Power Level Costs

The Brawl Stars Wiki lists the power points and coins for each power level up to 9:

To levelPower pointsCoins
22020
33035
45075
580140
6130290
7210480
8340800
95501,250
Total to 91,4103,090

The wiki table stops at level 9, and other guides give different totals for levels 10 and 11, so check the in-game upgrade screen for those two levels.

Ability Costs

Abilities cost coins only. TopUpLive’s March 2026 guide lists:

AbilityCoins
Gadget1,000
Star Power2,000
Gear1,000 each
Hypercharge5,000

Added up, a gadget, a star power, two gears and a hypercharge come to 10,000 coins, more than three times the 3,090 coins of power levels 2 to 9. Finishing one or two main brawlers before spreading coins across many keeps that bill manageable.

Where Coins and Power Points Come From

Is the Brawl Pass Worth It?

The Brawl Stars Wiki lists the paid Brawl Pass at $6.99 a season ($2.99 for new buyers or anyone who has not bought it in six months) and Brawl Pass Plus at $9.99, which adds a 20% progression boost. The pass has 50 tiers, and gems can skip a tier for 30 each.

Pass XP comes from quests: the wiki lists 200 XP for small quests (two a day without the pass, three with it), 500 XP for medium quests and 1,000 XP for special quests. Because pass progress comes from quests, the paid pass only pays off if you play most days; otherwise the free track still pays coins and power points.

Gems

Gems are mostly bought. Small amounts come from the Brawl Pass free track and events. Supercell’s terms only allow buying virtual items from Supercell or its authorized partners, so a gem top-up should go to your Player Tag through an official or authorized store; the Brawl Stars page lists the top-up sellers we have reviewed.
