The number of Coins per dollar is not fixed. It depends on how the viewer pays and how much they spend. This comparison uses bank cards and other common payment methods. Rates from third-party sellers are not included.

Fees and commissions matter. Platform fees, payment fees, payout fees and taxes can reduce what reaches the host. Compare the purchase price, gift value and payout together.

Decision guide

What to check before you choose

01

Follow the money from viewer to streamer

The viewer buys Coins or Diamonds and sends a gift. The streamer receives Diamonds, Beans or Points and may later withdraw money. What the viewer pays is not what the streamer receives.

02

Compare each earning program separately

Gifts, agency pay, tasks, subscriptions, battles and referrals can follow different rules and payment schedules in the same app.

03

Do not treat targets as guaranteed salary

Targets for hours, points and ranking can change. Save the rules shown when you join, and do not plan your budget around the highest earnings example.
