FAQ

How does Kick's 95/5 revenue split work?

Kick takes 5% of subscription revenue. So a $5 Tier 1 sub = $4.75 to streamer. Compare to Twitch's 50/50 ($2.50) or 70/30 partner ($3.50). On 100 subs, Kick = $475/mo vs Twitch = $250-$350/mo.

Are sponsorship rates really $1-5 per concurrent viewer per hour?

Yes — industry standard 2026. Brand managers pay based on actual reach. 100 CCV × 4-hour stream × $2/CCV = $800 per sponsored stream. Premium verticals (energy, gear, lifestyle) tend toward the higher end.

Does community automation really add 20% sub growth?

Range is 10-30% depending on baseline. Smaller channels see bigger % gains (engagement matters more when audience is small). Larger channels see smaller % but bigger absolute $ gains. Either way, $150-$300/mo automation pays back fast.

What if I don't use Discord?

Most successful streamers in 2026 do. Discord is where converted viewers go to stay. Without it, you're leaving 30-50% of repeat-viewer engagement on the table.
