Might take a couple months to get their money back so you're talking about 50-150k budget, not 1 or 2 millions.
Also please post examples of those sites if you know any...
I'd say AFF cost a lot ot build over time, but it also brought in a lot of revenues so I wonder what kind of budget they started it with.
I'd say dating and cam sites would cost the most(from the programming standpoint).

A monster site would budget 1-2 million a year in content & startup - nobody would spend that much on content monthly on one site. If you plan on going that big, a huge startup cost would be hosting, the staff to process that much content, video machines, ect ect... easily spending 1-2 million to try and start big.
Hanco, wasn't it? They spend/lost millions trying to go big from the start.
I spend $30-$50k to open paysites, that's a shit load more than a few scenes. I make my money from the content in a lot of areas other than the paysite directly.
But I'm a small fish when you have plenty of sites that spend that much on just monthly updates. So, of course the budget for the site is easily over 1-2 million.
Marketing costs is probably least expensive part of a paysite/program.
