What TierContest is
TierContest is a web tool for running live tier-list rankings with a stream audience. Creators can make a list using a drag-and-drop editor or a template, then reuse it across streams. Viewers vote by typing tier letters in chat and do not need a TierContest account or app. Voting works with Twitch and Kick; YouTube is not yet supported. Viewers who predict the creator’s placement earn points, and a leaderboard updates live. OBS and Streamlabs can display browser-source widgets for the current item, vote bars, timer, tier board, or leaderboard, or creators can capture the console window. To connect a channel, creators enter its name; TierContest says it reads public chat without OAuth or a bot. The Free plan costs $0 forever and allows up to 500 voters per session. Creator costs $12/month and supports up to 20,000 voters per session, with session analytics, recaps, and priority support.
