Your giveaway should be a moment on stream, not a line in your dashboard
Streamlabs’ Cloudbot giveaway is resolved where the streamer is looking: its own guide says “when the Giveaway is closed you will be able to Pick a Winner”, then shows you their chat messages so you can check they are still around. Kloot runs the draw on your overlay, and the winner finds out on their own phone.

What is a Streamlabs giveaway alternative with an on-stream reveal?
Kloot. Streamlabs’ Cloudbot giveaway is entered with a chat command and resolved in the streamer’s dashboard. Kloot puts a QR code on your overlay, spins the wheel on screen where the audience can see it, and shows the winner a claim screen on their own phone. Every draw publishes a receipt. Free for two a month, no card.
Nothing to install
Kloot is a browser source plus a web control deck. No separate streaming app to download or learn — it sits on top of the OBS you already run.
Lighter on your PC
One browser source instead of a heavy desktop suite stacking animated widgets — the usual cause of dropped frames mid-stream.
Billing you can trust
Clear plans, one-tap cancel, no surprise renewals. You always know what you’re paying and can stop any time.

The draw happens on screen
Streamlabs’ guide describes closing the giveaway and picking a winner in the dashboard, then reading their chat messages to check they are active. Kloot spins on the overlay so the room watches it land.
Winner claims from their phone, anywhere
No tap inside the window and Kloot rerolls on the server, even with the panel closed — so an absent winner does not stall the stream.
Entry without a chat account or a modded bot
Cloudbot must be modded in your chat (/mod Streamlabs on Twitch and Kick, moderator in YouTube Studio) and viewers enter by typing. Anyone without chat open — most of a phone audience — never sees it.
Published fairness receipt
Kloot commits to a random seed before entries close and publishes it afterwards, with entrants as fingerprints rather than names.

Switch to a lighter setup in 4 steps
Keep your streaming software
Stay on OBS (or even Streamlabs Desktop). Add Kloot’s single overlay URL as a new Browser source — nothing to uninstall.
Rebuild your live overlays on the deck
Recreate your lower thirds, polls, giveaways and sponsor reads in Kloot. Most streamers are set up in under an hour.
Decide what stays
Keep Streamlabs for what it does well (full streaming software, automated alerts, editing tools). Move your live production to Kloot.
Go live from your phone or browser
Fire everything from the deck. Upgrade when you’re ready and the Kloot badge disappears immediately.
Choose Kloot if…
- You want a lightweight overlay and control layer on top of the OBS you already use — no install.
- You want cross-platform polls and giveaways viewers join by QR or code, with no chat bot.
- You want clear, cancel-anytime billing and a free tier to start.
Stick with Streamlabs if…
- You want all-in-one streaming software that replaces OBS entirely.
- You rely on automated alerts that fire on real subs, follows and tips — Kloot is manual-fire.
- You use its bundled editing, clip and console tools. (You can run both — Kloot is just another browser source.)
Frequently asked
Can I try Kloot Pro before paying?
Yes. The first 24 hours of Pro are free: card required, and if you cancel before they end you pay nothing. After that Pro is $9/month or $79/year, cancel anytime. Free has no time limit at all.
Does Kloot replace Streamlabs Desktop?
No — Kloot runs on top of your streaming software (OBS or Streamlabs Desktop) as one browser source. It replaces the overlay and widget clutter, not the encoder itself.
Will Kloot use less CPU than Streamlabs widgets?
Kloot runs every tool through one browser source instead of stacking a separate animated widget per element — a common cause of dropped frames. It’s built to stay light; test it on your machine to be sure.
Do alerts fire automatically?
No — by design. You fire alerts yourself from your deck the moment it happens, so nothing pops up unexpectedly mid-play.
Is Kloot cheaper than Streamlabs Ultra?
Different scope. Kloot's free tier already runs 2 giveaways and 2 polls a month; Pro is $9/mo or $79/yr. Streamlabs Ultra is about $27/mo and bundles editing and clip tools Kloot doesn't include.
Can I keep Streamlabs while I try Kloot?
Yes — add Kloot as another browser source. There’s nothing to uninstall and no account to disconnect.
Which plan should I start on?
Start Free — it runs 2 giveaways and 2 polls a month on one overlay URL. Pro ($9/mo or $79/yr) removes the limit, emails prize codes, adds sponsor overlays and drops the Kloot badge.
