About the uncertainty surrounding StreamElements

Last updated: May 2026

StreamElements has announced it's looking for a buyer and its future is uncertain. If you relied on their tools, here's a practical rundown of what's out there, including what Streamloots covers and where else to look.

For alerts, overlays, and automations

This isn't something Streamloots does, so here are two tools we'd point you to:

MixItUp (Free) A full-featured bot and automation tool that works directly with Streamloots. Good for commands, timers, events, and building out your whole automation setup. Compatible with Twitch, YouTube, Trovo, and more.

Streamer.bot (Free) Flexible and powerful, used by a lot of streamers on Twitch and YouTube. Great for custom triggers, actions, and connecting different tools together.

What Streamloots offers, free for everyone

Here's what's available to every creator:

Tips (new!)  Let your viewers support you directly. Payouts land on the 1st and 15th of every month, every time.

Marathon Timer A viewer-driven timer that keeps your stream going based on what your community does. Free for everyone.

Cards Your community buys card packs and redeems them live on stream: challenges, sound effects, in-game stuff, whatever you set up. One of the most fun ways to monetize a stream.

Subscriptions Recurring support from your biggest fans, with an 80% revenue share (90% when you hit Partner).

Auctions Let your community bid on exclusive experiences. Works great for high-value rewards like gaming sessions, shoutouts, or custom interactions.
