Tiers, feature gates and branding
Three tiers, grouped by how much partners want the features. Tiers are cumulative: Live includes Engage, which includes Extras. Your tier is the highest one whose features you use, and it sets EveryCord's share of the revenue from the EveryCord-powered features in your app, after app store fees.
| Tier | Share | Features | Branding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extras | 10% | accounts, Apple Watch recording, sharing to Messages, direct messages, Drops, Mac and Apple Vision Pro | "Powered by EveryCord" |
| Engage | 20% | Extras, plus Sparks, video requests and Boosts, overlays, captions, clips and replays, bonding and the EveryCord Relay | the EveryCord mark on streams, "Sparks sent via EveryCord" |
| Live | 30% | Engage, plus worldwide live delivery and adaptive upload, multistreaming over RTMP and SRT, screen capture and facecam, co-hosts and Picture in Picture, live chat and moderation | as agreed; can be fully unbranded |
Accounts come with every tier. Your partner agreement can set a different share; the share applies only to revenue from EveryCord-powered features.

How the gates work
GET /v1/partner/configreturnstierandfeatures(all 16 keys). The SDK hides what your tier does not include: checkEveryCord.isEnabled(.cohosts)(iOS) orEveryCord.isEnabled(EveryCordFeature.COHOSTS)(Android) before showing a feature's UI.- The server enforces the tier on every partner request. A request for a feature above your tier answers
403 partner_tierwitherror.feature(the key) anderror.tier(the tier that includes it). - A feature in your tier can still be turned off for one app by EveryCord;
isEnabledthen returns false.
Branding
GET /v1/partner/config returns branding, and the SDK draws it. You cannot turn it off in code.
| Tier | watermark | sparksCredit | poweredBy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extras | false | false | true |
| Engage | true | true | true |
| Live | as agreed, default false | as agreed, default false | as agreed, default false |
watermark: the EveryCord mark, drawn by the SDK into the bottom-right of the live video, so every destination shows it.sparksCredit: "Sparks sent via EveryCord" on every gift, in chat and in the gift's caption.poweredBy: "Powered by EveryCord" where EveryCord features appear: the player, the chat and the Sparks views.
On the Extras tier, use "Powered by EveryCord" also in your own screens that present an EveryCord feature (for example a Drops screen you design yourself).
Limits
limits in your configuration:
| Limit | Live tier | Other tiers |
|---|---|---|
maxDestinations | 3 | 0 |
maxCohosts | 3 | 0 |
maxBitrateKbps | 4500 | 0 |
0 means the tier has no such feature.
Changing tier
Pick a tier when you sign up; EveryCord can change it at any time in agreement with you. The SDK picks up a new tier within about a minute (the configuration is cached for 60 seconds).
The EveryCord SDKs and the Partner API are in early access. For access, keys and questions, write to services@symaro.com.
These docs are also on GitHub with the install files: tiers-branding.md in SymaroTeam/everycord-sdk.
