When we rank creators in our best fanvue roundups, we don’t just eyeball it or play favorites.

We use four clear criteria to score every creator as fairly as possible:

  • Custom Content
  • Content Variety
  • Effort Level
  • Popularity

Each of these categories is worth the same amount of points. As you can see in the chart below, every category contributes 25% of the total score.

Our Fanvue Creator Scoring System

Every creator featured in our FanVue rankings is reviewed using the exact same criteria.

This is important for one reason: fairness.
By scoring everyone the same way, we keep our rankings consistent, transparent, and easy to understand.

Each creator’s final score is built from four categories. Below is how each one works.

Easy conversion: the score is out of 10 points, but we show it as a rating out of 5. So we turn points into stars by cutting it in half.

Examples:

10 points5 / 5

Custom Content

Custom Content is a simple yes or no score.

We look at whether a creator is willing to make custom content for fans, such as personalized photos, videos, or requests.

  • Yes → The creator openly offers custom content
  • No → The creator does not offer custom content

This matters because fans are not all looking for the same thing. Creators who offer custom content are generally more approachable and willing to engage directly with their audience, which adds real value for fans.


Content Variety

Content Variety is scored on three levels: Low, Medium, or High.

We focus on how diverse a creator’s content actually is — not how often they post.

  • Low
    The content is very similar across posts. Same poses, same outfits, same setting, and little visual change.
  • Medium
    The creator has a clear niche or theme, but there is still some variation. This might include different outfits, angles, or concepts within a consistent style.
  • High
    The creator shows strong variety across their content. This includes different outfits, environments, poses, moods, or content styles. The feed feels dynamic rather than repetitive.

This score is about range and creativity, not volume.


Effort Level

Effort Level measures how much care and consistency goes into the content.

This is not subjective — we look for visible signals of effort.

  • Low
    Inconsistent posting, minimal production value, rushed or low-quality content, or long gaps between uploads.
  • Medium
    Regular posting with decent quality. Content is planned, but production value or consistency may vary.
  • High
    Clear effort across the board. Consistent posting schedule, well-produced content, good lighting, intentional framing, and a noticeable level of planning and polish.

In short, this score reflects how much work is clearly being put into the page.


Popularity

Popularity is based on total likes on Fanvue. This score reflects how much engagement a creator is getting from fans.

We break it into three clear tiers:

  • Low (0 – 2,999 likes)
    The creator has limited engagement so far. This is common for newer or less active accounts.
  • Medium (3,000 – 7,999 likes)
    The creator shows solid engagement and a growing fanbase. At this level, content is clearly resonating with fans.
  • High (8,000+ likes)
    The creator has strong engagement and consistent fan interaction. Content performs well and attracts a larger audience.

This score is purely engagement-based — it does not reflect content quality on its own, only how fans are responding.


Final Notes on Our Rankings

While our creator rankings are built using objective data and clear criteria, there will always be a small amount of human judgment involved.

Some categories — like Effort Level — can naturally be interpreted slightly differently. What one editor considers medium effort, another might reasonably view as low or high. We do our best to stay consistent, but no rating system is ever 100% perfect.

If you ever notice a result that feels inaccurate or outdated, we genuinely want to hear about it. You can reach us anytime through our Contact Us page, and our editorial team will review it.

Why Rankings May Change Over Time

Creator rankings are not static.

At Fanviewmodels.com, we are constantly reviewing and updating creator profiles — including both real creators and AI models.

Popularity can change quickly. A creator might suddenly gain traction, receive more engagement, or become more active on the platform. When that happens, their Popularity score increases, which can impact their overall ranking.

That’s why every creator page shows a “last updated” date. It lets readers know when the profile was most recently reviewed and ensures rankings stay as current and accurate as possible.

In short, our goal is simple: keep rankings fair, up to date, and useful for fans.
