What’s the Difference Between Twitch and Discord?

Twitch is a streaming service that enables people to live stream to others, especially broadcast video games the streamers are playing to their audience. Discord is an instant message app for gamers to communicate with each other.

Streamers can also use Twitch to chat with their subscribers while gamers are also able to share screen or video (assisted by partnered video capture programs) on Discord for real-time.

If you’d like to earn money from your live gaming streams, Twitch is a better choice. You can add affiliate links to game streaming or other products for your fans to purchase from, which will bring you a commission for each deal. On the other hand, you can receive merchandise and gaming accessories from sponsors freely or by selling their customized merchandise. Or, you can receive money from the old donation option to continue your streaming.

While Discord has no such way for gamers to make money. Yet, people who love your server can pay to boost your server and bring you and your server members with more perks like emojis, stickers, and high audio and streaming quality.
