Where we stand

Disclosure and independence

Creator Agency Index is an independent directory. We make money from agency listing fees, referral fees, and software affiliate commissions, all on the business side. Creators never pay us, and no one can buy a ranking. Our verdicts are set before any commercial relationship and do not change because of it.

How we make money, and what it does not buy

Here is every way revenue reaches us, what each channel pays for, and the line it never crosses. The right column is the important one.

Revenue channel Who pays What it never buys
Agency listing feeThe agencyRank, a match recommendation, or skipping vetting
Creator to agency referralThe agency, after a creator signsA higher position or a softer review
Software affiliate commissionThe tool vendor, on purchaseA better verdict than the tool earns
Newsletter sponsorshipA creator economy vendorEditorial coverage or a directory placement

Sponsored placements, if we ever run them, are labeled as sponsored on the page. They never appear inside vetting verdicts or match shortlists.

Four promises that keep us honest

Free for creators

Creators never pay to use the match service or read anything here. Our revenue comes from the business side only.

No paid rankings

Order is set by fit and a passed review. You can read the standard on our how we vet page.

Labeled links

Where a link may earn us a referral or affiliate fee, we say so in the footer of that page.

Real entries only

We never invent agencies, reviews, ratings, or statistics. A slot with no vetted entry ships empty until a real one passes.

Not affiliated with any platform

Creator Agency Index is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OnlyFans, Fansly, or any creator platform. We are a business to business index that connects creators with vetted management agencies and the software they run on. We do not host or link to explicit content, and we never route fans to a creator. If you want to see how the match works, read how matching works or start with the confidential intake.

Common questions

Does paying you get an agency a better ranking?

No. A listing fee buys a profile, not a position. Order in our directory and match shortlists is decided by fit and a passed vetting review. Money never moves an agency up.

Referral fee versus affiliate commission?

A referral fee is paid by an agency or service when a creator we introduced signs with them. An affiliate commission is paid by a software vendor when you buy a tool through our link. Both are disclosed and neither changes our verdict.

Is the service really free for creators?

Yes. Creators never pay us. We are funded by agencies, vendors, and affiliate partners on the business side, which keeps the match service free and keeps our advice on the creator's side.

Are you affiliated with OnlyFans or Fansly?

No. We are an independent directory and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OnlyFans, Fansly, or any creator platform. We are a business to business index of agencies and tools.

On the creator's side
