## Cost per Viewer-Hour Calculator for Twitch & Kick

Turn any viewer package (hourly, weekly or monthly) into one fair number: dollars per viewer per streamed hour.

Cost per viewer-hour = package price ÷ (viewers × streams × hours per stream). A $47 30-day plan with 20 viewers over our 60-hour benchmark month (15 streams × 4 h) works out to about **$0.039 per viewer-hour** . Enter your own quote below to compare hourly, weekly and monthly offers on the same basis.

## How to use the cost per viewer-hour calculator

1. Enter the package price and how many viewers it delivers.
2. Set how many streams it covers and how long each stream runs. For a one-off hourly order, set streams to 1 and hours to the order length.
3. Optionally enter an hourly panel rate (dollars per 100 viewers per hour) to compare.
4. Read cost per viewer-hour, cost per stream and the break-even hours.

## Why cost per viewer-hour is the fair comparison

Headline prices hide very different deliveries: “$0.53” may buy 100 viewers for one hour, while “$47” may cover 20 viewers on every stream for 30 days. Normalising to viewer-hours puts both on one scale. A plan that auto-starts on every stream gets cheaper per hour the more you stream; an hourly order costs the same per hour however much you stream.

The number covers viewers only. Chatbots, AI messages, followers and raids bundled in a plan have real value, which our [chatbot ROI calculator](https://viewersbot.com/tools/chatbot-roi-calculator/) and [package comparator](https://viewersbot.com/tools/package-cost-comparator/) account for.
