Nearby Only Review NEW
Nearby Only is a new OnlyFans search engine, launched in 2026, that presents itself as a free viewer for previewing creator profiles. Its plain search is among the most accurate we tested, with 9/10 on both queries. But there are no filters, sorting or autocomplete, profile data is refreshed irregularly, and its ads carry no label.

Full review
What Nearby Only is
Nearby Only launched in 2026. It calls itself an OnlyFans viewer and finder: you preview a creator’s bio, content stats and price before subscribing, and browse by category, location or popularity. The homepage opens on creators near your detected location. It also has two unusual extras, a “Battle” page where you pick between two creators and a ranking page, and it isn’t clear how they work or how many people use them.
Search quality
Both test queries returned 9 relevant results out of 10. The detailed query is where it stands out, since the average across all 45 engines is 4/10 there (6/10 for the simple one). Natural language search worked in our test.
Features
Beyond the search box there’s little to work with. Location search and natural language search worked, and you can save creators with a free account. There are no filters, no sorting, no autocomplete, no image search and no feed, and results only show as a grid. It earns 3 of 11 feature points. The site says you can “filter the directory”; we found no filters on the results page.
Data
Nearby Only says it has 730,000+ indexed profiles, which scores 2 points for size. We couldn’t verify the figure from the results. Profile details we compared with live OnlyFans pages were refreshed irregularly.
Ads and pricing
Search is free, and the site says there’s no paywall, signup or premium tier; you only need an account to save creators. Ads appear among the results without an “Ad” or “Sponsored” label, which costs 2 points. We found no advertising offer for creators, so Nearby Only isn’t in our creator ranking, but it does offer a free profile listing and a DMCA page.
Speed and usability
Design and usability are average: simple, with few options to learn. PageSpeed Insights scored the homepage 98 on mobile and 99 on desktop.
Audience and engagement
Similarweb estimates about 77,000 visits a month, mostly from the US. 61% come from organic search, 26% direct and 9% from social media, with 4% from adult sites. The bounce rate is 43%, with 3 pages and 1 minute per visit. It earns 4 of 12 audience points; its volume earns 1 of 5.
Who it’s for
Fans who type what they want in plain words and don’t need filters or extras. If unlabeled ads bother you, SpicyRush (#4, 64) scored 10/10 on both queries and shows no ads, though it has no location search.
Advertising on Nearby Only
Nearby Only doesn’t sell ads, so it isn’t in our creator ranking. Creators can add a profile for free.
