If you’re looking at OnlyFans and Fansly downloaders, StreamFork and Fanripper come up a lot. Both are Chromium extensions for Chrome, Brave and Edge, both now run on iPhone through Expo Go, and both can save DRM-protected video, the kind plain downloaders choke on. So which one fits you? This is an honest, side-by-side look. StreamFork is the more established name and had a phone app before we did, and we’ll give it full credit for that. The real differences are how many sites each covers, how each handles big protected files, how you set it up on Android, how many devices a plan covers, and price.
What both tools do well
It’s worth saying up front that StreamFork and Fanripper share a lot of DNA. Neither is a sketchy “paste a link” website that uploads your account somewhere — they work through the session you’re already logged into, in your browser or in their app. Both can pull photos, standard videos, and DRM-protected videos from posts and messages, and both are built for personal backups of content you have lawful, paid access to.
If you’ve never used a DRM-capable extension before, our pillar guide on the OnlyFans video downloader walks through how decryption actually happens locally in your browser. The short version: the hard part isn’t grabbing the file, it’s handling the encryption that platforms wrap around premium video — and both of these tools do that. For the DRM specifics on their own, see our DRM downloader guide.
Where the two differ
The meaningful differences show up in large files, phones (covered in their own section below), and how each tool handles your login and your data.
Large files and Chrome flags. Per StreamFork’s own documentation, its DRM downloads can fail on larger videos, and it asks you to enable experimental WebAssembly flags in Chrome to push past that limit. That’s a real friction point if you collect long, high-bitrate clips — and digging into chrome://flags is something a lot of people would rather avoid. Fanripper was built specifically to handle videos of any size cleanly, with no experimental flags and no special browser setup. This is the single biggest practical gap between the two.
Saving from DMs. A lot of premium content lives in direct messages, not the feed. Fanripper drops its save button right into chats, so a DM photo or video is one click — exactly like anywhere else. It also works off what your browser has already loaded as you read, rather than firing its own queries at the platform’s API, which keeps its footprint closer to ordinary browsing.
Know before you buy. Locked pay-per-view posts hide how long the video actually is. Fanripper surfaces the real duration of locked PPV videos right on the post, so you can tell whether you’re about to pay for a ten-second teaser or a proper clip — before you spend a cent.
Login and data handling. The Fanripper extension never asks for your OnlyFans or Fansly password — it works through your existing logged-in session — and in the app you sign in on the site’s own page. Either way, video is decrypted and saved on your own device and never passes through our servers. Fanripper also paces downloads to look like normal human browsing, which is lower-risk than aggressive scraping (though no tool can promise you’ll never be flagged).
On iPhone and Android
Both tools now run on iPhone the same way: inside Expo Go, a free app from the App Store, opened from a link or a QR code on the maker’s own site. StreamFork got there first, and that deserves credit. Here’s how the two compare on a phone today, with StreamFork’s side taken from its own pages.
- Sites. Fanripper’s app covers five: OnlyFans, Fansly, JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix. StreamFork’s app page says it “supports OnlyFans and Fansly on mobile.”
- Big protected videos. The same StreamFork page says DRM content “is limited to 500 MB on mobile.” Fanripper’s app sets no size limit of its own on protected video; what it needs is free space on the phone, about twice the video’s size, while it works.
- Android setup. Fanripper runs in Expo Go from Google Play, so there’s no APK and no “unknown sources” switch. StreamFork offers a direct APK (“No Play Store needed”), and its install steps say to allow installation from unknown sources if prompted. Its older Android guide still walks through Kiwi Browser, which its developer stopped maintaining in January 2025 and pulled from Google Play.
- Closing a page. StreamFork’s app page says tapping ✕ in its toolbar means “Page closes, downloads stop” (its back arrow keeps them going in a floating window). In Fanripper, saves go to the app’s own download list, so closing a site page doesn’t stop them. Leave the app and they pause, then carry on from the last finished piece when you come back.
- Devices. Every Fanripper plan covers one computer and one phone at the same time (two of each on monthly Max, one of each on Lifetime), and signing in on the phone never signs out the computer. StreamFork’s pricing page lists “One active device at a time” on Basic and two on Professional and Unlimited.
- Price for protected video. $5 a month on Fanripper; $10 a month for DRM on StreamFork (its pricing page, October 2026).
Setting Fanripper up takes a couple of minutes: install Expo Go, open fanripper.com/app on your phone and tap Open Fanripper. The step-by-step versions are in our iPhone guide and Android guide.

