A Streamlabs tip page alternative for US creators

Searching for a Streamlabs alternative usually means one of two things: new broadcasting software, or a better tip page. DonoLink is the second. Keep Streamlabs Desktop or OBS for going live, and move your tip page and alerts to DonoLink, with tips paid out in dollars on your own Stripe account.

Not a broadcasting software swap

Streamlabs Desktop encodes and sends your stream; the Streamlabs tip page takes payments. DonoLink only replaces the tip page and its widgets, which you add as browser sources, so your scenes and settings stay as they are.

Fees, honestly

Streamlabs takes 0% on tips, which beats DonoLink's 3.5% on the headline number. The extras add up, though: a 0.5% withdrawal fee, 2% on currency conversion, $15 per chargeback, and Streamlabs Ultra at $15.75 to $27 a month if you want its add-ons.

With DonoLink, Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per card payment and DonoLink 3.5%, so a $10 tip leaves you $9.06, paid to your bank on your Stripe schedule.

Why streamers move their tips

What we hear most:

Tips on their own Stripe account instead of a third-party balance.
Apple Pay and Google Pay for viewers, next to cards, plus Amazon Pay once Stripe activates it.
A visual alert editor with an exact preview.
No $15 chargeback fee from the tip platform itself.

Switching takes one evening

Export your Streamlabs tip history and import it into DonoLink. Drop the DonoLink browser sources into your scenes, remove the old tip widgets and fire a test alert. Then update the link in your panels, chat commands and socials.
