Kick panels: young platform, thin catalogues

Kick is a young streaming platform, and the stock reflects that: 1,685 orderable entries across 9 performance tiers from 22 catalogues, spread over tiers that are very unevenly populated. Live viewers during a broadcast are the actual offering; everything else sits alongside it and is run by a few providers.

As on Twitch, the live stream is the product here, so the good is simply called viewers, and views on recordings are called video views. This distinction is not a detail: without it, two pages on this platform would carry almost identical names for two very different numbers.

In thinly populated tiers the price is a snapshot. When one provider takes its line offline, the price level of an entire tier shifts at once — one more reason to note the date beneath the figures.

One figure also belongs to the picture, because it comes from the fields rather than the titles: the number of offers in this network where the panel reports a refill via its own API is 12. This refers to the variant you can trigger yourself; what the offer name says is a promise, not a field. For the viewers of a live broadcast, a refill is moot — the stream is over by then.

The lowest priceable base price in this network is 0.009 € per thousand units, and the middle of the field sits at 5.83 €. The lower value is currently set by SocNet — that is a property of a single catalogue and not a market situation, and at the next pull it may sit with a different provider. Both are wholesale purchase prices, not what a German-language sales page charges for them.

Viewers belong to the live broadcast and are sold by duration. Video views count plays of recorded content — a different number, a different price.

Followers stay with the channel. Chatters are chat messages and the only good here that is read rather than counted.

Which providers stand behind these lines is shown in the panel comparison.

Between two pulls the catalogue does not stand still. Since 31/10/2026, 59 entries in this scope have a different base price than before, of which 0 upward and 59 downward; 0 rows have been newly added and 0 have disappeared from the catalogues. The date named is the oldest of these earlier pulls, so that the row does not claim a freshness its slowest component does not have.

Comparison only covers panels that have a second pull at all; their number is 22 and is not the number of indexed panels, because a newly added provider has no history yet. As long as this second pull is missing, nothing appears here — a zero would mean "nothing has moved", and that is a measurement, not a gap.

Two details appear in no panel API and are therefore maintained by hand from the panels' own information: whether a provider issues a proper invoice and which payment methods it accepts. The number of providers with an invoice in this scope is 2. Since 30/08/2026, none of these details here has gone unverified — the oldest check is shown rather than the most recent, because a date based on the last check would hide the providers nobody has looked at for longest. The number of providers with no check at all is currently 0.

Where entries from different providers within a tier match each other down to their quantity limits, we group them and mark the more expensive rows with a note that they probably sell the same source — not all of them, because where the price gap could only be a counting error, the note is left out. The number of groups touching this section is 272, the number of marked rows is 398. The word "probably" matters: no panel writes into its API who it buys from, and two identically cut rows are a hint, not proof. What is counted is also only what touches this section — the groups do not split the stock. How it is measured is described in the panel comparison.
