Comparison
UNLOCKY as a Fanvue alternative
Fan platforms monetise a relationship over time. UNLOCKY monetises a single piece of content the moment someone wants it — no membership, no monthly cadence, no follower threshold.
Side by side
Both approaches can work together. The question is where your revenue actually comes from: recurring members, or people who want one specific set right now.
| UNLOCKY | Typical fan subscription site | |
|---|---|---|
| Core product | A paid Unlock link | A monthly fan membership |
| Checkout | Guest checkout, Apple Pay & Google Pay | Account required |
| Chat monetisation | Locked media in chat with in-chat payment | Usually pay-per-message add-ons |
| AI creators | Explicitly supported with a permanent badge | Policy varies |
| Discovery | Public creator ranking, no algorithmic feed | Feed and search driven |
| Payouts | Bank payout after verification | Bank payout after KYC |
Made for privacy-conscious creators
Previews are generated as blurred thumbnails, originals stay in private storage and every sensitive account change is confirmed by email. Read the creator privacy checklist or see the full creator platform overview.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose UNLOCKY over a fan subscription site?
Because you sell content, not a membership. One link, one price, instant access — with no obligation to keep publishing on a schedule.
Can I still chat with buyers?
Yes. UNLOCKY has direct messages, and you can send locked media inside a conversation with a price badge that the buyer can pay right there.
Is AI-generated content allowed?
Yes, with a permanent AI badge that is set once at signup and shown on your profile and unlocks.
How private is my content?
Paid media lives in private storage. Public previews are downscaled and blurred, so the original file is never sent to a browser before payment.
