UPDAiTE vs Streams Charts
Checked November 2026. UPDAiTE isn't affiliated with Streams Charts.
Streams Charts covers more platforms than UPDAiTE: Twitch, YouTube, Kick and other platforms, with paid plans from single streamers up to teams and companies. UPDAiTE does one thing. Every Friday it picks ten game and stream ideas for your Twitch or Kick channel. For analytics across platforms, use Streams Charts. For what to stream this weekend, use UPDAiTE.
Who each one suits
Streams Charts suits streamers, teams and companies who want analytics across several streaming platforms, with plans named Streamer, PRO and Enterprise.
UPDAiTE suits small and new streamers on Twitch or Kick who want to know which game to stream next and what to do with it.

Where Streams Charts is the better pick
- You stream on YouTube or another platform beyond Twitch and Kick.
- You run a team, an agency or a brand and research many channels at once. Their PRO, Enterprise and team plans cover that.
- You need streaming data in your own tools through an API.
- You want live numbers. UPDAiTE works weekly.
Where UPDAiTE fits
UPDAiTE starts from your channel. You answer a few questions about your size, the games you play, your platform and your PC, and every Friday afternoon ET you get ten ideas. Each one says why it's trending this week, shows the numbers behind it when we have them, and gives you one thing to do on stream. A new streamer and a 200 viewer channel in the same game get different lists.
It has limits worth knowing. It covers Twitch and Kick only, and its numbers come from English-language streams. It works weekly, not live. Its own history starts October 26, 2026, so it can't show you last year. Kick doesn't offer clips or past broadcasts through its API, so moments from Kick streams come without a video link.
Using both
Use Streams Charts to see how games and channels are doing across platforms, and UPDAiTE to decide which games fit your channel this week and what to do on stream. They answer different questions.
