Megan Fox announced on 9 October 2026 that she has become a co-owner of Subs.com, the subscription platform built by OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely, launching her own paid-content page there rather than on OnlyFans itself. It is the biggest celebrity signing yet for a platform built explicitly to challenge the company Stokely started — and the deal gives a rare look at what a direct OnlyFans rival is actually offering creators in 2026.
Why it matters to creators: Subs.com is not just another also-ran trying to copy OnlyFans. It was built by the person who designed OnlyFans’ original model, it matches OnlyFans’ standard 80/20 payout split, and it is now actively using celebrity deals to build credibility with exactly the audience Nude Newz readers belong to — working creators deciding where to put their content and their trust. Whether or not Fox’s specific equity arrangement is something you’ll ever be offered, the platform underneath it is one more real option if OnlyFans’ own direction increasingly worries you.
What Subs.com actually offers creators
Stokely launched Subs.com — run by UK-registered Subco Group Limited — in May 2025, pitching it as a single home for subscriptions, pay-per-view content, long-form video and podcasts (“Shows”), a discovery feed (“Explore”), and paid 1:1 calls and messages, open to “podcasters, athletes, musicians, influencers, and adult creators” alike, according to BusinessCloud’s coverage of the launch. “There’s a clear demand for a subscription platform that gives creators everything they need in one place,” Stokely said at the time.
On fees, Stokely has told creators they keep an 80% commission — “comparable to the rate Tim established at OnlyFans,” according to an interview with Net Influencer. On top of that sits a two-tier referral scheme Stokely describes as adding “up to 7.5% for referrers, with no cap,” plus a “Collabs” feature for splitting revenue between creators working together. In other words: the headline split is identical to OnlyFans, but the referral and collaboration tools go further than anything OnlyFans currently offers.
The Megan Fox deal: what’s confirmed and what isn’t
Fox’s page is live as part of this push, and both she and Stokely have been direct about the thinking behind it. “Women have spent decades being told that visibility is power while someone else owns the platform, the audience or the image,” Fox said, in comments reported by Page Six and carried by ComingSoon.net. Stokely said Fox “has a seat at the table and is helping us build the platform.”
What hasn’t been disclosed anywhere: the size of Fox’s stake, whether it’s equity in Subco Group itself or a profit share tied specifically to her page, her subscription price, or whether anything like this is on the table for creators who aren’t A-list celebrities. Treat “co-owner” as a marketing headline for now, not a template you can expect to be offered — but note what it signals: Stokely is explicitly positioning Subs as the platform where creators get to keep more than just a payout.
Why a founder-built rival is worth watching right now
The timing isn’t incidental. OnlyFans has just rewritten its own terms of service to make accounts easier to suspend from 1 November, its majority ownership has already changed hands in a $535 million stake sale to Architect Capital, and the company is now run by investors rather than its founder. Subs is explicitly selling itself on the opposite pitch: more ownership, more say, fewer limits on what formats you can use to make money. Stokely has also launched a separate Subs Creator Fund, which invests in creators’ original entertainment ideas — vlogs, reality formats, documentaries — through its in-house production arm Subs Studios, with IP terms negotiated case by case, according to C21Media.
None of this makes Subs a safe bet. It’s a much smaller platform with an unproven user base for adult content specifically, no published figures on its creator or subscriber numbers, and a web-app structure (built to dodge Apple and Google’s app-store cuts and content rules) that some fans may simply find less familiar than an app. A founder’s name and a celebrity signing buy attention, not guaranteed earnings.
What to do now
- Don’t move your main income off OnlyFans on the strength of one celebrity announcement — treat Subs.com as a platform to test with a small slice of content, not a replacement.
- If you do try it, confirm the 80% split and payout schedule in writing inside your own Subs account before relying on anything reported second-hand.
- Use the “Collabs” revenue-split and two-tier referral tools as a genuine point of comparison next time an agency or another creator asks you to split income manually elsewhere.
- Keep an eye on whether Subs publishes real creator or subscriber numbers in the next few months — that, not a celebrity deal, is the actual signal of whether it’s a viable second platform.
- However it plays out, having a working profile on a second, serious platform remains the best insurance against any single platform’s policy changes — a lesson this year’s other creator earnings stories keep reinforcing.
