An OnlyFans menu, also called a tip menu or price menu, is a creator's own price list for extras such as custom requests, priority replies and voice notes. It is not a platform feature, so it is posted as a post or a message and every price has to fit OnlyFans' limits: $3 to $100 for a paid message or post, and $3 to $100 or $200 for a tip. OnlyFans keeps 20% of each item. Items must be digital, delivered as described and paid on the platform.
An OnlyFans menu, usually called a tip menu or price menu, is a list a creator writes that tells fans what each extra costs, such as a custom request, a priority reply or a voice note. It is not a platform feature: OnlyFans' help centre describes no menu tool, so a menu is a post or a message whose prices have to fit the platform's limits of $3 to $100 for a paid message and $3 to $100, or $200 for longer-standing users, for a tip. Below: how creators structure one, what the rules allow on it, and a neutral template with hypothetical prices.

OnlyFans and Fanvue are 18+ platforms. This page covers the pricing mechanics and the rules, with item names that would suit any kind of page, and it gives no advice on what content to make. I run a creator management agency, so menus are something I see set up well and badly; the limits and rules here are the platforms' own.
What an OnlyFans menu is
A subscription buys access to the page. A menu lists what is sold on top of it. Each line names one thing a fan can ask for, what exactly they receive, the price, and how to pay. The two names describe the two ways of paying:
- Tip menu. The fan sends a tip of the listed amount. OnlyFans' help centre says a fan tips by clicking Send Tip and "entering the amount", and has "the option to leave a Comment for the Creator", which is where the fan says which item the tip is for.
- Price menu. The creator sends the item as a priced message, and "fans will be charged automatically when they agree to view, and pay for, the content".
Because the menu is a convention and not a tool, it lives wherever text can go: a post on the page, or a message to new subscribers. If you mention it in your bio, keep the wording general. OnlyFans does not allow nudity in a bio or avatar because "these can be seen by people who have not subscribed to your profile", and public text is best held to the same standard.
- The fan pays first, then you deliver
- Works for items with no file, such as a priority reply
- $3 minimum. $100 maximum from a new user, $200 after 4 months
- Relies on the comment to say what was ordered
- Simple, but payment and delivery are two separate steps
- You send the item locked, and it opens when the fan pays
- Works for anything delivered as a file
- $3 to $100 for each message
- The caption states what is inside
- Payment and delivery happen together
The price limits a menu has to fit
Every menu price runs through a platform tool, and every tool has a floor and a ceiling. A menu that lists a price the tool will not accept cannot be paid for on the platform, and taking it elsewhere breaks the rules.
| Limit | OnlyFans | Fanvue |
|---|---|---|
| Pay-to-unlock message | $3 to $100 | Priced media in a message. Limits for messages are not published in the pages read |
| Pay-to-unlock post | $3 to $100 | $3 to $500 |
| Tip | $3 minimum. $100 maximum from new users, $200 after 4 months | Sent in chat. Limits are not published in the pages read |
| Daily spend by a new fan | Up to $500 a day, raised for long-standing users in good standing | Not published in the pages read |
| Platform fee on the item | 20% of the fan payment | 20% of gross revenue at the standard rate |
| Payment outside the platform | Not allowed | Not allowed |
| Physical goods | Not addressed, beyond a ban on selling controlled or regulated items | None. Fanvue describes itself as digital-only |
Two consequences follow. Nothing on an OnlyFans menu can cost less than $3. And a single item above $100 does not fit a priced message, so it has to be offered as separate parts, each delivered and paid for on its own, or left off the menu. The other ways an account earns are set out in how to make money on OnlyFans, and Fanvue's message pricing in our Fanvue PPV pricing guide.
What the rules allow on a menu
OnlyFans leaves the prices to the creator. Its Terms of Use say "Creators are solely responsible for determining any pricing applicable to Creator Interactions." What may be offered is narrower, and a menu is a written offer, so each line is held to these rules.
