Monetization
Fees
Landmark earns in two ways: a commission on paid redeems, and usage on the products that cost money to run. Direct cash tips carry a 0% Landmark fee. There is no subscription and setup is free. Here is exactly how each one works.
Commission
A commission is 20% of a paid redeem that does not consume usage. When a viewer redeems something that Landmark does not pay to produce, such as a MineControl effect, a camera filter, a media share, or an IRL device action, Landmark keeps 20% of what the viewer spent and the streamer keeps 80%. Coin-funded redeems settle the commission the moment they happen, so it never lands on a bill later.
Gold accounts keep an extra point, so their commission is 19%.
Filter rules on paid platform events work the same way: when bits, a Kick or TikTok gift, or a super chat fires a camera filter, Landmark takes 20% of that event's value. Subscriptions and gifted subs have region-dependent prices, so each one counts as an assumed $1 and the commission is $0.20. Free events (follows, chat commands, raids, channel points) carry no commission.
Usage
Usage is an elastic cost that scales with how much of a product the streamer runs. It applies to the products that carry a real cost to produce, priced above that cost so the streamer keeps a margin whenever they charge their viewers for it. Coin-funded redeems settle immediately; anything else accrues to the monthly usage bill.
| Product | What you are charged |
|---|---|
| Landmark Camera | $0.03 per second of AI filter time. |
| Text-to-Speech, premium voices | $0.11 per 1,000 characters read. |
| Text-to-Speech, standard voices | The first 1,000,000 characters each month are free, then $0.0044 per 1,000 characters. |
| Chatbot AI answers ($gpt) | $0.0011 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.0055 per 1,000 output tokens. |
AI Assistant
The Elements AI assistant builds overlay elements from a description. You pick which model does the work, and each is priced per 1,000 tokens with a $0.05 minimum per build. Fable is available once you enable it in Preferences.
| Model | Input, per 1,000 tokens | Output, per 1,000 tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Haiku | $0.0012 | $0.006 |
| Sonnet | $0.0036 | $0.018 |
| Opus | $0.006 | $0.030 |
| Fable (enable in Preferences) | $0.012 | $0.060 |
Agent
The dashboard agent that helps you set things up runs on Haiku and guarantees 3 free uses each day. Past that, it is billed at $0.002 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.010 per 1,000 output tokens. Fable can be enabled for the agent in Preferences.
A token is roughly three quarters of a word.
Tips
A direct cash tip is a payment to the streamer. Landmark takes 0% of it. The only deduction is Stripe's card-processing fee, and the rest lands in the streamer's connected bank. The smallest tip is $0.50.

Coin-only regions
Stripe pays out to bank accounts in most countries, but not all. In a country Stripe cannot pay out to, an account is coin-only. Direct tips to a coin-only streamer are always converted to Landmark Coins in their wallet rather than cash. Landmark Coins cannot be exchanged or paid out to a bank at this time. They can be spent in two ways only: as tips to other streamers, and as payment for Landmark usage.
Buying coins
Coin packs cost a little more than their face value to cover card processing. A 500-coin pack ($5.00 in coins) costs about $5.59. That extra covers Stripe's fee for the purchase itself, so a coin always redeems at its full 1-cent value and the streamer keeps the whole thing.
Tip calculator
Enter a tip amount to see the split, and pick a currency to see the same figures in your local money for reference.
| Tip | $10.00 | |
| Landmark fee (0%) | −$0.00 | |
| Card processing (Stripe) | −$0.59 | |
| Streamer receives | $9.41 |
Card processing is Stripe's standard US rate (2.9% + 30¢). International cards run a little higher, so the streamer's share is a best case. The exact figure always shows in the dashboard.
