Unfair to region For american/canadian users the price of a sub is $4.99 tier 1, and an affiliate gets just under half of that amount. In the UK we pay minimum of £4.99 per tier 1, which evidentally means we are paying more than americans/canadians but after conversion rate we are receiving less than americans/canadians.
We pay more yet receive less and i think that is totally unfair for a tier 1 sub at $4.99 is roughly almost $7 yet we only get just over $2 for that sub, thats almost 70% profit from the EU you make as you pay us less....

Make Subscription costs the same value world wide so theres no confusion with payout Make the value of subscriptions the same worldwide so streamers can monitor their revenue better and avoid people using VPNs, for example cambodia paying 1.99, the streamer will only get 0.99 per sub.
This is especially unfair when those subs add time to a subathon timer and one person pays 4.99 and someone else pays 1.99, and the streamer wont know until AFTER.

Please reduce the cost of international subs eg $5 does NOT translate to $9.99 in Australia...this is highway robbery and hurts creators bad As above...make all sub/bits prices the exact same as USD with the conversion rate and stop shafting people who don't live in "the promised land".

Don't de-value sub gifts by making them more cheaper/expensive While local sub prices only affects individuals and their own subscriptions, sub gifting and sub gifter badges lose their value once the prices shift based on the region of the person gifting lives. I'd be happy to be able to gift more subs for the same amount of money (which is the purpose of this local sub pricing shenanigan), but this will not be the case if you live in non-participating zones; so while lucky folks get to gift 15 subs for $100 I only can gift 7.
This is also a huge problem for sub gifter badges. If you're…

Overpriced in New Zealand The blog posts states that “the price of a Tier 1 subscription on the web is roughly the equivalent of $4.99 USD in every country”. In New Zealand it costs $9.99nz for a tier 1 sub which is over $7us. This also needs to be addressed before assessing new sub costs based on cost of living in New Zealand. I currently use bits more to support streamers but these are probably also overpriced for New Zealand.

Feature Request Hello, I am contacting you to see the request for pesification of the subs in Argentina. Today in Argentina we have an inflation rate of 142.7% per year. So paying in dollars for the sub is very expensive. Adding to the fact that today the dollar is 800 pesos + 65% of country taxes, this value leads to the sub to be a luxury good, not a service. Then I would ask if the sub can have value in Argentine pesos and not in dollars. To avoid that the ecosystem is ruined, people do not subscribe and we can continue…

Counterproductive discount In my opinion, lower subscription pricing is completely counterproductive in "richer" countries. A discount of 20% will not make the sub magically more affordable and will only result in a 20% loss of revenue for the streamer. Even more so for small streamers.
Please reconsider changing to a really lower price or reverting back to the full price.

Subs are too pricey compared to other services. Also some thoughts on Ads. Netflix is 9.99, Hulu is 6.99, Amazon Prime is 14.99 (and you get so much with that).
Twitch is overpriced for 2 reasons right now -
You can support 3 channels on Twitch for 15 dollars as it is right now. Compared to having access to thousands of shows and movies on other platforms.
Those 3 channels you spend 15 dollars on won't have ads, but the other streams you may want to check out are littered with ads. These ads pop up that worst times. Usually when something exciting is happening.
They also pop up very frequently when you…

Allow chat and more smiles for Tier2/Tier3 only subs Some streamers in Russia and Eastern Europe don't believe that ~$2 Tier1 subs instead of $5 is a good idea (especially after some time and subathons). They think of leaving this service.
Twitch could allow streamers to choose which tier(s) of Subscribers can use chat (Subchat, Tier2+3-Subchat, Tier3-Subchat). Also it would be great if Twitch could allow to make more smiles exclusive to Tier-2+3 or Tier-3.
These features could help streamers to have less $2 subs if they don't want to have them. And have more $3,5 or $9 subs.

Fundamentally, this is what is unfair in general for high cost of living countries This will mess up US based providers, as their peers in lower cost of living areas will be able to 'charge less' for the same services... It's the problem with globalization overall. Providers in lower cost of living countries will, as a matter of course for being in lower cost of living countries, be able to undercut those providers in higher cost of living countries. Thanks for adding to the anti-globalization wave... the more the little guy get's screwed to make the big 1% more money (aka Amazon Stockholders) the worse the whole world will be....

