REXBOT VS STREAMLABS CLOUDBOT
Streamlabs Cloudbot is part of a larger Streamlabs ecosystem with its own desktop streaming app. Rex is a standalone bot that works with OBS or Lightstream. If you already live in Streamlabs, Cloudbot fits naturally. If you use OBS and want Twitch chat, Spotify requests and Discord from one place, Rex is the lighter option.
