# How Paid Subscriptions Work

When you open the profile of a streamer who has enabled **paid subscriptions**, you’ll notice an extra option: Along with the **“+“ Follow** button, a **gold “Subscribe”** button appears.

{% columns fullWidth="false" %}
{% column valign="middle" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/AliZq6ev2msI88SyCZXu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}
To Subscribe:

1. Tap the **Subscribe** button on the streamer’s profile.
2. Choose a **subscription plan** (1, 3, 6, or 12 months).
3. Confirm the payment.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t have enough **USDC** in your wallet, you’ll be prompted to **top up your balance** before completing the subscription.
{% endhint %}

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

#### Subscription Renewal

Subscriptions **renew automatically** at the end of each period.

If the streamer updates the price, you’ll get a [**FROGY Alert**](/get-ready-to-go-live/become-a-viewer/support-a-streamer-gifts-and-tips/chats/frogy-alert-chat.md) letting you know about the change and inviting you to **renew your subscription at the new rate**

#### Chat Access with Streamers

Once you subscribe to a streamer, you can **message them directly** — just like with **tips and gifts**, your **chat unlocks automatically**.

{% hint style="success" %}
No need to wait for the streamer to approve your request — paid subscribers get instant access.
{% endhint %}
