How much is
a Kick sub?

How much is a Kick sub? $5, with no tiers

Kick's help center says subscriptions are "a flat $5 USD per month, in every country we support" (article updated 16 July 2026). There are no tiers: one sub, one price, which Kick says "means every subscriber contributes the same support".

A sub renews every month until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next charge, and you keep the perks until the month you paid for ends. What the $5 gets you on that channel:

• A sub badge next to your name in the channel's chat, which changes as the months add up.
• The channel's sub emotes, usable in any chat on Kick.
• Entry to sub only chat when the streamer turns it on, plus any extras the streamer offers, like a Discord server.

It does not remove ads: Kick says the ad experience is the same with or without a sub. Kick takes cards through Stripe and lists PayPal, Cash App, Amazon Pay and Google or Apple Pay where available.

One older page disagrees. Kick's "How to subscribe" article (updated 22 May 2026) still says a sub costs $4.99. Every newer Kick page, including its revenue split page of 27 August 2026, says $5, so this guide uses $5.

The iPhone app costs more. Kick's App Store listing shows a Tier 1 sub at $6.49, 5 gifted subs at $32.49, 10 at $64.90 and 25 at $162.99 (US store, checked 24 October 2026). Buying on kick.com in a browser keeps the $5 price, and the same goes for tips: see how much KICKs are worth.

What a Kick sub is worth to the streamer

Kick's revenue split page says the streamer receives $4.75 of every $5 sub, and the other $0.25 (5%) is a processing fee. Kick's gifting guide says gifted subs pay under the same 95/5 split, so a gift is worth exactly as much to the channel as a sub a viewer buys for themselves.

A few conditions sit on the streamer's side:

• Affiliate first. Kick says you need to be a KICK Affiliate or Partner to earn from subs, and its streaming guide ties that step to 5 total hours streamed. Details in Kick Affiliate.
• Stripe only. Every payout goes through Stripe, and if Stripe does not cover your country you cannot be paid yet. Country by country in Kick payout countries.
• $10 minimum. Kick's terms (section 4.6) pay only in months when you are owed at least $10. Smaller amounts roll over to the next month.
• Monthly, or weekly once verified. Channels that are not verified are paid monthly. Verified channels can ask for weekly.

Kick also absorbs Stripe's 1.50% currency conversion fee for streamers paid in a local currency, its international payments page says.

How much is 50, 100 or 250 subs on Kick?

Because the price never changes, every amount is a multiplication: $5 a sub for the viewer, $4.75 for the streamer.

• 50 subs: $250, and the streamer keeps $237.50.
• 100 subs or 100 gifted subs: $500, and the streamer keeps $475.
• 200 subs: $1,000, and the streamer keeps $950.
• 250 subs: $1,250, and the streamer keeps $1,187.50.
• 500 subs: $2,500, the most Kick lets you gift in one purchase. The streamer keeps $2,375.
• 1,000 subs: $5,000, and as gifts that is at least two purchases. The streamer keeps $4,750.

There is one real difference between 250 subs and 250 gifted subs. Paid subs renew every month until the viewer cancels, so 250 active subs can pay $1,187.50 again next month. Gifted subs are one time gifts that do not renew, so a gift of 250 pays the channel once. Try your own numbers in the Kick calculator.

Kick sub price in the UK, Nigeria, India and other countries

There is no local price. Kick's international payments page says there is "no regional pricing", and that every subscription, gifted sub and KICKs purchase is in US dollars at the same global price. Your bank converts the charge on the day, and some banks add a foreign transaction fee.

For a rough idea, here is $5 converted at official reference rates: the European Central Bank's rates of 23 October 2026, and for the naira the Central Bank of Nigeria's central rate of the same day. This is arithmetic, not a Kick price, and your bank's rate will differ a little:

• United Kingdom: about £3.74 a sub, £374 for 100.
• Canada: about C$7.00 a sub, C$700 for 100.
• Australia: about A$7.12 a sub, A$712 for 100.
• South Africa: about R83 a sub, R8,299 for 100.
• Nigeria: about ₦6,807 a sub, ₦680,670 for 100.
• India: about ₹475 a sub, ₹47,473 for 100.
• Philippines: about ₱318 a sub, ₱31,821 for 100.

Twitch works the other way and sets lower local prices in many countries: its Tier 1 web price in Nigeria is US$2.49, against $5 on Kick. The Twitch side is in Twitch gifted subs.

How Kick gifted subs work: random or one viewer

Yes, Kick has gifted subs. Its gifting guide (updated 12 May 2026) gives the steps:

1. On the streamer's channel, click Gift a Sub, near the Subscribe button.
2. Pick a preset amount or type your own number, up to 500 subs per purchase.
3. Choose a specific viewer, or gift to the community.
4. Pay and confirm.

Are Kick gifted subs random? Only if you choose the community option, which Kick also calls random subs: Kick hands the gifts out at random among viewers in the channel. Pick a specific viewer and the sub goes to that person. You can gift anonymously, and you can gift on a channel you already subscribe to.

Who receives them. The recipient gets a notification and full sub perks at once, with nothing to claim. A gift is not meant to land on someone who already has a sub, and Kick says to email its subscriptions team if that happens.

How long they last. Usually one month. Gifted subs do not renew and nobody is charged again. When the gift ends, the recipient can subscribe on their own.

What the streamer sees. An on stream alert plays and the revenue shows up in the Creator Dashboard. Kick's Global Gift Subs Leaderboard (help article updated 2 October 2026) ranks the top 50 channels by gifted subs, resets every hour on UTC time, and features the hour's number 1 on Kick's carousel for 30 minutes if it is still live. Gifted subs do not count toward Streamer Achievements.

Badges, refunds and chargebacks

• Gifter badge. Kick says the person who gifts gets a gifted subscription badge next to their username, and also unlocks sub perks on that channel.
• Sub badges. Recipients show the channel's sub badge. Streamers upload their own set once they are an Affiliate or Partner, under Channel, Community, Sub Badges in the Creator Dashboard, with milestones from 1 month up to 2 years and beyond.
• Refunds. Kick's refund policy (updated 27 August 2026) says all purchases are final and non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise. For gifted subs and KICKs, refund options are "very limited" because the recipient already has the perks, and the gifting guide says a gifted sub cannot be cancelled once sent. Kick does review duplicate charges, charges after a cancellation, purchases made without your permission and payments where the sub never switched on. Raise any dispute in writing within 30 days.
• Chargebacks. Kick asks you to email it before you go to your bank. File a chargeback first and your account may be suspended while Kick investigates. On the streamer's side, Kick's terms (section 4.6) let it hold back or charge back disputed amounts from the channel's earnings.
• Gifting your own channel. Kick's verification rules say: "Do not self-finance a KICK account through subscriptions to artificially inflate channel statistics." Doing it can cost a channel its verification or its Partner place.

Subs follow viewers, viewers follow clips

Every number on this page grows with the size of the room, and most new Kick viewers find a channel through short clips on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. ReelShift clips your Kick stream while you are still live: it follows what you say, the loud moments and, on game streams, the kills and wins on screen, and hands back vertical clips with word synced captions within minutes, ready to post. Say "clip that" to save the last 60 seconds. The 7 day free trial covers 1 channel and 5 streaming hours, card required, nothing charged today.
