CreatorHero vs Substy (2026)

Which OnlyFans CRM fits your agency?

The short answer

Buy CreatorHero if you run a human chatter team: it's built by OF operators, tracks revenue per chatter, and caps at $260/mo per account no matter how much a model sells. Buy Substy only if you want an autonomous AI closing PPVs and routing whales to people, and can stomach its refund complaints and 2.9 Trustpilot rating.

Both call themselves an OnlyFans CRM, but they aim at opposite ends of the same problem. CreatorHero is a console for a human chatter team: sharper tools, per-chatter revenue and hours, and saved scripts tied to your vault so the right media surfaces mid-conversation.

Substy tries to delete the chatter on the low end: an autonomous AI that sells PPV around the clock and only bumps a fan to a human past a spend threshold. So the question is whether you're staffing chatters or replacing them. CreatorHero is opaque on price but carries no public red flags, while Substy sits near 2.9 on Trustpilot over reviews about the AI going silent, refunds refused, and charges after cancellation.

Pricing, in plain English

CreatorHero charges per account, not per subscriber: a base from $39.99/mo plus a revenue fee capped at $260/mo per account. One model's growth never runs your bill away. The official article gives no dollar figures, and an aggregator puts the tiers at roughly Basic $95, Advanced $200, Professional $242.

Substy runs subscription plus commission on AI sales, which changes the math. Starter is $0 with 15% commission; Pro is $69 per creator/mo at 10%; Elite is $99 per creator/mo at 8.5%. Run 10 models: on CreatorHero, worst case is 10 x $260 = $2,600/mo, capped, no cut of your earnings. On Substy Pro the subscription is 10 x $69 = $690/mo, but push $50,000/mo in AI sales and the 10% is $5,000, so your real cost lands near $5,690. Substy looks cheap on the sticker and gets expensive exactly when it's working.

CreatorHero

Billed per connected creator account (per model), not per subscriber, so adding managed accounts raises cost but a single account's subscriber growth does not. A base subscription (stated from $39.99/mo) combines with an added revenue-based fee capped at $260/mo per account. Third-party aggregators list named tiers (Basic $95, Advanced $200, Professional $242 per month) selected by subscriber volume, though CreatorHero's own pricing article describes tiers only by subscriber count without publishing dollar figures.

  • Starting price$39.99/mo
    Stated starting price per creator account, billed per account rather than by subscriber count.
  • Revenue-based fee (capped)up to $260/mo
    A revenue-based fee added on top of the base price, capped at a stated $260/month per account.
  • Basic (aggregator-listed)$95/mo
    Per-account tier for roughly 200 to 500 subscribers per an aggregator listing, not confirmed on the official pricing page, which describes tiers only by subscriber volume.
  • Advanced (aggregator-listed)$200/mo
    Per-account tier for roughly 500 to 2,000 subscribers per an aggregator listing, not confirmed on the official pricing page.
  • Professional (aggregator-listed)$242/mo
    Per-account tier for 2,000+ subscribers per an aggregator listing, not confirmed on the official pricing page.

Substy

Tiered subscription plus a commission on AI-generated sales. The pricing page states monthly plans are billed 'per creator' ($69 Pro, $99 Elite), with a commission on AI sales (15% free tier, 10% Pro, 8.5% Elite) and a 25% annual discount. Some Substy marketing copy instead claims a single flat rate for all accounts combined, which contradicts the 'per creator' wording and could not be reconciled.

  • Starter$0/mo
    Free plan, unlimited creators; 15% commission on AI sales only. Full AI chatting (Normal/Aggressive modes) and welcome-message automation.
  • Pro$69 per creator / mo
    10% AI commission. Adds Mass DM, dynamic lists, 6 automations, three AI chat-speed modes. Billed 'per creator'; 25% annual discount; one-week trial.
  • Elite$99 per creator / mo
    8.5% AI commission (stated 'lowest on the market'). Adds AI Hybrid mode, all automations, tracking links, and Browser OF. 25% annual discount; one-week trial.

Choose one

Choose CreatorHero if…

  • You run a human chatter team and want per-chatter revenue and hours, unlimited seats with roles, and a script-linked vault.
  • Your models are high earners and you want a hard ceiling: CreatorHero caps at $260/mo per account while Substy skims every AI sale.
  • You run OnlyFans and nothing else, so CreatorHero's single-platform focus costs you nothing that Substy's Fanvue reach would.

Choose Substy if…

  • You want the AI to send messages and close PPV on its own with Slow, Normal, and Aggressive modes, not just faster humans.
  • You run Fanvue next to OnlyFans. Substy supports both live; CreatorHero is OF-only, and Substy skips Fansly with MYM only coming soon.
  • You want hybrid routing where a human takes the fan over past a spend threshold (Substy's example is $40), refund complaints aside.

People also ask

Which one is cheaper for a small agency?
At the sticker, Substy: its Starter tier is free with unlimited creators though it takes 15% of AI sales, and Pro is $69 per creator/mo. But that commission climbs with revenue, so a team of models that sells well can blow past CreatorHero's $260/mo per-account cap.
Does CreatorHero really not publish prices?
Correct: the official article lists no dollar figures and splits tiers only by subscriber band. A third-party aggregator pegs Basic $95, Advanced $200, Professional $242, but the only way to confirm is the 7-day trial or a sales call.
Is Substy safe to trust with my accounts and money?
Go in eyes open: Substy sits near 2.9 on Trustpilot from two reviews, with complaints the AI stopped answering, refunds were refused, and charges kept coming after cancellation. Test on the free Starter tier and get refund terms in writing.
Can I move my scripts over from another tool?
Substy imports scripts and data from Infloww, though it's a one-way import. CreatorHero doesn't advertise an import path, but its scripts feed the vault directly, auto-suggesting the matching media when a chatter uses a saved script.
