# Streamer.bot alternative

How Bloopbot compares with Streamer.bot: flows that run on Bloopbot’s servers when your PC is off, built on a canvas in your browser with no code.

Checked September 2026 against [Streamer.bot](https://streamer.bot).

## Streamer.bot and Bloopbot compared

Both are free to start. They differ in where the bot runs and how you build it.

|  | Streamer.bot | Bloopbot |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where it runs | An app on your Windows PC | Bloopbot’s servers |
| PC must stay on | Yes | No |
| Mac and Linux | Windows only | Any computer with a browser |
| Building logic | Lists of sub-actions, plus C# for anything custom | A canvas of triggers, checks and actions |
| Shared state | Global and per-user variables | Channel and per-viewer variables that every flow can read |
| Overlays and alerts | Build your own on its WebSocket or HTTP server | Hosted overlays you add to OBS as a Browser Source |
| Apps on your PC | OBS, Stream Deck, VTube Studio, Voicemod and more | A Stream Deck key can start a flow through its URL; nothing else on your PC |
| Platforms | Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Trovo | Twitch |
| Price | Free, with an optional Patreon tier for cloud backups | Free plan |

## The same ideas, drawn instead of listed

An action becomes a flow, and each sub-action becomes a step you can see on the canvas. There’s no importer, so you rebuild the actions you use most; the [guide](https://bloopbot.com/docs/coming-from-streamer-bot) maps each one.

|  | Streamer.bot | Bloopbot |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Actions | An action and its sub-actions | A flow |
| Triggers | Triggers on an action | The flow’s trigger, such as **Chat command** or **On a reward redeemed** |
| Logic | If / Else and Switch sub-actions | Check steps, each with a path for yes and a path for no |
| Loops | While sub-actions | **For each**, once per item in a list |
| State | Global and user variables | Variables, declared once and read anywhere as `$(var.name)` |
| Sharing | Extensions you import | Flow packs, the Community group and shared flow files |

## What changes when the bot isn’t on your PC

- Your chat commands and moderation filters keep answering when your PC is off, and you can change a flow from any browser.
- You start from a ready-made pack, such as **Starter**, then change the steps you want.
- Your overlays are hosted, so OBS loads the same URL on whichever PC you stream from.
- An editor you trust can sign in with their own Twitch account and fix a flow for you. Editors may not be included on your plan.

![The Explore packs page: the category filters All, Alerts, Moderation, Music, Community and Utility, then the Starter pack card marked Popular with 11 flows and the Alerts pack card marked New with 7 flows, whose description says it shows your alert designs on your overlay with a thank-you in chat, each with its Use pack button.](https://bloopbot.com/docs/screenshots/flow-templates.jpg)

Hosted overlays and webhook triggers may not be available on your channel yet. [What your plan includes](https://bloopbot.com/docs/what-your-plan-includes) shows what yours has.

## When Streamer.bot is the better fit

If your bot switches OBS scenes, drives VTube Studio, Voicemod or other apps on your PC, runs your own C# code, or you stream to YouTube, Kick or Trovo, Streamer.bot does that and Bloopbot doesn’t. If you need both, you can keep Streamer.bot for your PC and hand chat to Bloopbot, as long as the two never answer the same command.
