| # Luvs Creator Price Index |
|
|
| Monthly aggregate statistics on subscription pricing and discounting in the |
| subscription creator economy, measured from publicly visible profile data on |
| subscription platforms (OnlyFans and similar). One row per calendar month. |
|
|
| Each release reports the mean and median price actually charged after every |
| discount in effect, the mean advertised list price measured on the same |
| profiles, the share of priced profiles running a discount, the share of those |
| discounts running 90 days or more without a break, the median discount depth, |
| and the number of priced profiles the row was computed on. |
|
|
| Aggregates only: no usernames, no identifiers, no row that describes one |
| person, and a minimum of 15 profiles behind any published breakdown. A release |
| is frozen when the month closes; corrections are published openly in the |
| changelog, never applied silently. |
|
|
| ## Columns |
|
|
| | Column | Type | Meaning | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `month` | YYYY-MM | The calendar month the row describes | |
| | `avg_price_real` | USD | Mean price actually charged, after discounts | |
| | `avg_price_advertised` | USD | Mean list price, measured on the same profiles | |
| | `median_price_real` | USD | Median charged price | |
| | `pct_on_discount` | fraction 0 to 1 | Share of priced profiles running a discount | |
| | `pct_discount_over_90d` | fraction 0 to 1 | Of those, the share running 90 days or more without a break | |
| | `median_discount_depth` | fraction 0 to 1 | Median share off the advertised price | |
| | `price_sample_n` | integer | Priced profiles the row was computed on (sample size) | |
|
|
| An empty cell means the value was not computable for that month. It never means |
| zero. |
