribers
- Mostly 15-30 males paying for access and interactions
- Spend average $15-20/month supporting ~2 creators
- Increased by 150M+ users during pandemic
OnlyFans keeps 20% commission on creator earnings. They operate a freemium membership model:
| Membership | Price | Perks |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Create profile, follow creators, limited social interactions |
| Fan | $5-$50/mo. | View subscriber-only content, direct messaging |
| VIP | Up to $100/mo. | Extra exclusive content and experiences |
Now let‘s get into how to cancel your OnlyFans membership. Follow along below!
Step 1 – Login to OnlyFans Account
First, pull up OnlyFans.com in your preferred browser. This works on both mobile and desktop – we‘ll cover any differences along the way.
Click the Log In link and enter your credentials from when you signed up. Here‘s what the login screen looks like on an iPhone:
Once you‘re logged in, you‘ll see your home feed with posts from creators you follow.
Step 2 – Visit Account Settings
At the bottom right on mobile or in the top menu on desktop, select your profile icon. This will show your account details.
For example, here is where it‘s located on an Android phone:
On this screen, tap or click the Account Settings link at the very bottom:
Step 3 – Locate Subscription Manager
On Account Settings page, scroll down and look for Subscription Manager on the left sidebar or further down the page.
Note: On mobile, this may be under the "Billing Info" accordion tab:
This box shows all your active OnlyFans subscriptions.
Step 4 – Disable Rebill Next to Creator
To cancel a subscription, find the creator and click/tap Disable Rebill.
This stops all future automatic rebilling once the current period runs out. So you still have access for the rest of this billing cycle.
For example:
All payments and access to that creator will be deactivated after the current expiration date shown.
Step 5 – Select Reason For Cancellation
After clicking Disable Rebill, a pop-up will ask you to share why you‘re canceling/unsubscribing.
Pick whichever option best represents your reasons:
I chose "No longer interested" here. This provides helpful feedback to OnlyFans and the creator.
Step 6 – Confirm Disable Rebill
Lastly, carefully review the confirm cancellation prompt. Double check you picked the proper subscription, as all rebilling and access will be closed after this billing period.
If everything looks correct, click Disable Rebill:
