- YouTube Super Chat. iPhone app. Apple takes 30% first. YouTube then pays 70% of what is left.
- Twitch subscription. Phone app. The sub costs about 30% more. The creator is still paid half of the website price.
- Twitch Bits. iPhone app. 95 Bits cost $1.99. The creator receives $0.95.
- Buy Me a Coffee. Website. Buy Me a Coffee takes 5%. A US card then takes 2.9% + $0.30. The creator keeps $91.80 before the payout fee. The table rounds that to $92.
Figures use the published 2026 phone-app prices of what the supporter pays. A Twitch partner on a 70% deal is still about −$45 in the phone app, because the app price is higher and the payout stays tied to the website price. A wallet also pays a network fee. That is not OnCheer, and on $100 it is cents.
