Creator support
One-time Support in Baars: who can receive it, amounts and limits by plan, how creators turn it on and how to send it.
Creator support
Support is a one-time Baar contribution from you to a creator whose work you want to back. Each Support is a single payment: nothing renews and nothing is charged again later. Monthly support has been retired.
Support is separate from a Circle. A Circle is included in your paid plan and opens a creator's subscriber-only posts; Support is paid from your own Baar balance and does not unlock posts. See Creator Circles.
Who can receive Support
A creator can receive Support only when all three are true:
- their profile is verified;
- they hold a paid plan at or above the platform minimum, which is currently Lite;
- they have turned Support on.
If a creator's verification or plan lapses, Support stops being available on their profile until it is restored.
Amounts and limits
The platform minimum for one Support is 30 Baars. A creator may set a higher minimum within their plan's maximum. The receiving creator's current plan sets the largest single Support and how many times one supporter can support that creator in a rolling 30-day window:
| Receiving creator's plan | Supports from one supporter per 30 days | Maximum per Support |
|---|---|---|
| Free, Basic | Not available | — |
| Lite | 1 | 3,000 Baars |
| Plus | 1 | 15,000 Baars |
| Premium | 2 | 30,000 Baars |
The limit applies to each supporter for each creator: supporting one creator does not use up your limit for another. A Support that is still processing holds its place in the limit until it completes or fails. These values can change; the amount range and availability shown in Tubaar apply.
For creators: turn Support on
- Get your profile verified. See Getting the blue check.
- Make sure your plan is Lite or above. See Tubaar+ and paid plans.
- Open Settings → Business → Supporters.
- Switch on Accept support. You can also set a Minimum support amount between 30 Baars and your plan's maximum, then tap Save minimum.
You can switch Support off at any time from the same screen, even if your plan or verification has changed. The Baars you receive are earned Baars; see Earning on Tubaar and Cashing out.
For supporters: send Support
- Open the creator's profile and tap Support.
- Choose an amount in Baars. Tubaar shows the range you can give, from the creator's minimum up to the maximum for their plan.
- Confirm. The Baars are taken from your balance once and sent to the creator.
If you don't have enough Baars, get some first; see Getting Baars. If the button is missing or disabled, the creator isn't accepting Support right now, or you have reached your limit for that creator; Tubaar shows when you can support them again.
If you had monthly support
Monthly support no longer renews. An older monthly support stays visible on the creator's profile until the end of the period you already paid for, and you can still stop it there.
