UPDAiTE vs TwitchTracker
Checked November 2026. UPDAiTE isn't affiliated with TwitchTracker.
TwitchTracker is where you look up Twitch numbers: how a channel or game has done and where it ranks. UPDAiTE doesn't do that. It tells you what to stream this weekend on Twitch or Kick, picked for your channel. For stats, use TwitchTracker. For a plan, use UPDAiTE.
Who each one suits
TwitchTracker suits anyone who wants to look up a Twitch channel or game, check rankings, see clips and subscriber counts, or pull a 30 day summary through its API.
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 TwitchTracker is the better pick
- You want to look up any Twitch channel's numbers, or see where a game ranks this week.
- You want clips, subscriber counts or totals for all of Twitch, like watch time and languages.
- You need numbers in your own scripts. Their API gives 30 day summaries for channels and games, and UPDAiTE has no API.
- You want a quick read on where the typical streamer finds viewers. Their Games to Stream list does that from the past 7 days.
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
Check a game's numbers on TwitchTracker, and use UPDAiTE to decide which games fit your channel this week and what to do on stream. They answer different questions, so plenty of streamers will want both.
