LOS ANGELES — Adult industry market research outfit SWR Data has published its 2026 Hot List report on the top creator platforms of 2025.
According to a rep, the report marks the first installment of SWR Data’s annual State of the Creator Report, revealing data from 550 adult creators surveyed in late 2025.
The top five platforms by positive brand sentiment among adult creators surveyed are LoyalFans, Fansly, SextPanther, Clips4Sale, and Chaturbate.
LoyalFans was viewed positively by 42% of the survey respondents and by 76% of creators who use the platform. It ranked third in overall adoption among platforms. Only 5% of surveyed creators view the platform negatively, with 53% being neutral or having no opinion. Additionally, 40% of creators surveyed said they use LoyalFans to earn income, with 69% choosing OnlyFans and 54% selecting ManyVids.
The report also points out that while OnlyFans is still the top source of revenue for adult creators, its popularity has declined, with nearly half of adult creators (48%) viewing the platform negatively, including 45% of OnlyFans creators.
“While LoyalFans isn’t yet a top income generator for most creators, the creators we surveyed view the platform more positively than any other, suggesting it’s poised for growth in 2026," said SWR Data co-founder MelRose Michaels. “We’ll be monitoring sentiment and adoption for this and other creator platforms throughout the year to better understand the dynamics of the creator market.”
