Kick vs Twitch: 4 differences in guidelines of these gaming, livestreaming platforms

Features of Rumble

Rumble has an exclusive feature called “Rants”, which helps the creator to deserve more. With this feature, the viewers should pay to pin the live comment. For every minute it cost $1 and if the viewers wanted to pin their comment for 5 minutes it costs $5. Rumble traffic has skyrocketed. As per Reclaim the Net, the rumble platform has increased by 17% and it just hit an estimated 115.6 million visits for every month. Rumble provides an expanded way in selecting extensions and plugins which support the streamers to enhance their skills in creating exclusive content. It offers polls and game-specific add-ons which allow streamers to include additional information and mini-games. While Rumble is still in the process of building its user base and expanding its features, it has shown promise as a viable alternative to established streaming platforms.

Difference in Streamers' payout

In terms of streamer payout, Rumble takes a different approach compared to its competitors. While platforms like Kick and Twitch primarily generate revenue through advertising and subscription models, Rumble operates on a revenue-sharing system. It offers a 100% revenue share that the creator receives from the subscribers. It pays 60 % of ad revenue. Twitch monetization model has been criticized for offering a lower revenue share of 50/50 with the creator subscription. In contrast, Kick offers 95% of all subscription revenue and there are no fees deducted from tips or donations. While the other two platforms offer notable features like donation systems and categories, they still lag behind Twitch in terms of available tools and services. One aspect that sets them apart (for better or worse) is the comparatively lower level of moderation in their chat rooms compared to Twitch.

Streamers' payout details are unknown, But streamers like Kai Cenat and ishowSpeed have signed non-exclusive contracts. And JiDion has also signed Rumble recently.

There are also some rumors suggesting that Adin Ross secured the streaming deal of $150 million. There are some streamers who have been threatened by major platforms like Kick, YouTube, and Twitch. Those streamers have also planned to join Rumble to showcase their talents. Some streamers are permanently banned from Twitch while others are temporarily banned. So, it is an open platform and an exclusive offer for them.
