Comparison
ItsBagelBot vs Nightbot
Nightbot has moderated Twitch chat for over a decade and does it well. Here is where the two differ, plainly.
| Feature | ItsBagelBot | Nightbot |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free forever, every feature. Premium only buys message priority. | Free. |
| Song requests | Real Spotify queue: !sr adds the track to the Spotify player the streamer is actually running. | Playlist-based requests around YouTube and SoundCloud; Spotify’s queue is not driven directly. |
| Moderation | Multi-layer: static rule gates, a classifier jury, and a cross-channel raid-signature network. | Spam protection with filters for links, caps, repetition and blacklisted terms. |
| Custom commands & timers | Yes, with variables, cooldowns and a visual command builder. | Yes, with variables and timers. |
| Game stats in chat | Built in: Valorant, Fortnite, Hypixel Bedwars, MCSR Ranked, Clash Royale. | Not built in; possible through custom API commands you wire yourself. |
| Channel Points actions | Built-in reward actions, including smart-light control. | Not a core feature. |
| Import from other bots | Wizard imports commands, timers, counters and quotes from Nightbot, StreamElements, Moobot and Streamlabs Chatbot. | No cross-bot import wizard. |
| Source code | Source-available on GitHub, auditable line by line. | Closed source. |
| Privacy | No third-party trackers, no data sold, chat not stored for resale. | See their privacy policy. |
Why streamers switch
- Song requests drive the real Spotify queue instead of a separate playlist player.
- Game stats answer in chat with zero custom API wiring.
- The import wizard moves a Nightbot setup over in minutes, and Nightbot keeps working while you test.
- Every current and future feature stays on the free tier.
Nightbot is a well-made bot and this table plays fair: it reflects publicly documented features as of September 2026. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
