How do subscriptions work?

The short answer

Subscribing to a creator unlocks the posts they share with subscribers. Your plan renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time.

What a subscription unlocks

You subscribe to one creator at a time, on one of their tiers. Each tier lists what it includes and its monthly price.

  • Posts for subscribers unlock as soon as you subscribe.
  • Some posts are locked to a specific tier. The post shows which tier you need.
  • Some posts are pay-per-view and cost extra, unless the creator makes them free for subscribers.

Subscribe

  1. 01Go to the creator’s profile and choose a tier.
  2. 02Pick a plan: monthly, or a 3, 6 or 12-month bundle if the creator offers one.
  3. 03If you have a promotion code, choose Have a code? and enter it.
  4. 04Check the price and confirm. The button says Subscribe, or offers to start your free trial if the tier has one.

Depending on where you are, you may need to verify your age before you can subscribe.

Plans and renewals

  • A monthly plan renews every month until you cancel.
  • A bundle is paid up front for 3, 6 or 12 months, often at a discount. It renews for the same length unless you turn off auto-renew before you subscribe.
  • Some creators offer a free trial. You pay nothing until it ends, then it renews at the monthly price unless you cancel.

Your subscriptions, and the date each one renews or ends, are in Settings › Manage subscriptions. For timing details, read When am I charged?
