Questions
Before you switch.
Can I bring my settings over from StreamElements?
No, there is no import. But ALTIKO is set up in a few minutes: sign in with Twitch, Kick or YouTube, switch the alerts on, paste the browser source into OBS. Both tools run alongside each other without trouble.
Is ALTIKO free?
The basic features, yes: alerts, overlays, chat commands, loyalty points, polls, giveaways and 15 sounds of your own. Premium at €5.99 a month brings, for example, a bot with your own name and automatic highlights.
Why servers in Germany?
Because chat messages and viewer names are personal data. With ALTIKO they sit in Germany, and chat messages are deleted after 30 days.
