The AWC Price Index
What does the adult web actually charge? This is the median price of a subscription across the sites Adult Web Census prices directly — not advertised “from” teasers but the real recurring amount, read from each site’s join flow and normalised to US dollars. The median (not the average) is used so a few outliers can’t skew it, and every figure is reported with the number of sites it rests on.
Paying annually rather than monthly is a median 67% cheaper across sites offering both — the annual plan (median $119.99) versus twelve monthly payments ($29.99 × 12 = $359.88).

Basket = the adult sites whose recurring price we currently measure (a small, hand-built set, stated above; it is not the whole industry). Prices are USD-normalised by rendering each join flow through a US IP; non-USD readings are excluded, never converted. See the full pricing detail and methodology. Index recorded 2026-10-08.
