Blacked Review 2026
Vixen Media Group's flagship interracial brand — polished on screen, opaque at checkout.
The short version
Blacked
Blacked looks as good as its reputation says it does, but Vixen Media Group won't publish what a standalone membership costs, and the billing setup gives you real reasons to read every line before you pay.

Blacked launched in May 2014 and it's the site that arguably set the visual template Vixen Media Group has built its whole identity around since: fashion-shoot lighting, matching photo sets, a consistent, expensive-looking house style applied to interracial scenes. It's part of Vixen Media Group, whose parent company is Strike 3 Holdings, sitting alongside sister brands Vixen, Tushy, Deeper and a handful of spin-offs like Blacked Raw and Tushy Raw.
Here's the part that's harder to like: we could not find a published standalone price for Blacked anywhere on the operator's own pages. The join flow is gated behind scripts our research tools couldn't get past, and every third-party figure we came across during this review conflicted with the next one — which is exactly why we're not repeating any of them here as fact.
What is confirmed is the other route in: the Vixen Plus bundle, which covers Blacked along with eight other VMG sites for $69. 95 a month or $599. 95 a year (working out to roughly $50 a month).
If a standalone Blacked price exists and is stable, VMG isn't publishing it where we could verify it.
Billing runs through a rotating cast of processor names — VXNBILL, EPOCH and SEGPAY all show up depending on the source — and cancellation goes through whichever of those handled your specific charge, not through blacked. com itself.
Reviewers also flag upsell checkboxes at signup that are easy to miss if you're moving quickly through checkout.
None of that erases what Blacked actually does well: the production is genuinely consistent, the art direction is deliberate rather than incidental, and being part of VMG means the Vixen Plus bundle is a real, well-defined way to get access if you're willing to commit to more than one of these brands at once.
Just go in accepting that you may not know your monthly cost until you're most of the way through checkout — and that a subscription here means dealing with a third party, not just the brand, if you ever want to stop.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Distinctive, consistently high-production visual style that's held up since the brand launched in 2014
- Reachable through the Vixen Plus bundle at a known, published price — $69.95/month or $599.95/year (about $50/month) for nine VMG sites including Blacked
- Deliberate art direction and matching photo sets rather than scene-only content
- Part of an established network (Vixen Media Group) rather than an unknown operator
Cons
- No verified standalone price anywhere we could find — the join page is script-gated and third-party figures conflict with each other
- Cancellation goes through a third-party biller (VXNBILL / EPOCH / SEGPAY), not through blacked.com directly
- Reviewers report easy-to-miss upsell checkboxes at signup
- Scene count, update frequency, resolution and device support are all unpublished
- Charges may appear under more than one processor name, making statement charges harder to identify at a glance
What Blacked actually is
Blacked is one of the founding brands of Vixen Media Group, launched in May 2014 with a clear visual thesis: shoot interracial scenes with the same fashion-editorial polish you'd expect from a glossy photo campaign, not a scene-based tube clip. That's the throughline across the brand's whole catalogue — locations that look chosen rather than convenient, matching stills alongside the video, and a house style that's stayed recognizably consistent since launch.
It sits inside Vixen Media Group, whose parent company is Strike 3 Holdings, alongside sister sites Vixen, Tushy, Deeper, Slayed, Milfy and Wifey, plus spin-off labels Blacked Raw and Tushy Raw that apply the same visual language without the same house rules. Blacked itself is the standalone site — a membership to it, in principle, gets you Blacked's catalogue and nothing else, distinct from Blacked Raw, which VMG treats as its own separate product within the wider bundle.
What you're buying, in plain terms, is one studio's specific aesthetic applied consistently across its output, backed by a production budget that shows on screen. What you're not necessarily buying, unless you go the bundle route covered in the pricing section, is access to any of Blacked's VMG siblings — Vixen and Tushy are separate memberships with their own billing, even though the visual family resemblance is obvious the moment you look at either one.
