Cons Need better template options. I wish there was a mobile version.

Freelancer Computer Software ### "My Experience with StreamElements" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 6, 2022 Love streamelements and would highly recommend. Pros Easy to use and comes with many features that are beneficial to streamers. Love how you can create your own overlays, set up your own merchandise store. Cons I think running some of the features such as the overlays through browser source may prove tough for those that do not have great, stable internet. Switched from [Streamlabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/228751/Streamlabs/) Was not a huge fan of using streamlabs and the abundance of features on streamelements made it more appealing for me.

Definitely my favorite! Pros I love how stream elements for many reasons being: - Easy to use - Complete solution for all needs - Simple yet very well made Cons It is really hard to say anything negative about this software but I would say mainly at the beginning for the first times getting used to it, maybe a bit more tips to help would be good but really perfect overall Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

IT Consultant Computer Networking ### "Streamelements makes streaming easy" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 13, 2022 I am a very happy client. I mentioned above the reasons but left out the ability of chat moderation with their bot and their loyalty point system which makes viewer experience alot more fun. The ease of use of the ability to go live with a click of a button makes me happier than any other program has made me in years. Pros I am a streamer on Twitch and Youtube and use Streamelements to create my Overlays, Merch and Tip stores. I also use the plugin on OBS to make life easier in OBS. Their site is so simple to use too. Overall I love the amount of things I can do in one place to get my stream going. Cons The free version has limited Merch sizes and Overlays. Nothing to really help a new streamer get climb the ladder to success.

SEO Manager Food & Beverages ### "Good for a free tool" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 February 17, 2022 Pros The widget and overlay maker is really powerful. I love that I can use any overlay I've made as a browser source as opposed to managing all of the files locally. Cons Streamelements has a pretty steep learning curve. It's not as intuitive as some of the other options out there. If you have the time to sit and fiddle with things for a long time this is a good option, but I don't have the time unfortunatly Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Filmmaker Entertainment ### "Some of the best affordable tools for livestreamers" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 11, 2022 Pros StreamElements offers an impressive array of intuitive features and functions of livestreams, the bulk of which are available for no cost. StreamElements seems to respect its free users in a way other similar services do not. This platform also plays very nicely with other software and applications, like OBS Studio and YouTube. Cons Some of the templates and other content provided through StreamElements do not seem very up to date or consistently supported. Switched from [Streamlabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/228751/Streamlabs/) Purely because StreamElements doesn't try to nickle and dime me as much as Streamlabs.
