JAKARTA - TikTok is again competing to launch a TikTok LIVE subscription service dubbed Live Subscription this week, where content creators can generate recurring income through payments from their fans.
This Live Subscription is similar to offerings from rival streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube. TikTok offers customers a variety of perks including customer-only chats, custom emojis, badges, and more.
However, the service only launched in beta on May 26. In a series of videos that TikTok has shared, showing content creators who are part of the pilot program, they share the benefits their followers get from using the service.
With the presence of Live Subscriptions, some content creators say they are happy to have a predictable monthly income.
Launching The Verge, Wednesday, May 25, the appeal of TikTok LIVE itself also includes special stickers for live stream chats and the opportunity to take part in subscriber-only chats.
This kind of service is likely familiar to Twitch users, as it has a very similar subscription program. According to a TechCrunch report, the price of a TikTok LIVE subscription will be comparable to a Twitch plan, which starts at $4.99 per month.
However, to use Live Subscription users must be 18 years of age or older to offer or purchase a paid subscription, and content creators can only offer subscriptions if they have at least 1,000 followers.
