Pre-text: all comparison is based on our experience with mentioned sites and do not neccessarily exhaust or perfectly document the reality.
We also do not list our negatives as the major one is obvious: we just started and have comparable small userbase, so you have to bring your own customers
with you, respectively your success is based mainly on your ability to find customers. We just believe we give you better tools for that than anyone else.
Facebook
Our largest competitor is probably Facebook, compared to which we have following differences
- PG 18 / R - Rated content
- Lack of censorship
- Content feed is based on time and connection level and not on "smart" algorithms
- Better search
- Better messenger
- Uploaded content is not modified / compressed
- Size limit on data and video is about 100 times higher
- Simpler selection of who can see what
- Paid-for memberships
- No ads or sharing of data with third party
- Option for public website
- Option for online shop
- Uploaded photos are not publicly available over CDN server. For example this photo was posted for friends only, yet anyone (including bots) can access it without login or reference to the original poster.
OnlyFans
Popular creator's website is at this moment by us considered an extension of DesireHive, but we still believe we excel in following areas:
- Lower sales comission
- Simpler registration for your fans / members
- Way more features
- Lack of dubious censorship based on hard to understand rules
- More flexible membership options
- Option to upload all of the content, not displaying existing member's only
- Better payment and pay-out options
- Better user interface (not just feed)
- Better messenger
- Search and directory of existing creators
- DesireHive allows lifetime memberships as well as sale of individual art without messaging it
DeviantArt
Popular artist's website is also more or less direct competitor to DesireHive, but we have following improvements:
- Lack of dubious censorship based on hard to understand rules
- Higher limit on uploaded data
- Support for videos
- Better user interface
- Better messenger which is not split to messages and chat
- Better name
- No paid subscriptions
- Very limited payout and locked finances you pay in
PornHub
Compared to popular site we stay as follow
- Lack of dubious censorship based on hard to understand rules (especially after recent issues)
- Zero annoying and shady ads mixed with your own content
- Higher limit on uploaded data
- Better search
- Better membership options
- Better payment and pay-out options
- Your content is not used for self-promotion
WhatApp
Compared to WhatsApp our messenger has
- Higher limit on uploaded data
- Search
- Formating
- Ability to be used on multiple devices with a simple login
Reddit
From all the sites mentioned above, the Reddit is probably the only one we take as a serious competition. Still we believe that
we have lot to offer above Reddit's features.
- Higher limit on uploaded data / no need for third party hosting
- Content in albums / directory instead of just a simple feed
- Better membership options
- More features, for example own website, shop, etc.
- Uploaded data are not publicly accessible (reddit uses CDN without required registration to view the uploaded data).
- Better messenger
- No mods with God complex
