Tip services compared (fan sends ¥500 · estimate)
Major domestic and global QR/link services — what fans pay vs what you keep (domestic card · normal tip · 2026-06).
Example: ¥500 · one tip · domestic card
“All-in fee” includes platform and card processing estimates. Domestic QR 13.6% is each provider’s published rate including processing. Rukayu and Buy Me a Coffee “you receive” amounts are also after processing. tips.tips adds fees on the sender’s side, so the recipient amount stays nominal.

Example: fan pays ¥10,000 (estimate · domestic card)
* All rows assume the fan pays the same amount. With Twitch Bits, purchase markup means you keep less even when the fan spends ¥10,000.
| Method | Fan pays | Est. cut | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rukayu | ¥10,000 | ~14.0% (10% PF + processing) | ¥8,604 |
| YouTube Super Chat | ¥10,000 | ~30% (70% share) | ¥7,000 |
| TikTok LIVE gifts | ¥10,000 | 35–50% (as low as 20%) | ¥5,000〜¥6,500 |
| Twitch Bits | ¥10,000 | +23–40% at purchase* | ¥7,000〜¥7,700 |
~¥1,604 more per tip vs Super Chat. Twitch Bits leaves even less at the same fan spend. At ¥10M/month in live tips, that's ~¥19.2M+ more per year.
* Twitch Bits include a markup when fans buy Bits — at ¥10,000 fan spend, creators often keep ~70% or less. Competitor rates vary. Rukayu: fans pay exactly the displayed amount.
