Run the same giveaway everywhere you stream, not just on Twitch
StreamElements’ Giveaways module is labelled “Available on: Twitch”, and tickets are bought with loyalty points earned by watching there. Kloot’s giveaway is a QR code on your overlay, so the same draw runs on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok — or in a room with a projector.
Competitor facts verified October 2026. We keep this page current.
Is there a StreamElements giveaway alternative that works off Twitch?
Yes. StreamElements’ Giveaways module is documented as Twitch-only, and tickets are bought with loyalty points earned on that channel. Kloot puts a QR code on your overlay instead, so viewers enter with one scan on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok or in person. The winner claims from their phone and every draw publishes a receipt. Free for two giveaways a month, no card.
Widget by widget: what Kloot has instead
StreamElements overlays are stored in the cloud and added to OBS as a browser source, one URL per overlay (StreamElements help center, as of October 2026). Kloot is one browser source for every tool, fired from a deck of keys on your phone or a Stream Deck.
Alertbox → Kloot alerts you fire from a key. Goals → a Kloot counter you bump from a key or a phone. KappaGen and HypeCup → Kloot emoji bursts and hype effects. Sponsorship overlay → Kloot sponsor overlays (Pro). Labels and custom widgets → Kloot text overlays, lower thirds, tickers and full screens.
What Kloot does not do
Kloot does not read your chat or your platform’s events. An alert does not fire on its own when someone follows, subscribes or tips, a goal does not fill itself from donations, and there is no chat box overlay or tipping page. If those run your stream, keep StreamElements for them and add Kloot for the parts you press.
The difference in 30 seconds
Lighter on your PC
Every tool runs through one browser source instead of stacking a separate animated widget per element — the usual cause of overlay CPU drain in OBS. Light to load, light to run.
One deck, not a dozen widgets
Polls, giveaways, hype effects, lower thirds, ticker, sponsors, borders, counters and screens all fire from a single control deck on your browser or phone — nothing to stitch together.
Your audience joins in one tap
Polls and giveaways use a QR code and join code — no chat command, no bot, no extension — so they work the same on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, or at an in-person event.
Kloot vs StreamElements

Live, hands-on control deck
Kloot is a deck you fire by hand, live — full control over what hits the screen and exactly when.
One lightweight browser source
Every tool shares a single source instead of a separate animated widget per element — the usual cause of overlay CPU drain.

One-tap QR / join-code voting

Giveaways with spin wheel + auto-email prizes
Same setup on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok & IRL
Start without connecting your account
Sponsor ad overlays (timed, auto-loop)
Unified styling & motion across every tool
Giveaway runs off Twitch
StreamElements’ Giveaways module documentation is labelled “Available on: Twitch”. Entry is by !ticket / !enter in chat or a public giveaway page, with tickets bought using loyalty points.
Winner claims from their phone, anywhere
Kloot shows the winner a claim screen wherever they are watching; no tap in time and it rerolls automatically, server-side. StreamElements resolves the draw in the dashboard.
Published fairness receipt
Every Kloot draw commits to a random seed before entries close and publishes it after, with entrants recorded as fingerprints rather than names. It proves the pick was fixed before the spin — not a lottery-grade guarantee.
Official rules shown to entrants by default
Kloot generates eligibility, age and the platform’s own required disclaimer from your setup. The country list is displayed, not enforced — there is no geo-blocking.
Entry without an account on your platform
Loyalty points are earned by watching the channel, so a first-time viewer cannot enter a ticketed StreamElements giveaway on the spot.

Move your overlays in 4 steps
Keep StreamElements running — no rush
Nothing to uninstall. Add Kloot’s single overlay URL as a new Browser source in OBS or Streamlabs, alongside what you already have.
Rebuild the overlays you fire by hand
Recreate your lower thirds, polls, giveaways and sponsor reads on your Kloot control deck. Most streamers are set up in well under an hour.
Decide what stays and what moves
Keep StreamElements for what it does well (chatbot, automated alerts, tipping). Move your live production — polls, giveaways, hype, lower thirds — to Kloot.
Go live from your phone or browser
Fire everything from the deck while you stream. Upgrade when you’re ready and the Kloot badge disappears immediately.
Choose Kloot if…
- You want a lightweight, hands-on deck to run polls, giveaways, hype, lower thirds and sponsor reads live.
- You stream on more than one platform (or IRL) and want QR / join-code voting and entries with no chat bot.
- You want a light overlay that’s fast to set up and doesn’t need your account connected to get going.
Stick with (or pair) StreamElements if…
- You rely on automated alerts that fire on real subs, follows and tips — Kloot is manual-fire and doesn’t do this.
- A built-in chatbot or tipping / donation pages are core to your stream — Kloot has neither.
- You use its loyalty points and store. (You can run both — Kloot is just another browser source.)
Frequently asked
Is StreamElements shutting down?
No — it was acquired. Razer announced on July 31, 2026 that it had bought the StreamElements assets, and the platform keeps running as a standalone product under a Razer subsidiary: same logins, same overlays, alerts and chatbot. Its legacy SE.Pay tipping is being discontinued on December 31, 2026, with balances withdrawable until then; card tips now go through Stripe, and PayPal tipping continues. As of October 2026.
Can Kloot fully replace StreamElements?
For your overlays and live production — polls, giveaways, lower thirds, sponsors, hype effects — yes. For an automated chatbot and tipping pages, no; Kloot does not do those, and many streamers happily run both side by side.
Will Kloot’s overlays use less CPU?
Kloot runs every tool through one browser source and avoids stacking a separate animated widget per element — a common cause of overlay CPU drain in OBS. It is built to stay light; for your exact setup, the honest answer is to test it on your machine.
Do I need to connect my Twitch or YouTube account?
No. You paste one overlay URL into OBS and fire tools from your deck. Poll votes and giveaway entries come in through a QR code and join code, so nothing needs to be connected to your channel.
Is Kloot free?
Yes, and the free tier runs real giveaways and polls — 2 of each a month, QR entry included, with a Kloot badge. Pro ($9/mo or $79/yr) removes the monthly limit, emails prize codes to winners, adds sponsor overlays and removes the Kloot badge. There is also a $5 Event Pass for a single event of 48 hours.
Can I keep my StreamElements setup while I try Kloot?
Yes. Add Kloot as another browser source — there is nothing to uninstall and no account to disconnect. Run them together for as long as you like.