- It must be delivered as described. The terms require content to be "as described by you", and once a purchase is confirmed the creator "must perform their part of the Creator Interaction". The fan contract gives a window: the fan gains access to the content "within 14 days".
- It must be paid for on the platform. "The use of third-party payment systems outside of OnlyFans are not allowed."
- Nothing in person. The Acceptable Use Policy prohibits in-person meetings, and the creator guide removes content that "refers to creators and fans meeting in person including raffles and competitions".
- No personal contact details. OnlyFans tells creators not to share a full name, address or personal contact information with fans, so a menu cannot sell a phone number or a private account.
- No file storage links. "You cannot share links to file storage sites on OnlyFans." Delivery happens in a post or a message.
- Only verified people. A custom item that includes anyone other than the creator needs that person verified first.
- Inside the Acceptable Use Policy. An item the policy prohibits cannot be sold by calling it a custom request.
Fanvue's list is close. Its help centre says Fanvue "is a digital-only platform", so no physical goods and no in-person services, and it tells creators to "Avoid misleading pricing, hidden fees, or deceptive sales tactics". Its tips guide adds a rule about how to ask: do not use "fake or exaggerated emergencies" to pressure fans into tipping.
How creators structure a menu
The menus that cause the fewest refunds read like an order form. Every line answers the same four questions in the same order, and the list is short enough to read on a phone.
- 1Name the item plainly
A fan should know what it is from the name alone. Keep names general-audience.
- 2State exactly what is delivered
Length, number of files, and what is and is not included.
- 3Give a delivery time
A number of days you can always meet, inside the 14 days the fan contract allows.
- 4Set a price the tool accepts
At least $3, and no more than $100 for a priced message.
- 5Say how to pay
A tip with a comment, or wait for a priced message.
- 6Order from low to high
Small items first, so the first purchase is an easy one.
- 7End with what you do not offer
One line saves a great many awkward messages.
A menu is also a management document. It lets someone else answer a price question the same way you would, which matters as soon as anyone helps with messages; that side is covered in our OnlyFans management guide and in what an OnlyFans agency does.
A neutral menu template
| Item | What the fan gets | Hypothetical price | How it is paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Question in the monthly Q&A | One question answered in the monthly Q&A post | $3 | Tip with a comment |
| Priority reply | A reply within 24 hours for the next 7 days | $5 | Tip with a comment |
| Name in the thank-you post | Your username in the monthly thank-you post | $8 | Tip with a comment |
| Custom voice note | Up to 60 seconds on a topic you choose | $12 | Priced message |
| Pick the theme | You choose the theme of one post next week | $15 | Tip with a comment |
| Birthday message | A short personal video greeting, delivered on the day | $25 | Priced message |
| Custom photo set | 5 photos to a brief agreed in messages first | $40 | Priced message |
| Custom video message | Up to 2 minutes to a brief agreed in messages first | $75 | Priced message |
Under the list, three lines finish the menu: the delivery time for custom items, the sentence "all payments are made here on the platform", and what is not offered. On a hypothetical $12 item, OnlyFans keeps 20% and the creator receives $9.60 before any bank charge or tax, so set prices on what is kept.
Fanvue publishes pricing advice of its own for paid media, dated 11 August 2026: price "relative to what's inside", and avoid pricing too low because a very low price "anchors fans' perception of your content's value". That is one platform's view, offered to its own creators, and worth weighing as that.
Taking and delivering an order
- 01The fan asks
In a message, naming the menu item.
- 02You confirm the brief
What is included, the price and the delivery time, in writing.
- 03The fan pays on the platform
A tip with a comment, or by unlocking your priced message.
- 04You deliver as described
In a message, within the time you gave.
- 05You log it
What was sent to whom, so nothing is sold twice.
The second step is the one that prevents disputes. If a fan successfully requests a refund or a chargeback, OnlyFans says the amount "will be removed from the Creator's income", and a brief agreed in messages is the record of what was promised. You are also free to say no: Fanvue's compliance page tells creators "You don't have to say yes to every request", and the same holds anywhere.
