Popular Spanish streamer TheGrefg reveals how much money he made on Kick with 10,668 subscribers, compares his earnings on Twitch

Streaming has become a lucrative profession over the years, and as more eyes are directed toward platforms like Twitch and Kick, subscriptions and sponsorships also increase. David "TheGrefg" is a prominent Spanish Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and co-owner of the esports organization, Team Heretics. In a recent post on X, he revealed how much he makes from his streaming subscribers.

Born on April 24, 1997, in Murcia, Spain, TheGrefg became a sensation in the gaming world, particularly for his content related to Fortnite and Call of Duty. His career skyrocketed after his exclusive Fortnite skin was released, part of the Icon Series, which further solidified his fame.

Recently, on X, he revealed the monetary gain streaming has brought him:

In the post, TheGrefg compares his revenue on two platforms, Twitch and Kick. On Twitch he states that with an active subscriber count of 4,579, he makes over $7,000 considering one subscription costs $1.53. In comparison, on Kick, he makes $4.73 per subscriber, and with about 10,668 active subscribers, he received a total subscription revenue of $50,562.

In conclusion, based on the statistics above, the streamer asked his X followers if he should continue with his Kick streaming journey.

The Grefg's net worth is estimated to be around $9.8 million, and according to his claims, streaming on Kick would be the more profitable.

Kick vs Twitch — Evaluating TheGrefg's claims on the more lucrative platform

When comparing the earning potential on Kick and Twitch, Kick offers a more lucrative option for many streamers due to its significantly higher revenue split. Kick provides streamers with a 95-5 revenue split, meaning streamers keep 95% of their earnings from subscriptions and donations, while the platform takes only 5%. In contrast, Twitch’s standard revenue model offers a 50-50 split for most streamers, and even top creators are often limited to a 70-30 split.

As TheGrefg claimed above, he makes about $4.73 per subscription, which is almost exactly 95% of the $5 subscription the platform claims viewers are charged. Therefore, the 95-5 split seems valid in this case.

For smaller or mid-sized streamers though, the decision is more complex. While the revenue potential is higher on Kick, the risk lies in the lower user base, which could make it harder to grow a new audience. As a result, newer or smaller streamers might struggle to build the same kind of following as established streamers.