Allow earnings in local currency It would be nice if people earned in their local currency and not in dollars.
I.e earnings in dashboard are converted to the market rate on that day from dollars to local currency.
Wouldn't be hard to do as many other sites do a similar thing.Then we could get paid in our local currency saving us money as we currently get a really bad deal with fees and currency conversion fees.
At payout, people outside the USA get hit ******* currency conversions!
We have to pay higher fees to withdraw our earnings plus fees to convert to our local…3 votes -
Revising local sub pricing I have noticed some local sub pricing seem a bit unfair.
A great example is SAR and TRY
A sub in SAR --> 8.99 (2.26 EUR) / (2.40 USD) which is okay in my opinion
A sub in TRY --> 9.90 (0.33 EUR) / (0.35 USD) which seems super low50 Subs in TRY would give a streamer ~Eur8.80
I understand local pricing makes it more affordable for more people but i feel like people could take this out of hand.
It would also be great to have an ADVANCED estimate revenue to check what currency was used for certain…

Minimum Payout For An Individual Subscription Regardless of Country of Purchase I'm a Twitch affiliate as of the last year or so. I'm in the U.S. and I got my first few subs locally, resulting in a $2.36 payout for each one. Recently, a follower from Turkey has subscribed to me at tier 1 $4.99. He was also generous enough to gift 2 other subs to the channel. If added up it totals $14.97 in which case I would get $7.48 before exchange rates, taxes, and any other bank fees. After the stream, I went to the earnings page on my dashboard to find that I was only receiving FIVE CENTS…

Please reconsider local sub price in CIS. New local price for CIS is around 1.99 USD. After the new recent local prices, the cis community did not like it, since prices are much lower in Ukraine and Turkey.
Please, can you review the statistics and standard of living again.
The real figures of average income are (Taken from google, honest sources and friends)
Kazakhstan = 273,60 USD
Belorus = 342,00 USD
Russia = 383,04 USD
Azerbaijan = 136,80 USD
Armenia = 164,16 USD
Kyrgyzstan = 157,32 USD
Moldova = 424,08 USD
Tajikistan = 123,12 USD
Uzbekistan = 150,48 USD
Turkmenistan = 119,02 USDUkraine = 372.90 USD…

Less payout tresholds depending on local pricing Since $100 is too high for some countries like Turkey (1860₺) I think payout tresholds should be less depending on the country. It's hard to fill in Turkey, I've been trying for THREE YEARS to get a payout.
Subs are 10 liras here and we get 2.50 liras per sub. When the math is done, the streamer should get around 744 subs to be able to payout the minimum amount.
You should have 62 people to sub every month for a year straight to payout.
It's not helpful at all.

Updated Monthly Live Hours for Revenue Adjustments I have asked this inquiry in Twitch support but they are unable to help me.
I got sick with COVID and has not been able to stream for a month and even if I have already recovered, my body has never been the same so I do not stream as much hours as before...
I am unable to get my revenue adjusted just like before since I don't meet my old LIVE HOURS just to get Revenue Adjustment. I don't get the usual monthly payments from Twitch anymore... on worse months, I don't get paid at all since without the…

Double currency conversion in Iceland In Iceland, the sub price shows up as 600 ISK, but it gets converted to USD by Xsolla and charged in USD, resulting in it actually costing 650+ ISK. If Xsolla doesn't support ISK, can we have the price in USD or EUR?

Hours Required To Receive The Adjustment Incentive Payments Are Too Harsh The minimal time livestreaming to be eligible for the Adjustment Incentive Payments is too high, it' doesn't take into consideration personal factors, for example: This month I got sick and could not complete mine, so I just don't get paid in the month that it is most needed? I think the system is too harsh. I have a lot of friends who gave up either because of this extreme hours or for not being eligible to receive the incentive in the first place, some others started letting their pc's livestreaming with no content just to fill the hours needed to…

Stop the price hike! This is going to lose volume. And that is dumb marketing. The price hike has been going on for years and nothing ground breaking has been implemented on your part, so I cannot in all good faith sit back and take yet another bump to subscription pricing. I personally have had a gutfull of eating the price hikes over and over. And I refuse to go to the ridiculously aggressive ad campaign Twitch appears to be employing in non subbed streams. So looks like I'm voting with my wallet and getting a gym membership, or re-doubling my book and record collections, certainly won't be a kindle reader.... Either way, Amazon or…

Canada Price increases The upcoming pricing changes in Canada are ridiculous and the justifications given are non-sensical. The current CAD 6.99 price is ALREADY more than 5 USD not to mention the taxes we have to pay on it already, CAD7.99 is too steep of an increase. Many other countries with weaker economies are getting sub price reductions, either in USD or local currency.
The justification for the change is "This year we are updating prices in several countries to help streamer revenue keep pace with rising costs and reflect local currency fluctuations." If they want to help streamers in North America, they…1 vote
