Perlage Studios vs Lumina Connect: published terms compared
Perlage Studios (#3, 6.9/10, United States): A Florida-registered agency with a team in Austria that publishes the basis of its commission, net after the platform's 20%, but not the percentage, which it agrees on the strategy call. Creator-held login, payouts to the creator's own bank, month to month with no notice period and nothing upfront, and a monthly target in the contract under which its share for a missed month is $0. Post-exit commission and content ownership are not stated as its own terms. Lumina Connect (#5, 6.2/10, Germany): Lumina Connect publishes the structural terms in plain sentences: the creator keeps the login on her own email and password, platform payouts land in her bank account, no upfront fees, no lock-in, leak removal included. Withholds the commission rate for the call and has no public contract text.
Perlage Studios ranks higher on published terms: what each agency prints on its own site and a creator can check before the first call.
Perlage Studios: A creator who wants the basis, the login and the exit settled in writing and a target clause in the agreement, and who accepts learning the percentage on the call. Not for a creator who wants the rate in writing before any call.
Lumina Connect: A creator who wants to sign off on every post before it goes out and values that over knowing the rate before the first call.

Last checked 1 October 2026, under methodology v1.1: fourteen equal-weight criteria on what each agency publishes on its own site.

Published terms side by side
| Term | Perlage Studios | Lumina Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Not published: "The exact percentage depends on the scope of services and is agreed on the strategy call rather than published here" | Withheld: "anyone who quotes you a percentage before seeing your account is guessing. On the call we break the split down transparently" |
| Basis | Net: "calculated on net revenue, meaning what OnlyFans actually pays out after the platform has taken its own 20%" | Not published |
| Minimum term | None: "the arrangement is month to month" | None: "No lock-in, no exit penalties ... you can leave any day" |
| Notice period | None: "Either side can end it at the end of any month, with no notice period" | Not published; "Terms and notice are agreed in writing before you start" |
| Commission after exit | None: "Perlage has no exit fee and nothing to pay after the contract ends" (glossary) | Not published; "No exit clauses, no leftovers" |
| Upfront cost | None: "No setup fee, no exit fee, no monthly retainer, no chatter costs, no ad spend billed to the creator" | None: "No upfront fees. Commission only. If you do not earn, we do not earn." |
| Who holds the login | Creator: "Password and 2FA stay with the creator from the first day to the last. Perlage never holds the login." | Creator: "Your accounts stay in your name, on your email, with your password. We work through access you grant and can revoke." |
| Where payouts go | Direct: "OnlyFans pays out to a bank account in the creator's own name. Perlage never holds or routes the money." | Direct: "Platform payouts land in your bank account, not ours - our commission is settled afterwards" |
| Content ownership | Not stated as a term | Creator, as a homepage statement: "Login, content and fans stay in your name"; no contract text |
| Binding agreement public | No | No. There is no terms page and no contract text; "Terms and notice are agreed in writing before you start." |