- Every price is at least $3 and fits the tool it is paid through
- Every line says exactly what the fan receives and when
- Nothing on it involves meeting in person or a physical item
- Nothing on it involves payment or contact outside the platform
- Nothing on it needs another person who has not been verified
- Every item is something the Acceptable Use Policy allows
- The wording of anything public is general-audience
- It ends with what you do not offer
Where an AI persona fits
A menu for an AI persona belongs on a platform that accepts the account. OnlyFans says AI content may be shared only if "it clearly features the verified Creator", and its creator guide lists "accounts or content that are wholly AI-generated" among content that cannot be shared (help centre, read 13 October 2026; see AI OnlyFans rules). Fanvue's help centre says "AI creators are a fully recognised and verified category on Fanvue", and its Community Guidelines, updated 12 October 2026, require "a clear and prominent disclosure" on all AI-generated media.
That disclosure reaches the menu. A custom voice note or image from an AI persona is AI-generated media and is sold as such, and Fanvue says a creator with an AI model cannot tell fans they are a real person in posts and chats, so no line may imply a human made or recorded the item. The persona itself is a fictional adult who reads as an adult, never built from a real person's face, name, voice or likeness without written permission; see is AI adult content legal? Our Fanvue review covers the platform, how to start an AI model on Fanvue the setup, Fanvue AI messaging tools and rules the chat side, and Fanvue vs OnlyFans the limits side by side. Where a page with a menu may be promoted is in OnlyFans advertising rules, and the AI Influencers program covers building the persona and its offer from the start.
OnlyFans menu: FAQ
What is an OnlyFans menu?
An OnlyFans menu is a price list a creator writes for extras that are not part of the subscription: custom requests, priority replies, voice notes and similar. It tells a fan what each item is, what it costs and how to pay. It is not a platform feature. OnlyFans' help centre describes no menu tool, so a menu is simply a post or a message.
What is a tip menu on OnlyFans?
A tip menu is a menu where the fan pays by sending a tip of the listed amount, usually with a comment saying which item it is for. OnlyFans' Send Tip button lets a fan enter an amount and "leave a Comment for the Creator". A price menu is the same list where the creator sends a priced message that unlocks when the fan pays.
Does OnlyFans have a built-in menu feature?
Not one that its public help centre describes. The pages read on 13 October 2026 cover subscription prices, pay-to-unlock messages and posts, tips, free trials and promotional campaigns, and none describes a menu or a custom request product. A menu is a convention creators use on top of those tools, which is why its prices have to fit the limits of the tools.
How much can I charge on an OnlyFans menu?
Each item has to fit the tool it is paid through. A pay-to-unlock message or post is $3 to $100. A tip is at least $3 and at most $100 from a new user, or $200 from a user who has been on the platform at least 4 months. OnlyFans also says new users may spend up to $500 a day. Inside those limits the creator sets the price.
What can I put on an OnlyFans tip menu?
Anything digital that the Acceptable Use Policy allows and that you can deliver as described through the platform, for example a custom voice note, a priority reply or a custom photo set. Not allowed: meeting in person, payment outside OnlyFans, links to file storage sites, content with an unverified other person, and anything the policy prohibits.
Does OnlyFans take a cut of tips and menu items?
Yes, the same 20% as everything else. The help centre says "Creators receive 80% of any Fan Payment made to them, including subscriptions, paid messages, and tips." A hypothetical $10 menu item paid by tip or by priced message leaves the creator $8 before any bank charge or tax, so price the menu on what you keep.
Can I take payment for menu items outside OnlyFans?
No. The help centre says "The use of third-party payment systems outside of OnlyFans are not allowed. If you try to direct Fans to make a payment outside the OnlyFans platform there is a risk your account will be deactivated." Fanvue has the same rule: creators must not accept or request payments from users outside the platform.
