What BotRix lists
BotRix describes itself as a cloud bot for Kick, Twitch, YouTube and Discord. Its site lists antispam, custom commands with variables, timers, points and levels, giveaways, predictions, a viewer queue, song requests, widgets and alerts. It is free to start, with a Premium plan whose price its site does not list, and it marks the product as beta. Checked October 2026.
What StreamNeeds adds around the bot
StreamNeeds runs the chat bot from the same dashboard as your overlay, your alerts and your Discord. A viewer has one points balance whether they chat on Kick or in your Discord, and spends it in a points store, on raffle tickets or on giveaway entries. The overlay editor is drag-and-drop, so the giveaway panel, chat and goals your bot drives are on stream without a second tool.
- Custom commands and timed messages on the free plan
- One points balance across Kick and Discord
- Giveaways entered from Kick chat or Discord, one entry per person
- Drag-and-drop OBS overlay editor and alerts in the same dashboard
- Mod accounts with per-area permissions
- Slot requests, raffles and bonus hunt commands for slot streams on paid plans
Which one to pick
If you only need a chat bot across several platforms, BotRix covers that. If you want the bot, your Discord, points, giveaways and your overlay to work as one system, pick StreamNeeds: there is nothing to keep in sync between tools.
Moving over
Connect Kick and Discord to StreamNeeds, recreate your commands and timers, type /mod streamneeds in your Kick chat, and switch the old bot off so the two do not answer the same command.
