Kick Sub Prices: How Much Is a Sub on Kick?
A Kick subscription costs $4.99 USD per month — one flat tier, no Tier 2 or Tier 3. Gifted subs cost the same $4.99 each, and streamers keep 95% of every sub thanks to Kick's 95/5 revenue split.
The short version
One sub = $4.99. The streamer receives about $4.74 of it. 100 gifted subs = $499, of which the streamer keeps roughly $474. That payout is far higher than Twitch's, where a standard 50/50 split leaves the streamer about $3.00 per $5.99 Tier 1 sub.

What do you get for subscribing?
A Kick sub is primarily a way to support a streamer, but it comes with concrete perks:
- 1Subscriber badge: A sub badge appears next to your username in the streamer's chat, marking you as a supporter.
- 2Custom emotes: Access to the streamer's custom subscriber emotes — usable across all of Kick chat, not just the channel you subscribed to.
- 3Sub-only chat access: When a streamer enables subscriber-only mode, only subs can send messages.
- 4Streamer-specific perks: Some streamers add extra benefits (Discord roles, giveaways, priority games) — these vary by channel and are usually listed in the About section.
Note what a sub does not include: ad removal. Subscriptions on Kick support the creator directly rather than acting as a premium platform tier.
How much of a Kick sub goes to the streamer?
Kick's headline creator policy is the 95/5 subscription revenue split: the streamer keeps 95 cents of every subscription dollar, and Kick takes 5. From a $4.99 sub, that works out to about $4.74 for the streamer and roughly $0.25 for the platform.
The 95/5 split applies to subscription revenue — it does not automatically cover sponsorships, off-platform donations, or ad revenue. For the full picture of streamer income on the platform, see our guide on how much Kick pays streamers.
