StreamOptima is a Twitch and Kick influencer discovery tool that helps brands and agencies find, evaluate, and hire live streaming creators from a database of 20,000+ indexed channels. Filters include country, language, content category, average concurrent viewers, platform, and Creator Integrity Score.
Three steps from search to shortlist — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Narrow your search by country, language, content category (Gaming, Just Chatting, Slots & Casino, Crypto), platform (Twitch or Kick), and minimum average concurrent viewers.
Review creator cards surfacing the metrics that matter: average concurrent viewers, engagement rate, Creator Integrity Score, and follower count — sorted by relevance.
Click into full creator profiles for deeper analytics, then export professional PDF reports ready to share with stakeholders and brand partners.
Follower counts on Twitch are accumulated over years and rarely reflect who is actually watching a stream today. Brands that budget based on followers consistently overpay for under-performing placements. Average Concurrent Viewers (ACV) measures the real live audience a creator delivers during a stream — the number that actually sees your sponsorship. StreamOptima puts ACV front and centre so every budget decision is grounded in verified reach, not historical vanity metrics.

Built for the teams that manage brand relationships with live streaming creators.
The most effective way to find Twitch influencers for your brand is to filter by stream-native metrics — not follower counts. Here’s the process we recommend:
Define your campaign goals
Clarify whether you’re targeting awareness (reach), engagement (chat interaction), or conversions (clicks, codes). This determines which metrics to prioritise in your search.
Set your targeting criteria
Filter by country (50+ supported), language, and content niche. Looking to find Kick influencers alongside Twitch? StreamOptima is the only platform that covers both with equal depth.
Filter by average concurrent viewers, not follower count
ACV is the only metric that reflects who actually watches a sponsored stream. A creator with 50,000 followers and 300 ACV delivers a fraction of the reach of a creator with 1,500 ACV.
Evaluate with CIS score and brand safety assessment
Every profile includes a Creator Integrity Score and a 5-factor brand safety score covering content category, mature flags, title keywords, partnership history, and audience authenticity.
Compare shortlisted creators with audience overlap analysis
Use Compare Mode to run side-by-side comparisons. Audience overlap is calculated from active chat data — not follower overlap — giving you a truer picture of unique reach across your shortlist.
Once you have your shortlist, use the Twitch Sponsorship Calculator to estimate fair market rates before reaching out. This Twitch influencer discovery process typically cuts research time from days to under an hour.
StreamOptima is a Twitch and Kick influencer discovery and evaluation platform — not a marketplace or talent agency. We don’t intermediate deals or manage contracts. What we do is give you the verified data to make confident hiring decisions before you reach out.
The workflow most teams use to hire Twitch influencers: search and shortlist in StreamOptima, export PDF reports to align your team on the final candidates, then contact creators directly with a brief and budget range. Because you’ve already validated ACV, brand safety, and audience authenticity, negotiations are faster and placements perform better.
Before making contact, use the Twitch Sponsorship Calculator to estimate a fair rate based on the creator’s average concurrent viewers and expected stream hours. Going in with a data-backed budget range signals professionalism and speeds up agreement — whether you’re hiring one creator or building a roster of ten.
