Fanso review: an OnlyFans clone script from $699

fanso.io

Fanso sells a self-hosted creator platform script, marketed as an OnlyFans or Fansly clone, for $699 or $1,499 as a one-time payment with installation included. The Ho Chi Minh City team also sells a Candy AI clone from $1,500.

Our verdict on Fanso

Fanso suits founders who want their own adult creator platform with no revenue share and can host and run it themselves. You pay once, installation is included and the live demos let you judge before buying.

Budget for the Professionals license. The $699 Starters license ships minified code that you are not allowed to modify.

Do you get the source code with Fanso?

Only with Professionals. Starters ($699) includes every feature, live streaming and free installation, but delivers minified code, and Fanso states you will not be able to modify it. Professionals ($1,499) delivers complete, unminified source. If you plan to change a payment flow, a page template or a moderation rule, Starters is a dead end. Prices are in US dollars, and Fanso takes no cut of creator sales.

What updates cost after year one

Starters includes 6 months of updates, Professionals 1 year. After that, updates cost $999 a year. Over three years a Professionals install therefore costs $1,499 plus $1,998 in updates if you keep current.

The Candy AI clone

Fanso's AI companion platform, sold as a Candy AI clone, starts at $1,500 one time with source code, and goes live in 5 to 6 business days after Fanso gets your server access and AI provider keys. It can run SFW or NSFW. Fanso notes that adult deployments need age controls, moderation and AI providers that allow it, and API costs stay with you.

Fanso refund policy

Fanso asks buyers to test the demos first. Complaints must come within 3 days of the order. Because the product is a download, Fanso generally offers no refunds: after download, requests are case by case and at its sole discretion, and lack of technical knowledge is not a valid reason. The team describes itself as 20+ engineers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, active since 2018. No legal entity is named on the site.

Fanso or My Member Site?

My Member Site charges nothing upfront, hosts everything and takes a share of sales. Fanso is the reverse: one payment, then hosting and admin are on you.
