Transparency comparison of adult entertainment websites 2026
Before registering, a consumer asks who really runs the service, whether the account can be deleted themselves, whether the service helps prevent children's access, and whether the terms can be read in Finnish. These decide 50 points out of a hundred.

Notes
The comparison measures only what the services themselves say on their own pages: who runs the service, account deletion, child lock guidance and the language of the terms. Content, performers or prices are not compared, because three of the six services are free and the prices are not comparable.
OnlyFans blocks automated reading with bot protection, so it was not scored. Missing information gets 0 points for that motive, and the reason is shown on the row.
About this comparison
We scored 6 international adult entertainment services on 19 metrics. The key question: are the subscription price, right of cancellation and the owner of the service visible before you hand over your data or money?
Adult entertainment sites are almost without exception international platforms whose pricing and ownership information is buried in privacy or terms-of-use documents rather than on the front page. The comparison measures whether the subscription price, the right of cancellation and the company behind the service can be found before you hand over your data or money.
What transparency means in this category
Monthly price of the subscription in euros or dollars shown before registration (30), subscription cancellation procedure stated clearly (20), owning company or the brand's parent company stated on the site (15), age verification (18+) and age limit stated on the site (15), customer support or contact details findable (10), GDPR or privacy notice directly available (10)
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
Ownership: Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube and Brazzers are all owned by Aylo Holdings LLC (formerly MindGeek, Montréal, Canada) and have been counted once as Pornhub. We show the owner for each service.
The comparison measures the measurable features of the services' public websites: price before registering, cancellation procedure, age verification and data protection. The quality of content or the selection of performers is not the object of measurement. Some of the links may be advertising links; they do not affect the scores.
Comparison guide
What to consider in the comparison
Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube and Brazzers are all owned by Aylo Holdings LLC (formerly MindGeek, Montréal, Canada), and are counted once, as Pornhub.
Most services use token-based pricing (LiveJasmin, Stripchat), where purchase prices are only visible after logging in.
OnlyFans subscription prices are set by individual content creators, so the service has no uniform monthly price.
Cloudflare bot protection limits the collection of measurement data from an anonymous user on some services (OnlyFans); this is recorded visibly as a measurement gap.
The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) requires international platforms to appoint a registered representative in the EU, but the details are not always clearly visible to consumers.
How Suomen Paras assesses and scores
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Expert tips
Check the owning company in the service's privacy notice before registering, it is the only place where the information is certain to be found.
When using a token-based service, find out the euro price of the tokens before buying, as package sizes vary.
If a service does not show the right of cancellation or the order terms before registration, favour services where this information is openly visible.
Age verification has tightened at EU level; a service's clear 18+ notice and verified age restriction are, for the consumer, a sign of a more responsible operator.
Frequently asked questions
What does Suomen Paras measure in the comparison of adult entertainment sites?
The comparison measures six transparency items that can be observed on the service's public pages before registration: monthly subscription price, right of cancellation, owning company, age verification, contact details and privacy notice. We do not assess the content.
Why do some services have a 'measurement gap'?
Cloudflare bot protection or similar protection prevents automatic data collection; in this case we record the gap visibly rather than guess the information. The gap affects the scores, because the information is not visible to an anonymous user.
Why does Pornhub represent the Aylo group and not the other sites in the same group?
Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube and Brazzers are all owned by Aylo Holdings LLC (formerly MindGeek). Listing the group as four separate entries would give a misleading picture of the diversity of the market, so it is counted once.
Is using adult entertainment websites safe in terms of personal data?
The comparison does not assess the level of data security technically, it only measures whether a privacy policy is publicly available. Services operating in the EU are subject to the GDPR; the absence of a representative is a data protection risk.
