Where Livecade wins
Both formats, one overlay
In 10 Livecade games you play on screen with mouse or keyboard while your chat helps or sabotages you, as in 1000 Stairs, Voxel Craft or Fruit Slice. In the rest, from quiz and word games to arena battles, your viewers are the players and you host. You switch between them mid-stream without touching OBS or dropping your TikTok connection.
Viewers play without sending a gift
Every Livecade game can bind comments, likes, follows, shares and joins as well as gifts, so viewers who never send a gift still take part. The quiz and word games are played by typing in chat.
Every free game, every day
The Livecade free plan includes all 32 free games with up to 60 minutes of live time a day. ScrollPlay's free plan has 3 games with no stated time limit, so the better free plan depends on whether you want more games or longer streams.

Frequently asked questions
In Livecade, do I play the game or does my chat?
Both, depending on the game. In 10 games, such as 1000 Stairs, Voxel Craft, Fruit Slice and Window Wipe, you play on screen with your mouse or keyboard and your chat helps or sabotages you. In the quiz, word, racing and battle games your viewers are the players and you host: you read answers, react to the leaderboard and commentate.
Is ScrollPlay cheaper than Livecade?
ScrollPlay lists Play Pass at $9.99 a month and Play Pass Pro at $29.99 a month. Livecade Pro is $12.99 a month, or $9.61 a month billed yearly. Both have a free plan: ScrollPlay's has 3 games, Livecade's has all 32 free games with up to 60 minutes of live time a day.
Can using Livecade or ScrollPlay get my TikTok LIVE restricted?
The same rules apply to both. Each reads your public LIVE by username, and neither is affiliated with TikTok. TikTok allows third-party tools on LIVE. What it restricts is how a stream comes across, such as a game left running with nobody there, or repeated, mechanical requests for gifts. Stay on camera, talk to your chat, and pause the LIVE when you step away.
Can I run Livecade from my phone?
Yes. You can go live with TikTok’s Mobile gaming source and run Livecade from your phone browser, with no PC and no OBS. The games you play yourself with a mouse or keyboard need a computer.
