Obsydian vs Fanmour

Fanmour bets on surviving a ban. Obsydian bets on protecting what you post in the first place.

★★★★★ Loved by privacy-first creators
Overview

What is Fanmour?

Fanmour auto-imports an existing link-in-bio page (Linktree, AllMyLinks, or a Reddit profile) and rebuilds it for you, then layers on an "owned audience" model: fans tap to connect via an anonymous account independent of any platform, so a ban doesn't sever the connection. Its stated monetisation is paid, end-to-end encrypted DMs — fans pay to message, the creator earns when they reply — plus a credits system that cross-promotes pages across its creator network.

We're biased — but honest.

Fanmour solves a real fear — losing your audience to a ban — by owning the follow relationship outside any platform, which Obsydian doesn't attempt. The trade-off is what it doesn't do: no watermarking, no metadata scrubbing, no leak tracing, so content itself is unprotected. Its end-to-end encrypted paid DMs are also framed as "no content to moderate" — which cuts against, not for, a platform handling paid messages, since app stores and payment processors generally expect a service to be able to detect and act on abuse. Obsydian takes the opposite approach: content protection is the product, and encryption choices (like the media vault) are made so abuse reports can still be acted on.

The honest take

Fanmour: pros & cons

What Fanmour does well

  • Auto-imports an existing link-in-bio page instead of a manual rebuild
  • Fan "connect" accounts are portable across a ban — no re-follow needed
  • Paid DMs built in as a monetisation layer
  • Cross-promotion credits system for discovery within its creator network

Where it falls short

  • No watermarking, invisible tagging, or metadata scrubbing — nothing protects content if it leaks
  • No leak tracing or DMCA support
  • End-to-end encrypted paid DMs mean no built-in moderation of message content — a real compliance question for payment processors and app stores, not just a privacy feature
  • No public pricing for its paid-DM take rate

Choose Obsydian if…

  • You want the content you post protected at the source — watermarked, EXIF/GPS-stripped, traceable if it leaks
  • You want a platform that can act on abuse reports rather than one that structurally can't see message content
  • You'd rather not build a paid-messaging business on top of your link page

Stick with Fanmour if…

  • Your top priority is an audience that survives a platform ban, over content protection
  • You specifically want paid DMs as a revenue stream from your bio page
Questions

Obsydian vs Fanmour, answered

Is Obsydian the same as Fanmour?
No — different problems. Fanmour focuses on keeping your audience if a platform bans you, via portable "connect" accounts and paid DMs. Obsydian focuses on protecting the content you post — watermarking, EXIF/GPS scrubbing, and leak tracing — so it doesn't get stolen or reposted untraceably in the first place.
Does Obsydian offer paid DMs like Fanmour?
No, Obsydian isn't a messaging platform. If Fanmour's audience-portability and paid-DM model is what you need, some creators may use both — Fanmour for the follower relationship, Obsydian for content protection and the page itself.
What does Obsydian add over Fanmour?
Visible and invisible watermarking, always-on EXIF/GPS removal, an on-device video scrubber, and leak tracing — none of which Fanmour offers, since its focus is audience portability and monetised messaging rather than protecting the content you share.
