After paid subscriptions on Twitter and Instagram, it’s TikTok’s turn. From May 26, it will be possible to subscribe to a creator to obtain privileges. But will users get their hands on the wallet for their favorite tiktokeur?

It’s official. As mentioned in the past, TikTok has just confirmed the implementation of paid subscriptions. A new feature launched Thursday, May 26 to a handful of creators.

Privileges that are not free. While TikTok hasn’t listed an amount yet, memberships would be priced similarly to Twitch: starting at $4.99 per month, with 30% to 50% commission for the platform, TechCrunch reported. A novelty rather well received by the creators, many of whom expressed their dissatisfaction with the income generated on the application. Creators can already receive money in the form of gifts during livestreams on TikTok.

Some creators have already announced their participation, such as Sharina Richie, FlyWithKay, danielrene or even Jack Be and Corey ASMR. For this launch, TikTok not only targeted the gaming community by targeting streamers as a priority, but also turned to beauty, music and even ASMR influencers. A smart choice to reach more users.

To activate this paid option, creators must be at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 1000 subscribers to be able to access the Live option. Subscribers must also be at least 18 years old.

Instagram and Twitter have also already offered their vision of paid subscriptions on their respective platforms. A trend boosted by the success of paid platforms like OnlyFans, but which will still have to impose itself on Internet users.
