Everything for TikTok LIVE — free to start, on every platform.
Looking at StreamForge? Here’s an honest, side-by-side look. StreamOverlay gives you the same games, gift animations and overlays — plus a real free plan, all four platforms on every tier, and OBS links engineered not to break mid-stream.
No card needed. Free forever.
Start for free
StreamForge has no free plan and no trial. StreamOverlay is free forever with no card — and Pro adds a 7-day free trial on top.
All platforms, one price
StreamForge’s entry plan runs one platform at a time; all four need its $20 tier. With StreamOverlay, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube and Kick are included on every plan — Free included.
Links that just work
A fixed-port OBS link that never drifts, HTTPS for TikTok LIVE Studio, and events that fire once and never replay late — the reliability layer the whole category trips over.

Why streamers pick StreamOverlay
An engagement economy, not just alerts
Viewers earn points in your LIVE and spend them on games you price — coin flip, slots, roulette, plinko, and a full Deal or No Deal. It keeps a chat watching and gifting, not just an alert that flashes once.
Know what you earn
A historical income tracker records your gifts and earnings across every platform — so you can see your best nights and your biggest supporters, not just a number that resets when the stream ends.
Official TikTok gift animations
When a viewer sends a gift, its real TikTok animation plays on your overlay — rendered transparently over your scene. A premium touch that makes gifting feel worth it.

Built in the UK, privacy-first
A UK company with GDPR-grade handling of your data. Platform sign-ins use each platform’s official login, and YouTube access is read-only — it never posts on your behalf.
Prove it before you pay
Fire a real test gift through the live pipeline and watch it hit OBS during setup. You see it working before you ever spend — because Free means free.
Try it free — no card, every platform.
