When streaming simultaneously on YouTube, TikTok LIVE, and Kick, a streamer has to launch three separate apps to follow their stream and gets three numbers that cannot be compared at all. Each platform calculates the number of viewers by its own algorithm, while statistics available within the application provide information about your own channel only. Let’s see what sources help to unite this data and what their limitations are.
Streams Charts: The Whole Streaming Market in One Window
Built-in platform dashboards are good for the streamer, but a brand, agency, or manager needs to compare dozens of external channels across several platforms at once.
Specifically for this task, Streams Charts was created, accumulating over five years of data across 10+ platforms and over 63 million channels. For YouTube and Kick, peak and average online viewers, hours watched, and filters by country, gender, and language are available, while results can be exported to CSV or PNG. TikTok LIVE is also covered: the service publishes a platform overview, game statistics, and analytics for it, and for major events the team combines TikTok, YouTube, and Kick audiences into a single report.
Pricing starts with the Streamer plan from $9 per channel, which includes email reports, while chat analytics is a separate add-on at $19 per month per channel. A PRO subscription from $100 per month unlocks statistics for all channels, while data can be integrated into your own dashboard via API v2, with Twitch, YouTube, and Kick metrics aligned under a single data model. API v2 is billed in credits per request, starting at $199 per month for 500 credits.
YouTube Studio: The Deepest Data, but Only for YouTube
In the Live Control Room during the broadcast, one can see the number of concurrent viewers, rate of chat messages, views, and watch time. A few minutes after the end of the stream, YouTube Analytics will give you a report with peak and average online viewers as well as chat messages. For general analytics of your channel, there is an option to choose from the filters between live stream, video, or both, which is helpful when your broadcasts still get views even after completion.
All of this is enough for just one channel, but comparison with your competitors or anything else that happened on Kick is not possible here.
TikTok LIVE Center: Analytics That Lives on Your Phone
It should be noted that TikTok itself is a mobile application, and the statistics of live streams are stored in the same application; specifically, through the LIVE tab in the analytics area, one can access the LIVE Center. View counts, peak views, unique views, gained followers, and diamonds earned are displayed in the LIVE Center. What is good about the number of followers gained is that it demonstrates how many viewers became regular viewers after being attracted to the stream.
What is not convenient is that all these metrics are contained within the TikTok application. Not even the most popular multi-streaming applications use the statistics of TikTok LIVE streams.
Kick Creator Dashboard: Promising, but Still Gated
Kick's native analytics appeared later than those of its competitors. In July 2026, the platform opened a Streams Overview section in the Creator Dashboard featuring peak and average online viewers alongside session data; however, access is currently restricted to verified streamers, and it must be viewed from a computer. Kick explicitly states that this is only the second part of their analytics, with new metrics still ahead. Therefore, for brands seeking to evaluate a Kick channel prior to signing an agreement, built-in statistics will not help, as only the streamer can see them.
Restream Analytics: One Dashboard With a TikTok-Shaped Hole
Restream addresses the task from the multistreaming angle: the broadcast goes to several platforms at once, while Analytics shows average and maximum online viewers, chat messages, and watched minutes in one window. A unified chat is also available here, gathering messages from all platforms in a single place. Full analytics is available only on a paid plan and works solely for channels connected via API rather than user RTMP.
Nuances begin with platform support. According to Restream itself, online viewers, chat, and views are collected for YouTube; only online viewers and chat for Kick; and none of these metrics for TikTok LIVE. Thus, the “single dashboard” for our trio actually covers only two platforms.
Who Sees What: A Quick Comparison
| Tool | YouTube | TikTok LIVE | Kick | Channels covered |
| Streams Charts | Yes | Platform and event data | Yes | Any channel |
| YouTube Studio | Yes | No | No | Your own |
| TikTok LIVE Center | No | Yes | No | Your own |
| Kick Creator Dashboard | No | No | Yes | Your own, verified only |
| Restream Analytics | Yes | No | Partial | Your own |
When combining figures from different sources, keep several rules in mind:
- Average online viewers are better suited for comparing platforms, since the peak depends on a single lucky moment, like a raid or viral clip;
- “Views” on YouTube and unique viewers on TikTok are different metrics and cannot be added together;
- Data in third-party services may slightly differ from the platform's own figures, which even Restream acknowledges;
- View inflation should not be forgotten: on the main page of Streams Charts there is a free whitepaper on how fake viewers distort campaign results on Twitch, Kick, YouTube Live, and TikTok Live.
One Dashboard Is a Myth, but Two Are Enough
There is no such perfect tool that provides equal insights into YouTube, TikTok LIVE, and Kick, but we can create the necessary workflow. In the case of a streamer, platform-native statistics along with multistreaming services are enough, with the exception of having to review TikTok LIVE Center independently. But for brands and agencies who want to compare third-party channels, having independent data with uniform measurement methods is much more practical.
