The StreamElements alternative for community prizes & fair giveaways
StreamElements is a strong, free all-rounder for chatbot, loyalty, tipping, and overlays. StreamWizard takes a different angle: an operational giveaway and community prize system with claim windows, Discord approvals, activity fairness, and winner draws from real watchtime. And you don't start from zero – points and watchtime can be imported from StreamElements.

When switching is worth it
You give away real prizes
Physical and community prizes with image proof, status (available/drawn/claimed/returned), and controlled returns instead of prizes lost in chat.
You want provable fairness
A live activity check, pity logic with min/max bounds, cooldowns, and dedup ensure active viewers are drawn fairly.
Your team works in Discord
Submitting, reviewing, approving, and moderating prizes runs as a structured Discord process with status threads instead of DMs.
You want to bring your data
The StreamElements import carries over points and watchtime, so long-time viewers keep their standing.
Common questions about the StreamElements alternative
Can I switch from StreamElements to StreamWizard without losing data?
Yes. StreamWizard offers a StreamElements import for points and watchtime, so your viewers' existing community activity carries over instead of starting from zero.
Is StreamWizard free like StreamElements?
No. StreamElements is free. StreamWizard is paid, but offers a 7-day premium trial, maintained releases, and support. In return it is not an all-in-one chatbot, but a focused giveaway, community prize, and claim system.
What does StreamWizard do that StreamElements giveaways do not?
Mainly the lifecycle of real community and physical prizes: claim windows via !claim, reminders and controlled return of unclaimed prizes, a Discord prize forum with submission and moderation approval, image proof for physical prizes, plus activity fairness with a live activity check, pity logic, cooldowns, and dedup.
Does StreamWizard replace StreamElements completely?
Not necessarily. StreamElements is a broad all-rounder with chatbot, loyalty, tipping, and overlays. StreamWizard focuses on the giveaway, prize, and claim system and adds the 24/7 OBSBot. Many creators use both, and the import lets them bring StreamElements points and watchtime along.
Does the giveaway system work with Twitch?
Yes. The giveaway and streamstats system is built for Twitch communities: entry via Twitch chat and whisper, Twitch OAuth for watchtime and activity, public creator profiles, and overlays.
