Kick Subscription Cost: Price, Mobile vs Browser, And How The Split Works

Quick Answer

A Kick subscription costs $4.99 USD (or the local currency equivalent) when you subscribe through Kick. Kick’s help center states the base subscription price is $4.99 and that subs are available for Kick Affiliates and Kick Partners.

Kick also advertises a 95/5 subscription revenue split (streamers keep 95%).
That means a streamer earns about $4.74 from a $4.99 sub (4.99 × 0.95), before any taxes/fees that can vary by country and payment method.

One important catch: in-app subscriptions can be more expensive because Apple/Google mobile purchases often include extra platform fees. For example, the Kick iOS App Store listing shows in-app subscription purchases at $6.49 for some items/channels.

How Much Are Kick Subs?

The “Normal” Price (Web / Desktop)

• $4.99 USD (or your local equivalent)

The “App” Price (iOS / Android)

• Often higher than $4.99 due to in-app purchase fees and regional pricing.
• Example: iOS listing shows $6.49 for a subscription purchase item.

Practical takeaway: if you’re trying to support a streamer for the lowest price, subscribe on desktop/browser first, not inside the app.

How Much Does A Streamer Make Per Kick Sub?

Kick’s public pitch is simple: 95% to the creator, 5% to Kick.

So the clean math looks like this:

• $4.99 sub → streamer gets about $4.74
• Formula: Sub Price × 0.95

Here’s a quick table (using the base $4.99 price Kick lists):

Notes:

• This is subscription revenue only (not ads, gifts, tips, partner incentives, etc.).
• Your real-world net can vary with taxes, currency conversion, and payment processing.

Are Kick Subscriptions Available For Every Streamer?

No. Kick states channel subscriptions are only available to Kick Affiliates and Kick Partners.

If you’re a streamer trying to unlock the sub button, Kick’s help center says creators become eligible through their “Path to Creator” and notes: “Creators are Kick content creators who have streamed for 5 hours.”

FAQ

Does Kick Have Tier 2 / Tier 3 Subscriptions?

Kick’s own documentation frames subscriptions as a single $4.99 product (not multi-tiered like Twitch).
Some third-party tools also describe Kick as having one standard subscription level right now.

Why Do Some People Pay More Than $4.99?

Most of the time it’s because they subscribed inside the mobile app, where in-app purchase pricing can be higher (Apple/Google fees + regional pricing). The iOS App Store listing shows subscription purchase items priced above $4.99 in some cases.

Is The 95/5 Split Real?

Kick publicly markets a 95/5 subscription split.
Your actual “take home” can still vary due to things like taxes and payment processing.
