OnlyFans Tip Menu: Ideas, Examples and Pricing (2026)

An OnlyFans tip menu is a fixed list of extras fans can pay for - sexting, custom videos, ratings, GFE - each with a price attached. It matters because it turns a vague "can I get something custom?" DM into a decision a fan can make in ten seconds, and it lets you earn past your subscription price without ever discounting it.

The short version

  • What it is: a price list of à-la-carte extras, posted as a pinned post and pasted into your welcome message.

  • The number that matters: OnlyFans keeps 20% of every tip, subscription and PPV. You keep 80%.

  • Biggest mistake: publishing prices without agreeing, in writing, what the fan gets.

  • Fastest win: post three items this week, then raise one price every two weeks until conversion drops.

Still deciding how tips sit next to PPV? Start with how to make money on OnlyFans.

What is an OnlyFans tip menu?

A tip menu is a list of things a fan can request by sending a tip of a set amount. That's the whole idea. It replaces "tip me if you want" with "tip $40 and I'll send a five-minute custom."

OnlyFans describes it the same way: creators accept tips over DM for custom content and special requests, and many keep a menu in their pinned post. Fans can tip on posts, messages, livestreams or straight from your profile, and profiles with at least five posts can be eligible to receive tips. You'll also see the same thing called an OnlyFans pricing menu or a rate card - different label, identical job.

Two things it isn't. It isn't a storefront: there's no cart, so the fan tips and you deliver over DM. And it isn't a contract on its own: a tip doesn't create an order until you've confirmed what you'll send and when.

Why bother? Because most creators lose money to friction, not to price. A fan who has to ask what you offer, then waits six hours for a reply, usually closes the app.

How to create a tip menu on OnlyFans

Four steps, roughly 90 minutes of work.

1. Design the menu

Pick 8–12 items. More than that and fans stop reading; fewer than six and quiet browsers have nothing to buy.

Group them under short headers - chat, customs, ratings, GFE - so a fan scans straight to what they already wanted. Write each line as what they get + how much of it + the price. "Custom video, 3–5 minutes, $60" beats "custom video - enquire."

Format matters less than clarity, but the safest setup is both:

  • Text version, pinned: editable in seconds, readable on any phone.

  • Image version: better for promo channels and Reddit posts, a pain to edit when prices move.

A clean OnlyFans price menu should survive being read one-handed at midnight. Short lines, price on the right, no paragraph-length item descriptions.

2. Set prices

Start from your current PPV prices and go up. If an existing four-minute video sells at $25, the custom version sits at $50–$100 - it carries their name, their script and your shooting time. Full logic is in the pricing section below, but the floor rule is simple: the cheapest item on the menu should still clear $10 after the 20% cut.

3. Publish it as a pinned post or welcome message

Both, in this order:

  • Pinned post - write the menu, pin it. Every profile visit lands on it.

  • Welcome message - in Chats settings, set your automatic welcome message to include the menu or point to it. New subscribers see it before deciding whether to stay.

  • DM signature - keep a plain-text copy in your notes app and paste it into price questions. Never retype it.

Add a freshness line at the top - "Everything I do, everything it costs. Updated October 2026."

4. Update it

Monthly at minimum. Three triggers for an immediate edit:

  • You've delivered something that isn't on the menu three times running. It belongs there.

  • An item sold zero times in 60 days. Cut it or reprice it.

  • The pinned post and your DM version disagree. Fans screenshot the cheaper one.

OnlyFans tip menu ideas: 20 items that sell

Prices are gross ranges, not income promises. Where you land inside a range depends on your following, your niche and how many requests you already turn down.

Chat and interaction

  • Sexting session, 20–30 minutes - $30–$80

  • Voice note reply, under 2 minutes - $5–$15

  • Custom audio clip, 5–10 minutes - $20–$45

  • Priority DM replies for 24 hours - $10–$25

Sexting is the most-requested item we see, and the most commonly underpriced. Charge by duration, not "until you're done," or a $30 session eats three hours.

