In OnlyDetect's 30 September 2026 snapshot, the median stored monthly price among 204 records labeled paid was $11.45. The mean was approximately $14.00. These are statistics about one directory sample, not average OnlyFans subscription prices and not verified current checkout offers.
The distinction matters when you compare a real offer with an online benchmark. A precise-looking number can describe a narrow, selected dataset. It cannot tell you whether a subscription includes what you want or whether a creator's present offer has changed.
What was measured
We queried 461 active, indexable, unsuppressed OnlyDetect records with a validation timestamp within the previous 180 days. The downloadable aggregate dataset records the exact UTC observation times, inclusion rule, and limitations. The editorial date uses Asia/Bangkok.
We separated offer states before calculating the paid-price summary. There were 204 paid records, 242 free records, and 15 trial records. Pooling zero-entry and trial records with ordinary paid subscriptions would answer a different question.

| Stored-price measure | Paid records only |
|---|---|
| Records included | 204 |
| Median | $11.45 |
| Arithmetic mean, rounded | $14.00 |
| Minimum recorded | $4.99 |
| Maximum recorded | $50.00 |
All 461 records had USD recorded as their currency. This does not establish what a bank will charge a customer in another currency.
Why the median and mean differ
The median describes the middle of the ordered paid-price observations. The mean adds the stored prices and divides by 204. Higher prices have more influence on the mean, so the two summaries need not match.
Neither number is a recommended price, a typical fan's expenditure, or a quality score. A subscription plus optional purchases is a different quantity from the subscription field we measured. The cost comparison worksheet helps compare an actual shopping list over a consistent period.
What the price bands include
Across all 461 records, 242 stored prices were zero, 12 were above zero but below $5, 71 were from $5 to below $10, 93 were from $10 to below $20, and 43 were $20 or more. These bands include trial records as well as free and paid records; they must not be presented as the distribution of paid subscriptions alone.
A trial can have a nonzero stored regular price while offering temporary free access. The trial price study explains that ambiguity. We did not treat every nonzero field as the amount charged immediately.
What this sample cannot establish
OnlyDetect's inclusion process favors records the directory has discovered and can index. It is not random sampling from the platform. We did not inspect every current checkout, measure purchases, or observe the amount individual fans spent. No confidence interval would repair those selection and measurement limits.
Use these results to understand the directory's data and the importance of comparing like with like. For a purchase decision, inspect the current offer and its inclusions. For a broader market claim, require a study with a suitable sampling frame and definitions.

Download the JSON, aggregate CSV, and aggregation SQL. The public files contain aggregate counts, not a list of subscribers or their purchases. The SQL documents the calculation; it requires authorized access to the matching database to rerun.
If a source correction changes the sample, we will issue a dated revision rather than silently presenting a new number as the original observation.
