Some of the most popular and best include:
- Nightbot
- Moobot
- Streamlabs Bot
- PhantomBot

Donation tools
There are two different types of donations on Twitch, these include Bits and Donations.
Twitch Bits / Cheering
Donations (and tips)
Using the below tools, you can set up a Paypal, Google Wallet or Cash.me to allow users to donate money from their accounts to yours. (You may also use a tool such as Patreon or GameWisp to get a monthly subscription.)
But there are individual donation tools such as:
- Streamtip ? Streamtip is one of the best way for live streamers to collect tips on the Internet.
- Treatstream
However, donation tools tend to act as total management dashboards such as:
- Streamlabs
- StreamElements
- Muxy
- StreamJar
And now for some more in-depth information on those tools:

The best Twitch Trackers
Do you need help tracking your Twitch streaming success with followers/donations? Or just stalking your favourite broadcaster? These tools may be perfect for you.
- TwitchTracker
- SullyGnome
- Socialblade
- Twitch?s own stats dashboard
Twitch recently updated their stats page within every Dashboard. It now shows a ?stream-first? and a new heatmap mode will show how much you have streamed over the past hour.
Twitter Analytics
If you are using Twitter to promote your stream (which you should be?) then Twitter Analytics let you see how these tweets are doing and whether anyone is seeing or engaging with them.
Now you understand the best tools to use, read our full guide to your first stream on Twitch:
