For social apps
Monetize the perk, the coin, and the gift.
Social networks run three revenue models at once — perk subscriptions like X Premium and Snapchat+, spendable coin balances like Snap Tokens and Telegram Stars, and one-tap creator gifts. CashSDK ships all three from one integration, with paywalls you A/B over the air and revenue you can read the same afternoon you launch.
Subscriptions · coin balances · creator gifts — one SDK, both stores.

How the category prices
Three revenue models, running at the same time.
The top social apps stack recurring perk subscriptions, spendable coin balances, and creator gifts — each targeting a different moment. Here is how the category really charges.
Recurring
Perk subscriptions
The revenue base: a monthly plan — often two or three tiers — that unlocks cosmetics, a verified badge, and quality-of-life upgrades, not new core function.
- X Premium: Basic $3 → Premium $8 → Premium+ $40 / mo
- Snapchat+ from ~$3.99/mo; Platinum ~$15.99 is the ad-free tier
- Discord Nitro Basic $2.99 → Nitro $9.99; bigger uploads, custom look
- Reddit Premium $5.99 · Telegram Premium ~$4.99 — ad-free + doubled limits

Consumable
Coins & virtual goods
A separately-bought currency, decoupled from the sub — top up a balance, then spend it on gifts, stickers, and digital goods. Cheaper per unit in bulk.
- Snapchat Snap Tokens: $0.99 / 80 → $9.99 / 1,100
- Telegram Stars: bought in-app, spent on Mini-App goods & gifts
- Reddit Gold: $1.99 / 100 → $49.99 / 2,750, awarded to posts
- Discord Server Boosts ($4.99) unlock server-wide perks

Creator payouts
Tips, gifts & revenue share
The third leg, built on the first two: route money to creators through one-tap gifts, tips, and share of subscription or ad revenue.
- Telegram Star gifts — creators keep 100%, cash out to TON
- Reddit Contributor Program pays ~$0.90–$1.00 per Gold via Stripe
- X: engagement-based creator payouts, Subscriptions & Tips
- Snapchat Gifts sent with Snap Tokens go to the creator

Market context only. Prices are representative US list prices for 2025–26 and vary by region, platform, and promotion — social apps typically price lower on the web than in-app (store fees), and reserve ad-removal for the top tier; app and tier names are trademarks of their owners and are cited to describe the category, not affiliation. On the stores, social apps file under Apple “Social Networking” and Google Play “Social.”
Paywall shapes
Every social paywall, rendered from our own components.
Perk subscriptions, consumable coin packs, and à-la-carte creator gifts — the same primitives, themed for social. These are CashSDK’s unbranded chrome, never a copy of any app’s screen.
