Being a full-time Twitch streamer is, by no means, an easy task. Moderating an audience of thousands (if you can ever get there), keeping track of subscribers, donations, chat spam, and making sure the Twitch stream is running fine while giving the viewers decent, competitive, entertaining gameplay is not an easy task.

If you, as a Twitch streamer, want to give a pleasurable experience to your audience and don’t want to be absolutely overwhelmed by everything, then you’re definitely going to need some Twitch bots integrated with your stream. In this article, we will talk about what Twitch bots are and the ten best Twitch bots available for streamers.

What are Twitch Bots?

Twitch Bots are extremely powerful moderation tools that can interact with users on your behalf and do things that would take your focus off the game if you had to do it yourself. This includes chat moderation, spam moderation, giveaways, votes, timers, counters, donation popups, and more.

They improve the overall user experience of the people in your chat and make the stream much more enjoyable for everyone. You probably don’t need these add-on bots if you’re starting on Twitch. But, as your follower count increases, moderation and keeping up with chat requests become extremely difficult.

How Can You Add Twitch Bots to Your Stream?

The process of adding a bot to your stream depends highly on the kind of bot you’re trying to install. But, for most bots, the process is pretty simple.

All you have to do is log in to your Twitch account, go to the bot’s website, and install it. The bot will ask for some common permissions, and you shouldn’t have any issues authorizing them. On an unrelated note, if you aren’t sure of how you can get Twitch Logs, here’s how!

With that said, here are the 10 best Twitch Bots you can use for your Twitch streams.

1

Nightbot

Interact with Song Requests, Giveaways, and Timed messages

Customizable API to integrate Nightbot into your own website

Complete chat logs to figure out why a user was banned

There are times when Nightbot fails to work properly

Nightbot is probably the most used Twitch bot in the world. Millions of streamers around the world use it because of its advanced moderation tools that help you take your focus off the technicalities and focus on ‘entertaining your viewers’ instead.

You’re getting a long list of features; cloud compatibility. Advanced customization options, spam filters, custom commands, chat logs, and a tidy dashboard to manage everything.

Moobot

Song Requests, Giveaways, and Timed messages

No payment or download required

Collaborate with your mods by giving them access to Moobot

No custom APIs

Moobot is a major competitor of Nightbot, which performs the same functions as its better counterpart. Moobot is practically a personal mod that’s going to be watching your streams 24/7 and moderating them due to its integration into the cloud.

The main idea behind Moobot is convenience. The app is free. You can just sign up to Moobot using your Twitch credentials and manage it directly from the Twitch dashboard. The best part about Moobot is that you can give access to the dashboard to your Twitch mods, so your job gets even easier.

Streamlabs Chatbot

Available for both YouTube and Twitch

Comes with Discord and Streamlabs OBS integration

Custom sound effects to emphasize stream events

Only available for Windows (Sorry Linux users)

Formerly known as Ankhbot, the Streamlabs chatbot is an extremely powerful bot that was acquired by Streamlabs. This bot is particularly helpful if you’re using OBS to stream since that also belongs to Streamlabs, and both are integrated naturally. Like some of the other bots on the list, it works on the cloud, so there’s zero downtime.

4

Deepbot

Comes with a ton of features other bots don’t have

Convenient Discord integration

Fun feature allowing viewers to quote things you say

Subscription-based service

Deepbot is a great bot that is extremely underrated. It has a lot of useful features, but it never really got the popularity it deserved. It gives you all the basic tools that you could ask for from a bot; custom commands, custom donations options, votes, song requests, some mini-games to play with your chat, and much more. It also supports Discord integration, which is not something that even the bots ranked higher up on the list can do.

5

Phantombot

Fully open source and customizable

Integration with a bunch of tools popular amongst streamers

All the standard features common in Twitch Bots

Non-tech-savvy people won’t be able to reap the full benefits from Phantombot.

Phantombot is an extremely powerful Twitch bot that is unique due to one reason; customizability. The app is totally open-source, meaning that you can add your own code snippets to the bot to make it even better and suit your scenario much more conveniently.

It does take some development skills though, so you should know what you’re doing. You also get full integration with Discord, Twitter, TipeeeStream, StreamLabs, and StreamElements.

6

Wizebot

Included over a hundred features

Integrated over the cloud to ensure zero downtime

The choice of more than 800,000 players

Documentation might be too technical for beginners

Initially, Wizebot was the pet project of one person from France who coded the bot from the ground up. Today, it’s being used in 800,000+ streams and gets over 300,000 visits per month. The number of features that the bot has would never make you believe that there’s only one person behind it.

The best part about the app is the frequent updates. Wizebot is committed to giving you a single solution for all your Twitch-related requirements. So, if Wizebot doesn’t have a feature you’re looking for, check back, and there’s a good chance it’ll be added soon.

7

Coebot

Includes all the handy features a streamer needs

Integrated with Steam

Completely free

Limited in terms of functionalities

Coebot is probably the smallest bot on this list that is being used in the least amount of Twitch streams, but it’s fairly decent at the features that it does have. It gives you the basic moderation, custom commands, timed commands, stream quotes, and Steam integration. It’s good at the existing features, which got it featured on our 10 best twitch bots list, but it lacks the usual bells and whistles that other bots have.

8

Botisimo

Filled to the brim with handy features

Offer loyalty points to viewers

Advanced moderation and spam filters

Limited chat log retention

Some features restricted with a paywall

Botisimo is extremely unique as far as the feature list is concerned. Custom commands, automation, timed messages, dashboard, stream reports, and a bunch of overlays; it has it all. You can even set up a custom donation page that gets you money directly into your PayPal account.

The best part is that Botisimo doesn’t even take any fees. Apart from that, you can also earn rewards through the Botisimo Sponsorship program.

9

Stream Elements

Great for keeping chat engaged with mini-games

Twitter-to-chat connectivity

Built-in loyalty system

Not as popular or feature-rich as other bots

Stream Elements is another popular bot that’s mostly used for its eye-catching overlays and animations. It has a bunch of spam filter presets that can help you keep your chat family-friendly.

There are about 30 default commands, but you do have the option to create custom commands as well. Stream Elements isn’t really anywhere near the top of our 10 best Twitch bots, but it’s definitely on the better end of the spectrum.

Stay Hydrated

10/10 hydration

Probably just as useful as a fancy stopwatch

Are you constantly doing longer 6-10 hour streams but completely forget to hydrate yourself? Well, this bot is absolutely perfect for you. Just type in ‘!hydrate <your_username>’ in the chat, and you’ll get regular intervals from this bot to hydrate yourself.

10 Best Twitch Bots FAQs

Can I Install Multiple Twitch Moderation Bots?

There’s a misconception that you shouldn’t install more than one moderation bot since they might ‘conflict’ with each other. This is not true at all. There are very few cases where both bots might make similar decisions twice. But, other than that, there’s little to no harm in getting multiple bots.

Does Twitch Allow Bots?

Yes, moderation bots and other spam filtering bots are perfectly safe. As a matter of fact, some of the popular ones are even endorsed by Twitch. However, if you use view bots, there’s a fair chance you might get banned.

The answer is yes. Pretty much every remotely popular streamer on Twitch regularly uses bots in their streams. These include streamers the likes of Pokimane, Shroud, xQc, Dr.Disrespect, and virtually any other streamer you can think of!

Closing Thoughts

Every bot mentioned on our list can be called ‘good’ and has a specific use case that it is perfect for. The best way to pick one is to get a list of your requirements and see what would work best for you. If there’s a bot that meets your requirements and gives you the features you’re looking for, by all means, go for it even if it’s ranked last on the list.
