Fanfix is a website offering fans opportunities to see exclusive content from their favorite content creators. Some content is behind a paywall, similar to how other sites like Patreon and Ko-Fi work, and some of the content is available for free. Here are the basics of what Fanfix is and how to use the service.


What Is Fanfix?

Fanfix allows creators to set up profiles to share exclusive, non-explicit content. Some creators share their content for free, while others lock their content behind a paywall. Fanfix is like Patreon, another service that allows content creators to monetize exclusive content for their patrons.

Fanfix offers the option to follow creators for free and see limited posts or subscribe for a fee. Note that once you follow an account, Fanfix does not currently have the option to unfollow creators. As a subscriber, you can see exclusive posts, view creators’ Fanfix live streams, and even send messages to content creators you like.

If you’re a fan of a creator, you can go to the creator’s Fanfix page and subscribe for exclusive content for a set monthly amount. This amount varies, with some creators charging anywhere form $5 to $12 per month for access.

There are options to like and comment on creators’ posts on Fanfix, as well. Followers and subscribers can also give tips to content creators via the website. Patreon currently does not have a way to tip creators, so this makes Fanfix stand out.

Because Fanfix is newer, its interface has some flaws. For example, you must have an account to search for creators on Fanfix. Patreon, however, allows you to search for creators without logging in.

Another major drawback is that Fanfix is only available via web browser, not via an app. Additionally, if you’re looking to support a smaller creator, creators with smaller followings than 10,000 across all platforms are not eligible for a creator account on Fanfix.

As of now, Fanfix only offers a flat rate for subscribers. This stands in stark comparison to Patreon, which offers different payment tiers of membership with potential incentives like personalized letters or merchandise for higher-paying subscribers. Some of your favorite creators might not be on Patreon, though, so Fanfix may be the best way to show your support.


How to Get Started With Fanfix

You can create an account by going to the website, Fanfix.io, and clicking the sign-up option. From there, you can search for content creators you’d like to follow or subscribe to. Fanfix allows users to subscribe to follow creators for free, but it is important to note that you must have a form of payment on file via the website to use the free follows.

Finally, if you’re a creator interested in joining Fanfix, you can submit an application through the website. Most notably, Fanfix requires creators to have a hefty 10,000 followers across all social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok to qualify.

Whether you’re looking to join Fanfix as a creator or to support other creators, Fanfix has a host of opportunities for more interaction and exclusive content.