Pricing and plans, compared
Fanripper lists its prices openly:
- Free — unlimited photo and standard-video downloads, forever.
- Basic — $5/month — adds DRM-protected video.
- Pro — $8/month — adds bulk (whole-post and whole-profile).
- Max — $15/month — adds JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix, on two computers and two phones.
- Unlimited — $40 for 6 months, or Lifetime — $99 once (every site, for good).
Paid plans bill in crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH, USDC) or Telegram Stars — no card, no KYC — and nothing auto-renews. On a computer you buy inside the extension; from a phone, at app.fanripper.com or in our Telegram bot, @fanripperbot. The app itself has no in-app purchase: sign in with the same email and your plan is already there.
StreamFork uses a one-time-per-duration model (pay for, say, a month, with no auto-renewal) across Free, Basic, Professional (“Most Popular”) and Unlimited tiers. Per its own pricing page: Free does not include DRM; Basic is $10/month (one active device); Professional is $20/month (adds bulk plus a second active device); and Unlimited is $50 for 6 months. Two active devices on its middle tier is a genuine point in StreamFork’s favor if you use two computers. Its bulk download, again per its docs, covers “loaded media only” and asks you to scroll manually to load more.
Lined up tier for tier, Fanripper comes in at roughly half the price — and it’s the only one of the two with a true lifetime option:
| Plan | Fanripper | StreamFork |
|---|---|---|
| Free (no DRM) | $0 | $0 |
| DRM unlock | $5 / mo | $10 / mo |
| Bulk downloads | $8 / mo | $20 / mo |
| 6 months | $40 | $50 |
| Lifetime | $99 once | not offered |
(StreamFork’s Basic plan is one active device; Professional and Unlimited are two. Every Fanripper plan covers a computer and a phone at the same time, and monthly Max covers two of each.)
Two practical differences worth weighing:
- Bulk is hands-off in Fanripper. It auto-scrolls the feed to find everything, then queues it — you don’t babysit the page. StreamFork’s bulk grabs what’s already loaded and leaves the scrolling to you.
- Devices. Fanripper gives the phone its own slot, so one plan covers your computer and your phone side by side. StreamFork counts active devices: one on Basic, two on Professional and Unlimited. If you want two computers on a mid-priced plan, factor that in.
If you back up entire creators at once, the bulk profile download guide explains how Fanripper’s auto-scroll and pacing work.
So which should you choose?
Be honest about your use case:
- Pick StreamFork if you want two computers on one mid-priced plan, or its app’s option to filter a bulk download by video length, and most of your files are on the smaller side.
- Pick Fanripper if you regularly save large videos, don’t want to touch experimental Chrome flags, want JustForFans, privacy.com.br or Fanfix as well as OnlyFans and Fansly, or want a phone app that installs from Google Play rather than an APK — and would rather pay roughly half the price, with a one-time lifetime option on the table.
There’s no “loser” here — these are different trade-offs. For big-file reliability without setup hassle, and for more sites on your phone, Fanripper is the stronger choice; StreamFork’s longer record on phones is real and worth weighing.
FAQ
Does StreamFork work on iPhone?
Yes. Per its app page, you install Expo Go from the App Store, tap the StreamFork link or scan its QR code (no Expo login required), then log in to your OnlyFans account and tap the download button. The same page says DRM content is limited to 500 MB on mobile.
Does StreamFork work on Android?
Yes, as a direct APK from its own site rather than from Google Play; its steps say to allow installation from unknown sources if your phone asks. Its older Android guide uses Kiwi Browser, which is no longer maintained.
Is Fanripper on iPhone and Android too?
Yes. It runs inside Expo Go on both, installed from the App Store or Google Play, with no APK. Open fanripper.com/app on your phone, tap Open Fanripper, and sign in with your email. It saves from OnlyFans, Fansly, JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix right on the phone.
Can I use one Fanripper plan on my computer and my phone?
Yes. The phone has its own device slot, so the app and the extension work side by side on one account and plan: one computer and one phone on most plans, two of each on monthly Max. Signing in on the phone never signs out the computer.
One reminder, said once: tools like these are for backing up content you’ve lawfully paid to access, for your own use — not for redistribution.
If any-size videos and a no-flags setup sound like your situation, you can try Fanripper free and add DRM or bulk later. On a computer, head to the install page to load it in a couple of minutes; on a phone, open fanripper.com/app. The team is reachable on Telegram if you get stuck.
