Telegram vs Fansly
The short version
Fansly is a subscription platform that hosts content and typically takes a commission, commonly around 20%. TeleSearch is a free directory: it lists creators on their personal Telegram accounts and you talk to them directly. We host nothing and take no cut.
For fans, Telegram is where you chat one to one, while Fansly is where the creator publishes a feed. For creators, a Telegram listing is free and keeps you in control of how you chat and get paid, but there is no built-in payment or content hosting. Many creators use both.