What you get for your money
We could not find a published scene count for Blacked, on the brand's own site or anywhere we'd treat as a reliable primary source, so that's N/A rather than a guess dressed up as research. The same goes for update frequency — no confirmed cadence, no 'new scenes every X days' figure we could stand behind.
What we can say with more confidence is the shape of the catalogue: a single, tightly themed brand that's been shooting consistently since 2014, which puts well over a decade of output behind it. VMG brands generally lean toward quality-over-quantity releases rather than high-volume daily uploads, which tracks with the production values the brand is known for — but we're not going to convert 'generally leans toward' into a specific number just to fill in a blank.
If what you want is one studio's very particular take on a narrow visual theme, done at a consistently high level, that's what a Blacked membership buys. If you want to browse broadly across many studios and styles, a single-brand membership like this isn't built for that, and the bundle route or a multi-studio aggregator will get you further per dollar.
Video quality, devices and everyday use
Resolution, VR availability, device apps and casting support are all N/A here — none of it is published anywhere on Blacked's own pages that we could verify, and we're not willing to borrow a number from a coupon site and present it as confirmed. What's driving Blacked's reputation isn't a spec sheet; it's the consistency of the shoot itself — lighting, direction and editing that reviewers and the wider VMG fanbase describe as a clear step above scene-based tube content.
That reputation is real and worth something, but it's a qualitative claim, not a technical one, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up with resolution numbers nobody's confirmed. If 4K playback or a specific device app matters to your decision, that's a question for Blacked's own support or checkout page before you pay, not something this review can answer for you.
One recurring theme in member feedback worth flagging here: signup pages reportedly carry checkbox-based upsells that are easy to click through without registering what you've agreed to. That's a checkout-flow issue rather than a video-quality one, but it belongs in the same 'read carefully before you commit' category.
Blacked pricing in plain English
Here's the honest version: we don't know what Blacked costs as a standalone subscription, and neither, as far as we can tell, does anyone publishing a reliable source. The join page is gated behind scripting that blocked every method available to us, and the specific dollar figures circulating on coupon and deal-aggregator sites contradicted each other closely enough, and diverged far enough from anything VMG itself publishes, that repeating any single one here would just be adding another wrong number to the pile.
So: standalone price is N/A, said plainly, not dressed up as an estimate.
What is confirmed, directly from Vixen Media Group's own bundle product, is this: Vixen Plus gets you Blacked plus eight other VMG sites — Vixen, Tushy, Blacked Raw, Tushy Raw, Deeper, Slayed, Milfy and Wifey — for $69. 95 a month, or $599.
95 for a full year, which works out to roughly $50 a month. That's the one number in this section we can actually stand behind.
Whether that makes financial sense depends entirely on whether you want just Blacked or would happily watch two or three of its siblings too. If it's the latter, the bundle is a known, defined price for known access.
If it's just Blacked specifically, you're currently buying into an unknown number, and the only way to find out what it is is to go through checkout yourself and see what appears — at which point you're no longer just window-shopping.
Is there a free trial?
We found no confirmed, current trial offer for Blacked standalone — that's N/A rather than a guess. If a trial exists at the moment you're reading this, its price and its rebill rate are exactly the kind of details that belong on the operator's own checkout page, and we'd rather point you there to check for yourself than repeat a number we can't back up.
General pattern worth knowing across VMG and similar subscription operators: intro offers are common, they usually convert automatically into a full recurring membership if you don't cancel first, and the rebill rate is sometimes higher than the plan's own standard monthly price rather than lower. None of that is confirmed specifically for Blacked, but it's a reasonable thing to check for before you type in a card number — read the actual renewal terms on the checkout page itself, not just the headline offer above it.
Discounts and how to actually save
There's no verified coupon code layer for Blacked that we're willing to point you toward. The one number we can actually confirm as a real discount route is the Vixen Plus bundle discussed in the pricing section — $599.
