Subscription Tiers and Pricing
Tier 1 subs currently cost just $4.99, with Tier 2 and Tier 3 costing $9.99 and $24.99, respectively. If the new benefits can make subbing at a higher tier more attractive, it means more cash in the streamer’s pocket, as well as Twitch’s.
Twitch Subscriptions and Benefits
There are tier 2 Twitch subscriptions (£9.99 per month) and tier 3 ones (£24.99 per month) which unlock extras, such as additional emotes, badge flairs, and emote modifiers. Users with Amazon Prime are granted one free subscription per month.
Claiming Gifted Subs
To claim gifted subs, go to the top right-hand side of the screen and press the “Subscribe” button. If you have already subscribed to the channel, it will be turned into a “Gift a Sub” button. If you aren’t subscribed, scroll down to the “Gift a Sub” button and click it.
Resubbing and Alerts
When you’ve renewed a channel subscription, or entered a subsequent month of a bulk subscription, you’ll be prompted to share the news with your community in chat when the channel is live. Resub chat alerts will show up when the broadcaster and purchaser are both in the channel.
Twitch in Asia
Despite being blocked in China, Twitch is emerging as the cultural center of gaming in the Asia Pacific. Twitch will be rolling regional pricing for various countries in Southeast Asia including the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and more.
Subscription Costs and Benefits
A Subscription allows a viewer to pay a minimum of $4.99 per month to support your channel, either on a recurring or one-time basis. Subscribers (subs) get access to your emotes and other benefits you can define.
