Frequently Asked Questions

Ideal users:

• Multi-platform creators (YouTube + TikTok + Instagram, etc.)
• Subscription creators (OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon)
• Creators treating their content as a business
• International creators needing tax guidance

Not ideal for:

• Hobbyist single-platform creators (use YouTube Studio, it's free)
• Large agencies needing 50+ seats
• People who just need a bio link (use Linktree)

Fair question. Here's our answer:

1. We never store your platform passwords – Secure authorised connections; see How it works
2. You can export your account data – JSON download from Settings → Data & Privacy
3. You can delete everything – Full GDPR/CCPA compliance
4. We explain how it works – See our How It Works page
5. We're a registered Australian business – operating under the Australian Privacy Act

You connect each network from Settings in the Creator Sense app using secure, industry-standard sign-in on the platform’s own site. We receive limited access tokens where the provider supports them — we never store your platform passwords. For a full walkthrough (including optional browser sync where a network has no public API), see How it works.

No. Never. We store only the secure tokens and credentials the connection method requires (for example OAuth tokens where applicable). Revoke access from the platform’s third-party app settings or disconnect in Creator Sense — we lose access when you do.

Yes. CreatorSense AI treats subscription creators as first-class users — OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, and the rest sit in the same dashboard as your social and video platforms. Every feature tier you subscribe to applies with no separate “adult” product.

Connections use the same security story as everywhere else: you authorise access from the app, we never ask you to hand over platform passwords, and you can disconnect anytime. Technical detail (OAuth vs optional browser sync for networks without a public API) is on How it works.

We will never ask for your OnlyFans, Fansly, or any platform password in chat or email. Anyone who does is impersonating us.

30+ supported networks across social, subscription, commerce, audio, newsletters, wellness, and more — connect what you use from the app. The list changes as we ship integrations; this FAQ is representative, not exhaustive.

Examples include YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitch, Snapchat, Pinterest, Spotify, Patreon, Gumroad, Stripe, Shopify, Etsy, Amazon Storefront, LTK, Beehiiv, Depop, OnlyFans, Fansly, Google Drive, and optional wellness sources (e.g. Google Fit, Fitbit, Strava, Oura, Apple Health) where available in product.

How it works explains how connections are secured; the team maintains a detailed matrix in internal docs for exact per-platform methods.

Stop switching between 10 different browser tabs. Creator Sense AI provides a Unified Headquarters that consolidates data from YouTube, TikTok, OnlyFans, and more. Combined with ARIA, your AI business advisor, you can automate strategic planning and admin tasks, reclaiming 4+ hours of your week.

Most tools only show what you made. Our ORACLE Revenue Intelligence shows where you're headed. ORACLE analyses your connected platform revenue history to produce 30, 60, and 90-day forecasts with confidence intervals — helping you plan for investments, purchases, or tax set-asides. Forecast precision improves as your data history grows.

The NEXUS Calendar is your unified command center for content distribution. Unlike generic schedulers, NEXUS supports both mainstream and subscription platforms (OnlyFans, Fansly). It features a drag-and-drop interface and automated posting with human-like behavioral offsets to protect your accounts.

TaxWise is the core of our financial suite. It auto-imports revenue from connected platforms and tracks deductible expenses by category. It provides tax liability estimates for 9 countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, Netherlands, Brazil), with quarterly payment schedules so you're never surprised at year-end. Always consult a licensed tax professional for filing advice.

While Creatorly is a solid tool for general social media, NEXUS is built for the "Higher-Stakes" creator. Key differences include:

• Revenue Integration: NEXUS knows when your subscribers are most active based on actual payment data.
• NSFW Support: We treat OnlyFans and Fansly as first-class citizens.
• Privacy Focus: Advanced zero-knowledge architecture to protect your content and data.

Think of ARIA™ as your personal business strategist and PRISM™ as your data analyst. Together, they digest your performance metrics across all platforms to deliver actionable, tailored recommendations—not just raw data.

No. ARIA is built on top of OpenAI's GPT models, but it's much more than a wrapper:

• Domain routing: Questions go to specialized handlers (Strategy, Finance, etc.)
• Data integration: ARIA has context from your connected platforms
• Custom prompts: Each domain has carefully designed system prompts

Yes. We understand that adult and subscription creators are heavily underserved by traditional business tools. We built a secure, Zero-Knowledge browser extension that aggregates your OnlyFans and Fansly revenue data directly into your dashboard alongside YouTube and TikTok—without ever needing or seeing your password. You finally get a full picture of your PPV, subscription LTV, and tipping metrics.

Absolutely. ARIA™ isn't just a chatbot—it's an active strategist tuned on millions of data points from the creator economy. If your YouTube ad revenue dips but your channel views are steady, ARIA can automatically detect the anomaly and suggest shifting your NEXUS calendar focus toward high-LTV platforms, completely automating your strategic pivot.

Yes. Before or after canceling, go to Settings → Data & Privacy and download a full JSON export of your account data. Your data belongs to you — always.

Standard ($9/mo, monthly or yearly) can be purchased in the app under Settings → Usage & Billing via Stripe Checkout. Card and wallet methods supported by Stripe (for example Apple Pay or Google Pay) may appear depending on your device and region.

The Professional tier is still marked Coming Soon in the app — checkout is not offered for that plan yet. The Free tier remains available without a card.

