Set how much time each event adds

How a rate card reads

Everything is set in Time Settings, always with the same sentence: add X seconds for Y. The quantity on the right matters as much as the seconds on the left.

• 100 seconds for 100 bits is one second per bit. A 250-bit cheer therefore adds 250 seconds.
• 60 seconds for 1 donation in your local currency is 60 seconds per unit. A 2.50 donation adds 150 seconds.

Proportional events, such as bits and donations, are counted pro rata, decimals included. Subscriptions are counted per unit.

Leave anything you do not want to count at 0: the event is still kept in your history and your statistics, it simply adds no time.

Do not forget 💾 Save settings at the bottom of the page: tabs do not save on their own.

Twitch

This is the tab that opens by default, and the only one that works with nothing connected beyond your Twitch sign-in.

• Bits: ordinary cheers.
• Power-ups: gigantified emote, message effect, celebration and custom power-up. They are set separately from cheers, but also count as bits spent.
• Subscriptions, gifted subs and re-subs, each with its three tiers. A batch of 10 gifted subs counts as 10.
• Follow: a viewer counts only once, even after unfollowing and following again. If a warning asks you to reconnect with Twitch, the permission to read followers is newer than your last sign-in.
• Raid: either a flat amount per raid, or an amount per block of viewers. You can require a minimum number of viewers, and cap how many are counted, so one huge raid cannot blow up your timer.

Donations and sales

The Donations tab covers every donation in your local currency: Streamlabs, TipeeeStream, StreamElements and Ko-fi all share this one setting.

The currency shown at the top of the tab is your account's; you change it in Connections. It converts nothing: a donation of 10 is treated as 10, whatever the original currency.

The Sales tab is for your NineStore shop sales, using the tax-inclusive amount.

YouTube, Kick and TikTok

These tabs have their own rate card, because a Kick subscription is not worth the same as a Twitch sub.

• YouTube: Super Chat, by amount, and memberships. Gifted memberships count too, for the number given. A member sharing their milestone in chat adds no time, though: that is a message, not a payment.
• Kick: subscription, gifted subscription, re-sub and follow. A follower counts only once, like on Twitch.
• TikTok: on hold until live events become reachable again on workable terms.

These events only arrive once the platform is linked in Connections.

Show your rate card on stream

Under each event, the Show in the bareme switch decides whether it appears in the public list. Handy for announcing the essentials instead of thirty lines.

At the top of the page, two links:

• Overlay, to paste into OBS as a browser source. The Single line (auto-scroll) option turns it into a scrolling banner whose width you set.
• Public page, to share in your chat or as a channel panel. Your viewers pick their own language and theme there.

Let someone else set your rate card

You can hand this page to someone you trust without sharing your account: tick Time Settings in their editor rights. It is all explained in Share your timer without sharing your account.

Choosing your values

Start from the length you want to hold, then work backwards. To aim for 24 hours with 100 expected subs, you need roughly 864 seconds per sub, a little over 14 minutes.

A few useful markers:

• A timer that is too generous gets out of hand on the first big raid or the first batch of gifted subs.
• A timer that is too stingy kills the mood: at 30 seconds a sub, nobody sees the effect of what they just did.
• Max time, on the dashboard, protects you from both: the remaining time never goes above that ceiling.

Changing your rate card mid-run

You can change your values during a subathon: they apply to the events that follow. Time already added stays, your timer is not recalculated.