95 a year works out to roughly $50 a month against a $69. 95 monthly rate, which is a genuine saving if you're buying access to multiple VMG brands anyway.
Beyond that, we'd urge real caution around third-party 'exclusive discount' pages for Blacked specifically. We went looking for a reliable standalone figure during this review and simply couldn't find one that multiple independent sources agreed on, which means any percentage-off claim built on top of an unconfirmed base price is unreliable by definition — you can't calculate a real discount off a number nobody can verify.
If you want the one number that's actually solid, it's the bundle price above.
Billing, privacy and your card statement
Blacked's billing runs through Vixen Media Group's payment infrastructure, and the descriptor on your statement may show as VXNBILL, EPOCH or SEGPAY depending on which processor handled your particular transaction — VMG appears to route charges through more than one, which is worth knowing before you go hunting for a charge you don't immediately recognize.
If you see any of those three names on a statement and you've subscribed to a VMG brand, that's very likely where it came from.
Reviewers describe the checkout flow as carrying pre-selected or easy-to-miss upsell checkboxes, which is a pattern worth actively checking for rather than assuming won't apply to you — slow down on the payment page and actually read what each box says before you confirm.
What payment methods are accepted, and whether there's any cap on how the membership can be used across devices, are both N/A — not published anywhere we could verify, so don't assume your preferred payment method works until you're looking at the actual checkout screen.
How to cancel Blacked
Because Blacked's billing runs through a third-party processor rather than through blacked. com directly, cancellation goes through that processor, not the brand's own member area. Which processor applies to you depends on which descriptor — VXNBILL, EPOCH or SEGPAY — appears on your statement, so that's the first thing to check.
The general shape of the process, consistent with how third-party billers in this category typically operate: locate the processor's own member-login or billing-support page using the descriptor from your statement, sign in with the email and payment details you used to subscribe, and look for a subscription-management or 'stop recurring billing' option tied to your specific membership.
Confirm fully and keep any confirmation email you receive as your record.
We don't have a confirmed, brand-specific step-by-step for Blacked's exact cancellation flow beyond that general pattern, and we're not going to invent one. What we can say plainly: don't expect to cancel through blacked.
com's own account settings alone, and don't wait until the day of renewal to start looking for the right page.
We deliberately place no paid link in this section.
Who Blacked is right for — and who should skip it
Blacked makes sense if the specific visual style is what draws you and you're comfortable committing without knowing the exact standalone monthly cost going in — or if you're already planning to want more than one VMG brand, in which case the Vixen Plus bundle turns an unknown number into a known $69. 95 a month or roughly $50 a month annually.
It's a reasonable pick for anyone who values consistent, deliberate production over sheer catalogue size, and who's willing to read checkout screens carefully rather than clicking through on autopilot.
Who should skip it: anyone who wants to know the exact price before they start the signup process — that information simply isn't published for Blacked standalone, and you'll need to reach checkout to find out. Anyone uncomfortable with billing running through a third-party processor rather than the brand itself, since that's also where cancellation happens.
And anyone who wants pricing transparency as a baseline requirement — for that, the alternatives below are the better starting point.

Alternatives worth a look
| If you want… | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A published, verifiable price before you commit to anything | Adult Time | Every figure on Adult Time's plans is published and consistent across sources — $9.95/month or $4.95/month annually — which is the opposite experience of trying to price out Blacked standalone. |
| Director-led, high-production content with transparent annual pricing and no pre-checked upsells | Evil Angel | Evil Angel explicitly promises no pre-checked cross-sales at checkout and publishes a confirmed $10.95/month annual rate with downloads included — a useful contrast to Blacked's opaque signup flow. |
| Downloads you own outright, on a confirmed price | Bang.com | Bang.com publishes its $29.95/month rate plainly and lets you keep downloaded files permanently, which sidesteps both the pricing uncertainty and the third-party-biller cancellation friction that come with a VMG brand like Blacked. |