Custom content

  • Custom photo set, 5–10 shots - $25–$60

  • Custom video, 3–5 minutes - $40–$100

  • Name-say or personalized clip, under 60 seconds - $20–$50

  • Fully scripted custom, 8–10 minutes - $100–$250

Put "no reshoots, no rewrites" in the pinned post. That one line prevents more arguments than anything else on the menu. Need angles that don't repeat? The OnlyFans PPV ideas library doubles as a custom-request list.

Ratings and reviews

  • Text rating with honest feedback - $10–$25

  • Audio rating with a score out of 10 - $15–$35

  • Video rating, 3–5 minutes - $25–$60

  • Per-photo feedback - $5–$15

Cheap to produce, endlessly repeatable, zero shooting time. The best first item for anyone under 50 subscribers.

GFE and subscriptions

  • 24-hour GFE - $60–$150

  • 3-day GFE - $150–$300

  • 7-day GFE - $300–$600

  • Video call, 10–15 minutes - $60–$150

Define the hours - "8am–11pm ET, replies within 60 minutes" - or GFE quietly becomes a cheap subscription. And cap how many you sell per week. Getting the right buyers in the door is the other half; see how to get OnlyFans subscribers.

Extras

  • Livestream tip goal: set unlocks at $150 - tiers of $50–$150

  • Queue jump on customs - $20–$40

  • Session extension, +15 minutes - $20–$40

  • Unblock fee - $50–$150

The livestream goal is the highest-leverage line here: a crowd tips together instead of one fan at a time, and OnlyFans confirms both posts and streams accept tips.

OnlyFans menu prices: how to price your tip menu

Three mechanics do the heavy lifting on OnlyFans menu pricing.

Anchoring. Lead each section with your most expensive item. A $150 scripted custom makes the $60 photo set read as reasonable; the same set listed first reads as steep. Your real anchor is the PPV price fans already paid - if they paid $25 last week, a $40 custom isn't a leap.

Tiering. Three tiers per section, nothing in between:

Tier

What it is

Typical band

Entry

fast, repeatable, low effort

$10–$25

Core

your main offer, most sales

$30–$80

Premium

time-heavy or scripted work

$100–$250

The entry tier gives shy fans a way to spend something and makes the core look sensible. The premium tier makes the core look like a deal. Skipping the entry tier is the structural mistake we see most.

Why underpricing hurts. A $10 tip pays you $8 before taxes, processing and your own time. Sell ten custom videos at $10 and you've earned $80 for six hours of shooting, editing and messaging. Underpricing also sets a public ceiling: the fan who paid $15 for a rating expects $40 for a ten-minute custom, and the fan who'd have paid $60 never sees the option.

How to test. One change at a time, two weeks per test:

  1. Raise one item by 30–50%. Leave the rest alone.

  2. Track how many ask against how many pay - Statistics → Overview for tips by content type, Statements for line-by-line detail.

  3. If conversion holds above roughly 70% of the old rate, keep the new price. Fewer deliveries at a higher rate beats volume.

  4. If nobody asks in two weeks, drop 20% below the old price. Sometimes demand was the problem, not price.

Don't announce increases. Menus change; that's normal, and apologising invites negotiation. If you're rebuilding the whole presentation, these OnlyFans bio examples show how to state prices without sounding apologetic.

OnlyFans tip menu examples

Three realistic setups. Numbers are illustrative, not benchmarks.

Example 1: New creator, six weeks in, 40 subscribers, $9.99/month

Menu: 8 items, three sections - chat, ratings, customs. Entry points at $10, ceiling at $60: text rating $15, audio rating $25, name-say clip $25, sexting 20 minutes $30, custom photo set $35, 3-minute custom $50, priority DMs $10, 24-hour GFE $75.

