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.
Commission on money a platform pays you itself waits for that payout. Twitch pays you on the 15th for the previous month, so the commission on a month's bits, subs and gifts is billed on the 20th of the next month, after the money has reached you. September's bits are billed October 20. It never lands on the same month's usage bill, and it is never billed before you have been paid.
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 |
AI Video Editor
The video editor bills as it runs, by what each job actually uses. There are no quotes and nothing about money inside the editor itself. Each finished edit shows up in your wallet history as Video Editor Usage.
| What | When it bills | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Watching a video | Once, when you add it | $0.004 per minute of video, $0.08 minimum |
| Writing an edit, large model | When the edit finishes | $0.00625 per 1,000 tokens in, $0.03125 per 1,000 out |
| Writing an edit, fast model | When the edit finishes | $0.0025 per 1,000 tokens in, $0.0125 per 1,000 out |
| Rendering | When the edit finishes | $0.025 per minute of rendering time |
| Storing finished renders | Monthly | $0.019 per GB per month |
| Asking in the chat, finding moments, playing, downloading | Never | Free |
A short usually writes with the large model and renders for under a minute. A change asked for in the chat writes with the fast model and re-renders. A render after your own timeline edits is rendering only. An edit that does not finish bills nothing.
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.

Countries without Stripe Connect
Stripe Connect opens payout accounts in most countries, but not all. Where it cannot, direct tips to the streamer arrive as Landmark Coins in their wallet and Landmark pays them out directly to their local bank (Stripe Global Payouts). Cash-out minimum is $20 and the bank transfer cost ($1.50, plus about 2% outside the US) comes out of the amount; Landmark takes nothing on top.
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 | $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.
