Streamlabs Arvostelua 

Stealing website content from lightstream, monetizing open source code from OBS

Stealing open source project left and right

Today I learnt that Streamlabs are not the same people who made OBS, they just mimic their brand and I can see that there are many many people who were also fooled by them. Their business is parasitic in nature because they make money by exploiting open source community. What a scam.

Disgusting company that stole OBS and many other ideas/apps. These people have no shame and are a cancer to the scene. No clue how they didn't get called out sooner. The sooner they go out of business, the better.

thieves JUST USE OBS NOT THIS COMPANY WHO STOLE FROM OBS

Company stealing and copying another! Terrible company. What trash you guys are!

This company is literal garbage, support OBS, not Streamlabs!

Don't spend your money on these thieves
They literally forked from OBS Studio and sell it for a profit, Selling Open Source software for money, so save yourself the waste of money and install the Free Open Source software its based on called OBS

Don't use this absolute waste of a program, Use OBS instead, this trash company runs 100% off of stealing from other companies and screwing over their users with forcing payment for the exact same stuff OBS provides for free. BOYCOT THIS TERRIBLE COMPANY

Used both OBS and Streamlabs OBS, and Streamlabs has bloated and slowed down what was great open source streaming software in OBS. The company is predatory and vile, taking advantage of OBS code base and showing themselves to be openly hostile. Truly a waste of time to even consider using the Streamlabs branded fork of the OBS software.

Klaut produkte von anderen firmen und tut so als wären sie von ihnen. Ausserdem muss man wenn man ein abo kündigen will sich durch 5000 fenster klicken 5 mal bestätigen das man es auch wirklich will und der Abo kündigen button wurde sogar noch versucht so sehr wie möglich zu verstecken und wenn mans dann mal so weit geschafft hat muss man hoffen das kein technischer fehler kommt wenn man sein Abo kündigt absolute Frechheit

SL plagiarizes and steals content from hardworking individuals and companies. Never trust them, never use their products. They have probably stolen it from someone.

I’m upset I had to give them a star because they don’t deserve it. My 9 year old son mistakenly subscribed for a year through PayPal. I contacted PayPal hours after and explained what happened and they refused to refund me. I contacted Streamlabs and explained what happened, and they said PayPal had placed a hold on the transaction and there was nothing they could do. I asked if they could refund me directly and they said they couldn’t. They then told me that they had deleted my son’s account because he was underage and needed a parents permission. Since I couldn’t get back my money I told them I had given permission so they could restore his account. Then then said he had to be thirteen to get a parents permission.
I’m reading these reviews and getting angry again because this sort of behavior seems to be a norm for them.

After signing up for streamlabs monthly payments last year and being shocked to find they took an annual fee instead, I requested to cancel and get a refund immediately. Of course streamlabs refused to refund me even though I had signed up for monthly payments after a whole back and forth I was advised there was nothing else they could do but they had cancelled the reoccurring subscription and that I wouldn't be charged again. After this I put streamlabs down and never used it again.

Roll on a year and to my shock $150 has been taken from my account AGAIN and trying to speak to customer services is like speaking to an automated bot. I don't think a single person has read my email chain and I just keep getting copy and pasted responses back and still no refund even though I was lucky enough to catch and respond within the hour of payment being taken.

My advice to everyone, avoid streamlabs and NEVER give them your bank details.

After 45 days of waiting and lots of back and forth I finally won my case with Paypal. Do not give up and keep calling them on the phone and explaining the situation - This company is absolutely ripping people off by stealing a yearly sub.

Prime ist viel zu teuer und free gibt es keine Alerts, keine empfehlung um mit dem streamen anzufangen.
Zu teuer, free gibt es nichts.

A couple nights ago, I went to do a live stream and realized that my SL Prime had not renewed because I had recently made changes to my bank information. So after I was done with my stream around 11pm, I went to renew a MONTHLY subscription.
On this page, I was fully under the assumption that I was selecting a monthly rate so I submitted my payment info. I then shut down the computer and went into my living room. About 50 minutes later while on my phone, much to my horror I realized that I made a terrible mistake and selected the annual subscription. Total accident by the way!
I was honestly kind of bent because the resub page looked pretty clear that I was signing up for monthly service, but no. At this point I immediately took action and I submitted a refund request ticket as well as shooting off an email explaining the situation, because God forbid there is a phone number that I can call. About 20 minutes later I get an automated email saying that I needed to cancel my subscription as well as I would have had to have not used any Prime features during that time which I hadn't since I had submitted this payment after I was done streaming.
I went ahead and cancelled the service immediately upon receiving this email and I was feeling fairly confident that a refund wasn't out of the question because I had still submitted the ticket and sent an initial email within the first hour. I really want to emphasize that all of this took place within 90 minutes of submitting my initial payment. So I prayed and went to bed.
Yesterday morning I wake up to an extremely generic email telling me I was not getting a refund simply because I had not cancelled within the first hour, even though I had taken other actions in that first hour to remedy this situation. It was at this time that I requested to speak with someone else and specifically I wanted a phone number to establish contact with the company because this had to be the most outrageous thing I've ever heard.
Let's think about this for a second, there are mattress companies that will send you a bed to sleep on for 90 days and if you send it back on the 89th day, they'll give you a refund for a slept on bed. But I can't have my subscription changed to monthly and be refunded the difference? Hello?
As of today, I am still being denied a refund. I am also being denied the ability to speak with anyone other than my not-so empathetic or friendly email representative.
I'm at a dead end of nothing but bitter acceptance at this point and I could not be more disappointed.
Nothing like being charged 150 dollars when you think you're being charged 20 right before Christmas.
Also today I began doing research on Streamlabs and their policies and I started looking into other customer reviews and very quickly realized that I am not alone. Far from it, actually. Loads of people have made the same mistake that I have and for one sorry excuse or another, Streamlabs denied their refunds as well. All because "our policies are clear"... that is the best reason they have. If I have to hear or read that sad excuse one more time, I'm going to freak. Everyone's situation is different, yet they're using some broad, totalitarian rule to desperately hold onto everyone's money.
I find this to be extremely troubling. I realize that I was the one that made the mistake and shame on me, but unlike some others I did take action within the first hour even though it wasn't the "correct" action. I will never recommend Streamlabs to anyone and I will make sure I share this story on every platform I can find.

Hi so i hate to do this but i call bull crap on the way they still your money... so i payed for a year of steamlabs to try it out right and I played with it and it was ok that's why I'm not giving them 1 star.. but they never update you on your next year subscription to see if you still want it or not.. they just take your money and that's it. oh and don't get me started on the 1 hour bull crap they never say anything about your paying the reason I found out i payed is because of PayPal updated me... and the 5th is when they stole my money I found out on the 7th so they was so fxxx way I could get my money back because they never told me.. never do the year thing just do monthly because they never tell you anything. I'm so upset...

After signing up for a single month, I was billed for the two following months with zero notice or receipt, only seeing the charge on my credit account a couple months in. Their website makes it annoyingly difficult to cancel your subscription, so I believe this is by design. It's legal, sure, but it's wrong. I'll be going with a more ethical company next time.

The service itself was good. Confusing to make work, but that could have easily been user error since I was new to things.

BAD VERY bad, stay away from STREAMLAB.com . NOT RECOMMENDED.
