9 Best Twitch Chat Bots of 2026

StreamElements covers more of the classic chatbot job list than any other free cloud bot here. Timers post announcements on a schedule, custom commands let you build your own chat vocabulary, and command keywords answer common questions without a mod typing anything. Moderation comes from automated spam filters, mod-only commands and user levels that give chosen viewers extra permissions. The loyalty side is where it stands out: viewers build points from watch time and subscriptions, spend them in a Stream Store, climb a leaderboard and enter giveaways, and a viewer queue lets them line up to play with you. More than 11 modules and mini-games such as raffles, contests and bingo fill quiet moments. StreamElements says everything is free forever, and it is now part of Razer. The limits are platform reach, since the chatbot page lists Twitch and YouTube only, and a busy dashboard that also sells sponsorships and merch.

Fossabot is built for chats that move too fast for humans alone. Its 15 spam filters catch links, caps, symbols and repetition, timing out for 600 seconds by default or 30 seconds as a first warning. Blocked terms can match anywhere in a message or use regex, and a lookalikes list swaps characters such as 3 to e and 1 to i before checking, so disguised viewbot spam still gets caught. Commands carry global and per-user cooldowns, and timers skip their turn when chat has been quiet, which keeps small streams from looking spammy. Chat alerts cover Twitch follows, subs, bits, raids, hype trains, predictions and more, plus YouTube, Kick and X events. Moderators get roles, and the audit log shows who changed what. You can import commands, timers and filters from Nightbot, and alerts too from StreamElements. The gap is community features: Fossabot does not advertise loyalty points, a store or chat games.

Streamlabs Cloudbot is the chatbot built into the Streamlabs account many streamers already use for alerts and overlays. It runs in the cloud, so there is nothing to install and it keeps working when your PC is off. Moderation filters cover caps, emotes, paragraphs, links, symbols and words. Custom commands and variables answer common questions and create chatter interactions, and polls, giveaways, quotes, Media Share, mini-games and emote combos keep chat busy. Loyalty points let viewers earn and spend a currency you name, with a loyalty store and giveaways that can raise top fans' odds. Streamlabs says all of this is free, and the bot supports Twitch, YouTube and Kick, with X chat support in its FAQ. The only paid Cloudbot perk is a custom bot name, which comes with Streamlabs Ultra from $15.75 per month alongside multistreaming, premium overlays and more. If you only want a bot, that upgrade is hard to justify.

Nightbot is the bot many streamers add first, and it has been helping them since 2012. It is cloud hosted, so there are no downloads or servers to look after. The core jobs are covered well: link a message to a command such as !uptime, schedule announcements at set intervals, and switch on automatic chat filters to remove many kinds of spam. Commands can use built-in variables and third-party APIs, and NightDev publishes API documentation for deeper setups. Action logging shows chat activity, command usage and triggered moderation rules, and you can add Managers to change settings for you and give selected users exemptions or special functions. The docs also cover song requests with playlists and a Discord integration, and Nightbot works on Twitch, YouTube and SOOP. What it lacks is a points economy: there is no loyalty system on the feature list, and fewer games than the bigger suites. The site does not show a price, so we marked it as pending.

Firebot is a desktop bot for Twitch that trades the convenience of the cloud for control. Its core is an effects system: you chain actions such as chat messages, sounds, alerts or currency changes onto commands, timers and event triggers without writing code. Want to give currency when someone subs or play fanfare on a donation? That is a trigger and an effect. You can create as many currencies as you like, earned the longer a viewer watches, and spend them in built-in games such as Slots and Heists or games you build yourself. A chat feed shows chat and moderation actions as they happen, viewer tracking ranks who watched and chatted most, and integrations cover Streamlabs, StreamElements, StreamLoots, Discord and Philips Hue. It is free and open source, maintained by a volunteer team with code and a wiki on GitHub. The trade-off is that Firebot runs on your machine, so it only works while that computer is on.

Streamer.bot is the power tool of Twitch bots. It runs locally rather than in the cloud, connecting directly to your streaming tools, and it gives you building blocks instead of fixed features: actions, triggers, built-in queues and commands that you combine into whatever interaction you can design. External scripts in Python, JavaScript and PowerShell are supported, and custom C# code runs as a first-class integration. It can send and receive data over WebSockets, HTTP or UDP, and plugins and extensions add more. A unified chat window merges Twitch, YouTube and Kick, with 7TV, FFZ and BTTV emotes, slash commands to set titles everywhere, and quick ban and timeout tools. Decks give you custom buttons and sliders to control the stream remotely, and Speaker.bot adds text to speech. Streamer.bot is privacy focused, with remote services opt-in. The price is the learning curve, and Windows is the main platform, with Linux and macOS marked experimental.

Sery_Bot solves a narrower problem than the other bots here, and it solves it well. It is a Twitch moderation bot focused on safety: it detects and stops hate raids in real time without blocking legitimate raids, silently blocks follow bots and removes their follows using a constantly updated list and pattern detection, and keeps working on chat spam as it evolves. Around that core sit useful extras, including timers, ad timers, break timers, auto raid shoutouts, clips, a raffle module, a voting module and multi-language support. The developer started it as a hobby project in 2018 and says it now protects over 250,000 streamers, free forever, with an optional Ko-fi tip jar. The docs are candid that it is not a replacement for human mods, and it is Twitch only: the FAQ says it will never support Kick. Most streamers run it next to a main bot such as StreamElements or Fossabot.

WizeBot bundles a Twitch moderation bot with overlays, alerts, community management and protection, all in one cloud service. Because it is hosted, there is nothing to install, and WizeBot says your bot is ready in less than 5 minutes and available at any time. The service claims more than 100 features, developed from user requests with weekly updates, and more than a million streamers using it. Live counters on the homepage show messages processed, follows, streams online and rewards handed out in real time, which gives a sense of scale. Tools such as a streaming panel, a viewer panel and MultiTwitch sit next to the bot, and the site is translated into many languages, which suits non-English channels. The weak spot is documentation on the public pages: the homepage describes categories rather than individual modules, so expect to explore the dashboard to find timers, commands and rewards. It is Twitch only.

Moobot is one of the oldest Twitch bots and says the Twitch community has trusted it for over 18 years. It is cloud hosted and verified on Twitch, and you can sign up with your Twitch account in seconds. It acts as an automatic mod, removing spam and unwanted messages with adjustable filters, pre-approved links and clips, and blocked words. Built-in and custom commands share your socials or sponsors, and auto-posts keep viewers informed. Its strength is subscriber perks: Moobot can relax moderation for subs, give them extra poll votes and restrict features to subs. Song requests, giveaways, polls and game voting add engagement, and team access lets you set exactly what each mod can do. The free plan is limited to 25 custom commands, 3 timers and 10 blocked words. MoobotPlus Affiliate, Partner and Business plans raise those limits and add loyalty features, with a custom bot name on Business, but prices sit inside the dashboard, so we marked them pending.
