Frequently asked questions

What is RPM?

Revenue per mille: what a creator earns per 1,000 views, after the platform's cut. It's the one number that turns view counts into money, and every calculator on this site is built around it (or its subscription equivalent).

Are these numbers official?

No platform publishes a rate card. Our 2026 assumptions combine platform-published prices and splits (Twitch tiers, Kick's 95/5, bit values) with widely reported payout ranges (YouTube and TikTok RPMs). Everything is an estimate; see our methodology page.

Which platform pays creators the most?

Per fan, Kick (95% of sub revenue). Per view, YouTube ($1–$5 RPM vs TikTok's $0.40–$1.00). In total, it depends entirely on where your audience is, which is why the comparison pages show the same math side by side.
