The pay system in Brawl Stars is very similar to Supercells other flagship mobile games. There are three forms of currency in the game including Gems, Coins, and Brawl Chips. These currencies do not affect the pay to win aspect of the game, as a skilled player with low-level brawlers can easily beat a max level brawler. However, the troubling aspect of the game is that it is costly to actually fully experience the gameplay.

The only currency which is obtained by playing is Coins. However, there is a maximum amount of Coins which can be earned each day, and it varies depending on the game mode rotation. Each time the game mode and map changes the game will give the player a few Coins. The final way to earn Coins is through the season end rewards, as at the end of every season you are rewarded Coins based on the trophy level of your top brawler. Coins are used to buy Brawl Boxes which provide the resources such as characters, or elixir.

The only way to obtain Gems is through in-app purchases. The cost of which is rather steep considering the benefits of the Gems. Gems are essentially an alternative way to purchase a Brawl Box. The issue is that Brawl Boxes do not provide much. That is due to it being extremely difficult to unlock brawlers who are not of the common category of rareness.

Finally, Brawl Chips are given to the player when they obtain a duplicate brawler. These Chips can then be used to unlock any brawlers who have not been previously unlocked. Unfortunately, the only brawlers who can realistically be unlocked through these Chips are common, rare, super rare, and epic. Mythical and legendary brawlers cost an absurd amount considering the number of chips given per duplicate brawler. Even the realistic brawlers will take a very long time to earn enough chips for.
