How many Kick followers is a lot, in numbers
Across the 328,559 Kick channels PlayerSells has recorded going live and put through the follower pass, out of 458,657 tracked in total, the median channel has 8 followers. 65 followers is the 75th percentile, 453 is the 90th and 12,031 is the top 1 percent, about 1,504 times the median. Measured 5 October 2026.
Followers are the vanity number on a live platform. Across the 44,847 Kick channels whose viewership PlayerSells measures, the median channel averages 2 concurrent viewers, 72 is the 90th percentile and 1,028 is the 99th. The median tracked channel has 2.18% of its followers watching at any moment and even a top-decile channel converts 17.1%. Measured 2 September 2026.
The population here is channels that actually stream. Our sweep reads Kick's public live directory every 15 minutes and rolls the samples up nightly, so the catalog holds the 458,657 channels we have caught on air rather than every registered account. A channel we have never caught live is simply absent, which says nothing about it and does not stop it being ranked by typing its follower count. Measured 5 October 2026.
The Kick follower distribution
Measured across the 328,559 channels in our Kick catalog that have been through the follower pass, out of 458,657 we track in total. Kick's live sweep finds a channel and carries everything about it except its follower count, which only the per-channel endpoint returns, so the catalog runs ahead of the ladder. The shape is steep: a quarter of these channels sit at 1 followers or fewer, half are under 8, and the top 1 percent begin at 12,031, about 1,504 times the median.
| Percentile | Segment | Followers |
|---|---|---|
| p10 | Bottom 10% | 0 |
| p25 | Bottom 25% | 1 |
| p50median | Top 50% | 8 |
| p75 | Top 25% | 65 |
| p90 | Top 10% | 453 |
| p95 | Top 5% | 1,476 |
| p99 | Top 1% | 12,031 |
Followers are the vanity number on a live platform
Subscriptions, tips and the ad share are all counted per person actually watching, so a channel with a long follower list and an empty chat earns like an empty chat. The two numbers come apart badly here: across the Kick channels we measure, the median one has 2.18% of its followers watching at any moment, and even a top-decile channel converts 17.1%. So read this table next to the viewership one rather than instead of it. The median tracked Kick channel averages 2 concurrent viewers, 72 is the 90th percentile and 1,028 the 99th, measured over 44,847 channels. Which means 65 followers puts a channel ahead of three quarters of the ones we track and still tells you almost nothing about what it earns.
Where these numbers come from
Our Kick catalog is built by a sweep that reads the live directory every 15 minutes and rolls the samples up nightly. What that produces is a record of channels we have caught going live, not a census of every account ever registered on Kick, and the percentile on this page is a statement about that set. It is a useful set to be measured against - it is the people who actually stream - but it is not the platform. A channel we have never caught live is simply absent, which says nothing about the channel, and it can still be ranked by typing its follower count into the second field.

Frequently asked questions
How many followers do you need to be in the top 10% on Kick?
453 followers among the channels we have recorded streaming, with the top 1 percent starting at 12,031. Measured 5 October 2026 across 328,559 channels with a recorded follower count, out of 458,657 tracked.
Do followers decide what a Kick channel earns?
Barely. Subscriptions, tips and the ad share are all counted per person actually watching, and turnout is low: the median tracked Kick channel has 2.18% of its followers watching at any moment and a top-decile channel converts 17.1%. The number that pays is average concurrent viewers, where the median tracked channel sits at 2 and the 90th percentile at 72, measured 2 September 2026 over 44,847 channels.
Why is my channel not in your index?
Because we have never caught it live. The catalog is built by a sweep of Kick's public live directory every 15 minutes, so a channel that has not streamed while we were looking is absent. That says nothing about the channel. Type its follower count into the second field and it ranks against the same ladder.
Can a Kick channel be bought or sold?
No. Kick's terms prohibit transferring an account, so a follower percentile here is a measure of standing and audience, never a price tag or an invitation to sell. Anyone offering to buy or sell a Kick channel is offering something the platform forbids.
Why do you track more channels than you have follower counts for?
Because the two halves of the engine run at different speeds. The live sweep discovers a channel and carries everything about it except its follower count, which only Kick's per-channel endpoint returns. So 328,559 of the 458,657 channels we track have been through the follower pass, and the ladder is measured over those.