When paid billing is fully live, plans are month-to-month unless we offer an annual option you explicitly choose. You can cancel from your account; access continues through the period you already paid for. Today, many users are on beta access — see When will paid plans be available? above.

Common legitimate deductions for creators include:

• Equipment: Camera, lighting, ring lights, microphone, phone and laptop (proportional to business use)
• Software: Editing software (Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro), scheduling tools, CreatorSense subscription
• Home office: If you have a dedicated room used exclusively for your business, a proportion of rent, internet, electricity may be deductible
• Content costs: Costumes, outfits, props, sets purchased specifically for content production
• Hair & makeup: Proportional to business shoots
• Professional services: Accountant fees, legal advice
• Marketing: Ads run for your creator business
• Platform fees: OnlyFans 20% cut, Fansly 20% cut — these are business expenses, not taxable income

Keep receipts and use a dedicated business bank card to separate personal and business spending. TaxWise inside CreatorSense helps track these by category automatically.

Yes, in most countries. Quarterly deadlines by country:

• US: April 15, June 17, September 16, January 15
• Australia: PAYG instalments — usually October 28, February 28, April 28, July 28
• UK: Payments on Account in January and July, plus balancing payment
• Canada: March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15

TaxWise calculates your obligation automatically based on your connected platform earnings. The free Tax Calculator gives you a quick estimate without an account.

OnlyFans and Fansly don't offer public APIs, so we built our own solution — the CreatorSense Data Sync browser extension. It runs locally in your browser and reads the data visible on your own dashboard while you're already logged in, the same way you would view it yourself.

No passwords are ever stored. No credentials are transmitted. You can revoke access at any time by removing the extension. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Note: CP Connect is a separate CreatorSense feature — it's our creator collaboration network for finding verified collaboration partners. It has nothing to do with platform data sync.

We design all platform integrations to comply with each platform's Terms of Service. We will never automate actions on your behalf, interact with other users through your account, or store your login credentials. You should always review the current ToS of any platform you use and make your own judgment. We will provide full ToS compliance documentation when direct subscription platform integration launches.

This is exactly why platform diversification matters. CreatorSense shows your current income distribution across platforms and highlights how much of your revenue is concentrated in any single platform — we call this your "diversification risk score."

ORACLE can model what happens to your revenue forecast if a platform suddenly disconnects, and can forecast the income impact of adding a second subscription platform (like Fansly or Patreon). The goal isn't to leave OnlyFans — it's to ensure you can survive losing it.

Supported platforms & diversification hub →

Start with your concentration score: what percentage of your income comes from each platform? If any single platform is over 70% of your income, you have a single point of failure.

When adding a second subscription platform, position it as an upgrade — exclusive content not available elsewhere — rather than a copy of your existing platform. Target 15–25% of your existing subscribers to follow. Over 6 months, aim to get the second platform to 20%+ of total income.

CreatorSense's diversification dashboard shows your current risk score and forecasts the income impact of expansion. ARIA can walk you through the specific steps based on your Creator DNA archetype.

Your Creator DNA is your archetype — the content style, audience relationship, and revenue model that fits your natural way of creating. The five archetypes are: Educator, Entertainer, Lifestyle Influencer, Expert Analyst, and Community Builder.

Each archetype has a different optimal first revenue stream, platform priority, and growth strategy. Knowing yours stops you from trying every strategy at once and helps you focus on what will actually work for your specific style.

CreatorSense Fan Hub identifies churn risk automatically. It analyses engagement frequency, DM activity, PPV open rates, and rebill history to score every subscriber as Hot, Warm, or Cold.

Fans who drop into Cold status get flagged as at-risk, giving you time to re-engage them with a DM, exclusive offer, or price incentive before they cancel. The industry average churn rate is 40–50% per month — Fan Hub helps you beat that systematically rather than guessing.

The safe general rule is 25–35% of every payout, but the exact amount depends on your country and total annual income:

• United States: Self-employment tax (15.3%) plus federal income tax typically lands between 28–40% combined.
• Australia: PAYG instalments usually sit at 25–30% of gross income.
• United Kingdom: Class 4 National Insurance plus income tax can total 29–45%.
• Canada: CPP contributions plus federal/provincial tax typically total 30–45%.

Yes — CreatorSense is built specifically for this. The Unified Headquarters aggregates earnings, subscriber counts, and engagement data from OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, and 15+ other platforms into a single dashboard.

You can see total revenue, per-platform breakdown, and trends across all your subscription platforms simultaneously — no more logging into each platform separately and manually combining numbers in a spreadsheet.

The CreatorSense Data Sync browser extension handles the connection without ever storing your passwords.

FanStats and Onlymonster focus primarily on OnlyFans messaging analytics and fan chat — useful tools for creators who want DM scripting and fan scoring within OnlyFans specifically.

CreatorSense is a full business operating system:

• Multi-platform analytics across 20+ platforms (not just OnlyFans)
• AI business coaching with ARIA (strategy, not just scripts)
• 90-day revenue forecasting with ORACLE
• Automated tax estimation across 9 countries with TaxWise
• Content scheduling with NEXUS
• Creator collaboration network with CP Connect

If you only need single-platform messaging analytics, the specialist tools are simpler. If you want to run your entire creator business — taxes, forecasting, scheduling, analytics — from one place, CreatorSense is built for exactly that.