Why: it fits on one screen, and nothing needs editing or a script. The GFE is priced high on purpose - most new creators can't sustain a week of it, and $75 filters for fans who actually want the time.

Example 2: Mid-tier, 14 months in, 300 subscribers, free page plus PPV

Menu: 14 items across all five sections, with one line at the top: "Customs open 3 days a week." Sexting $60 for 30 minutes, 5-minute custom $90, video rating $45, 3-day GFE $250, video call $120, queue jump $30.

Why: on a free page the menu does the job a subscription price can't. The "customs open 3 days a week" line does more than any discount - it makes the wait visible without inventing fake urgency.

Example 3: Established, 3 years in, 1,200 subscribers, three tiers

Menu: 20 items, sold as a designed image plus a pinned text version, with a separate VIP menu for the top tier. Scripted custom 10 minutes $200, 7-day GFE $550, video call $150, unblock fee $100.

Why: volume comes from the menu, not DMs. The entry tier is deliberately thin - one $15 item - because time is the bottleneck. The bottom of the menu also lists what's not available, which beats saying no in 40 separate conversations.

The pricing and positioning side, start to finish, is what the OnlyFans course covers.

How to tip on OnlyFans

Half the searches here come from buyers, so:

  1. Open the creator's profile and tap Send Tip - or the tip icon on a specific post, message or livestream.

  2. Enter the amount. OnlyFans sets a minimum per transaction, so it isn't $1 on every payment method.

  3. Add a note naming the item: "20-min sexting, from the menu."

  4. Confirm, then let the creator confirm delivery before expecting anything.

Tips land in the creator's pending balance first - OnlyFans' own example has a June 1 tip clearing no earlier than June 8 - so a two-day wait on a custom isn't slowness. And a tip alone buys nothing: agree the item in writing first, always.

Common tip menu mistakes

  • Selling without confirming. Someone tips $25 against a $50 item and you're either working at half price or refunding. End every menu with "DM me before tipping," and state once, politely, that an unconfirmed tip is a gift.

  • Pricing entry items under $10. After the 20% cut, a sub-$10 item delivers under $8 and teaches fans to expect small numbers for big work.

  • No delivery window. "Custom video $50" with no turnaround turns into a daily "where is it?" Add "delivered within 5 days."

  • Unlimited GFE. Ten 7-day GFEs at once isn't income, it's a second job with worse hours. Sell two spots a week.

  • Never updating. Last year's prices plus a dead item ("ask about Snapchat") reads as an inactive page. Fans read freshness as availability.

  • Copying a big creator's menu wholesale. Theirs is priced for 50,000 subscribers and a team. Copy the structure, set your own numbers.

FAQ

Is a tip menu allowed on OnlyFans? Yes. OnlyFans' Creator Center describes creators accepting tips over DM for custom content and requests, and notes many put a menu in their pinned post. Keep every item inside the Acceptable Use Policy in the Terms of Service.

How much should my first tip menu charge? Set a $10–$15 floor and a ceiling 5–8× higher. A $10 floor and $60–$80 ceiling is a workable first spread. Then raise one price every two weeks until requests slow.

Does a tip menu make more money, or cap it? Both are possible. Menus raise revenue when you already lose custom requests to friction. They cap revenue when you'd have quoted higher in a private conversation and the menu locks in a lower number. Under five custom requests a month? Publish a short list with a "DM me for a quote" line instead of full public prices.

Do I have to deliver if someone tips the wrong amount? No. Agree the item and price before delivery and say in the menu that unconfirmed tips are gifts. In practice, message once: "That item is $50 - top up $25 or take the $25 option?" Most fans top up.

Does OnlyFans take a cut of tips? Yes, 20%. OnlyFans states creators keep 80% of all earnings, tips included. A $50 tip pays out $40 before taxes and payout fees.

Should the menu be an image or a text post? Text for the pinned post and DMs, image for promo. Text is editable in seconds and readable on any phone; the image's only job is looking good on the platforms that send traffic your way.
