The real difference.
How 21Sextury works

A recurring network membership that auto-renews, usually after a cheap trial.
How DDF Network works
DDF Network is a veteran European studio network covering many niches across its sites under one membership.
A recurring network membership that auto-renews, typically after a discounted first month.

Why people leave each.

A large but ageing catalogue, a monthly fee whether you watch or not, and no ownership once you leave.
How to cancel each.
Cancelling 21Sextury
Cancel via the billing provider on the membership; access runs to the end of the term.
Cancelling DDF Network
Cancel through the membership billing area; access lasts to the end of the paid period.
Note that cancelling one does nothing to the other, and neither cancellation refunds the term you have already paid for — it stops the next charge. That is the practical cost of running both at once, and the reason a single fixed payment is the only version of this with no diary entry attached.

Do I keep anything if I stop paying?
No. Both are rented access — everything you were paying for disappears when the subscription ends.
