Quadraviz vs StreamElements
A StreamElements alternative for serious broadcast production.
StreamElements is great for what it is: a creator suite. Chatbot, tip overlays, alerts, a loyalty system, a media share queue. If you are a solo streamer building a Twitch channel, it covers a lot of ground.
Quadraviz is a different tool. We solve the broadcast-graphics half of a production: live scoreboards, animated nameplates, lower thirds, segment intros — the stuff that has to update mid-match and look like television. If you are running matches, not just a chat, this comparison is for you.

Where StreamElements wins
Be honest about the trade-offs.
Creator monetization out of the box
Tips, loyalty points, merch store integrations, song requests — StreamElements ships a stack of features that turn a Twitch channel into a small business. Quadraviz does not compete here.
Chatbot and moderation
A configurable chatbot with timers, commands, and moderation is part of the StreamElements core. We do not ship one.
Huge alert template library
Years of community alert templates exist for StreamElements. Quadraviz is newer and our template library is smaller, though growing.
Where Quadraviz wins
What you get on Quadraviz that you don't get elsewhere.
Real broadcast graphics, not just alerts
StreamElements alerts are image-and-text overlays driven by webhook events. Quadraviz scenes are full Rive compositions with bindable data fields, animated transitions, and persistent state — closer to what a TV truck would put on air.
Operator dashboard
Quadraviz gives a producer a control panel: team names, scores, timers, current lineup, all editable mid-stream with sub-200ms updates. StreamElements assumes the streamer is also the producer; we do not.
Multi-channel and team workflows
On Pro, run several channels from one account and let multiple operators drive the same overlay. Useful for caster duos, tournament desks, and league control rooms.
Designer-friendly via Rive
Your motion designer ships a Rive file, you bind the data once, the dashboard handles the rest. No re-implementing animation in CSS.

When to switch
Switch to Quadraviz when…

- You already use a separate chatbot and just need real broadcast graphics on top.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can I use Quadraviz alongside StreamElements?
Yes. Many users keep StreamElements for chatbot, tips, and alerts, and add Quadraviz as a second browser source for scoreboard and broadcast graphics.
Does Quadraviz have a chatbot?
No. We are focused on broadcast graphics. If you need a chatbot, pair Quadraviz with StreamElements, Nightbot, or a similar tool.
Will my StreamElements alert designs port over?
Not directly — Quadraviz scenes are Rive files, not HTML widgets. We can help recreate an alert design in Rive if you reach out to support.
How fast are updates pushed to air?
Under 200ms on average. Fast enough for live scoring.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free forever with one channel, five scenes, and a small Quadraviz watermark.
