FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

Calculator outputs are estimates. Each Q below names the source data and the assumptions baked in.

Why isn't platform audience size factored in?

The comparator answers a single question: same audience, different splits, who pays more? Audience size differs by 10x+ between Twitch and Kick (140M vs 10M MAU); modelling that requires migration-conversion math which depends on the streamer's individual brand strength. Once you know the per-audience answer, factor in your own conversion rate to get the absolute number.

Why is YouTube Live's sub rate $3.49?

YouTube Memberships pay creators 70% of net membership revenue on web checkout. On a $4.99 Membership, after YouTube's 30%, the creator gets ~$3.49. iOS app-store Memberships net ~$2.45 after Apple's 30% IAP fee on top.

Why is TikTok's cheer rate so low?

TikTok Coins lose value through two stacked layers. First, the viewer pays for Coins (Apple/Google takes 30% on iOS/Android). Second, TikTok converts Coins received as gifts to Diamonds at roughly 1:0.5 (the platform keeps about half) and Diamonds redeem at $0.005 each. Net effective rate: about $0.0025 per Coin received as a gift.

What is Trovo's actual sub split?

Trovo's standard sub split is 50%, the same as Twitch Affiliate. The 70% figure that gets quoted is the Partner-tier rate, available only to invited Partners. Use the "Trovo tier" toggle on the Trovo row to switch.

What's the difference between Twitch Partner and Partner Plus?

Twitch retired the legacy 70/30 contractual Partner split for new Partners in January 2024. The current Plus Program gives 60/40 at 100 Plus Points and 70/30 at 300 Plus Points (no $100K cap — that cap was removed January 2024).

What about Rumble?

Rumble doesn't publish a per-sub revenue split. They pay revenue share on ad and tip income but rates aren't standardised (60/40 ad split is the public reference for the 2025 Creator Program). We've excluded it from the comparator until Rumble publishes per-sub economics.
