Our take on JustForFans

A typical tier-3 platform: not one to build your income around, since there is little money to be made here. As a secondary platform where you duplicate finished content, it can still make sense.

Pros

• Niche content is allowed and there is less censorship.
• Some unique technical features.
• Streaming support, which suits webcam models.

Cons

• Low traffic and tier-3 status (more about platform tiers).
• As a result, low activity and low income for creators.
• Low ratings on Trustpilot.
