The Streamlabs App Store is a library of third-party streaming apps built into Streamlabs Desktop—not Apple’s App Store, and not a universal marketplace for every streaming program. For YouTube creators, the best choice depends on the job you need done: improving scenes, giving chat something to do, automating event responses, tracking goals, or reviewing performance. Check each app’s current listing for YouTube compatibility, access requirements, setup, and support before installing it.
What the Streamlabs App Store offers
Streamlabs describes the App Store as a built-in library of third-party applications that add control, automation, analytics, and audience interaction to a stream. Streamlabs says it reviews apps before they become available. Its product page describes the collection as: “Add music, interactive experiences, custom visuals, automation, analytics, and more—all inside Streamlabs Desktop.” Streamlabs App Store
Rather than treating “best” as a single ranking, start with the task you want to solve. The official overview identifies several kinds of tools, but does not establish a stable, app-by-app ranking for YouTube creators.

How to decide whether a particular app is right for YouTube
Streamlabs’ overview establishes categories, not a permanent set of individual winners or a complete compatibility matrix. Use the current listing in Streamlabs Desktop to evaluate each candidate:
- Job: Does it solve the problem you actually have?
- YouTube compatibility: Does its listing explicitly support the YouTube events and workflow you plan to use?
- Access and cost: Is it free, or does it require Streamlabs Ultra? Check the current listing and Ultra terms.
- Setup: Does it install as an app, add a source to a scene, or require additional configuration? Follow that app’s instructions rather than assuming every installation works the same way.
- Maintenance and support: Check whether the listing identifies developer support and gives current setup guidance.
- Existing Streamlabs feature: Could a built-in widget already do the job?
Apps versus widgets: what’s the difference?
Apps are streaming tools made by third-party developers and reviewed by Streamlabs. Widgets are features designed by Streamlabs. Examples of widgets include Alert Box, Chat Box, Game Pulse, Polls, and Chat Highlight.

Are Streamlabs App Store apps free?
Some apps are free; Streamlabs names Sponsorships and Sidekick as examples. Streamlabs also says most apps are available exclusively to Ultra subscribers and that every App Store app is included with an Ultra subscription. Because catalog access and plan terms can change, verify the specific app’s listing and the current Ultra terms before subscribing. Streamlabs Ultra information
Streamlabs’ pages use both “dozens” and “60+ app add-ons,” but do not provide a clear publication year for those descriptions. They should not be treated as a verified current catalog count.
Can you use Streamlabs App Store apps in OBS?
Streamlabs says App Store apps are currently exclusive to Streamlabs Desktop. Widgets are a separate category: most can be used in Streamlabs Desktop and the Streamlabs OBS plugin. An app’s availability in the App Store therefore does not establish that it can be installed in OBS or another streaming program.
