The honest take
Streamlabs is a full streaming suite — software, alerts, themes, merch, and more. It does a lot, and plenty of streamers rely on it. But if donations are your bread and butter, you're paying monthly for features you might never touch while the platform takes its cut. ZeroCut handles donations, handles them well, and stays out of your wallet. And it's the only one that shows you which stream actually made the money — every session, every dollar, every visitor who didn't donate, side by side.
Use Streamlabsif…
- You want an all-in-one streaming suite with desktop software
- You need a built-in merch store and theme marketplace
- You're deep in the Streamlabs ecosystem and switching feels expensive
Use ZeroCut if…
- Donations are your main revenue and you want every dollar
- You're done paying monthly for features you barely use
- You want to know which stream actually made the money — not just that money came in
The bill keeps growing
