These are the three most-used Discord bots whose own sites present alerts from other platforms as a main feature, ranked by the server counts they publish. All three are all-in-one bots, and each has a one-on-one page of its own. Everything this page says about them comes from their own websites and docs.
MEE6
MEE6 follows the widest range of sources of the three. MEE6 covers Twitch, YouTube, X, Reddit, Instagram and RSS feeds, with Kick, TikTok and Bluesky in beta and podcasts too. Twitch alerts can refresh while the stream runs and remove themselves when it ends, and Live Roles mark members while they stream on Twitch. Each alert's text is yours to edit, and it is set up on the MEE6 dashboard. MEE6's Free vs Premium table puts Twitch, YouTube, X, RSS and the other sources it lists on Premium.
Best if you want X, Instagram or TikTok posts in Discord and already pay for MEE6.
Carl-bot
Carl-bot posts Twitch live alerts and YouTube uploads, with a message format per streamer or channel, and it also announces free games on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG and other stores. You set alerts up with slash commands or on its dashboard. Twitch and YouTube alerts are on its free tier, and Premium follows more channels.
Best if you want Twitch and YouTube alerts on a free plan from a bot you may already run.
Dyno
Dyno's docs have a Social Feeds group of modules. Dyno's group covers Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok and Reddit. YouTube alerts cover live streams as well as new videos and Shorts, each alert's message takes variables and an embed, and Reddit posts can be filtered by flair. The social modules are part of Dyno's Premium plan.
Best if you want YouTube live and Shorts alerts or TikTok, and Dyno already runs your server.
Social Feeds, built into YourBot
Social Feeds is one of YourBot's ten core services, and every feature below is free on the shared bot. It posts Twitch live alerts that refresh in place while the stream runs, YouTube uploads, subreddits and Reddit searches, any RSS or Atom feed, Bluesky posts, GitHub releases, Steam news, status pages and game patch notes, with a catalog of 98 ready-made feeds. Each feed's message is yours, with twelve placeholders and an embed editor, and can ping the roles you pick. Keyword filters decide what posts, a feed can post under its own name and avatar through a webhook, and when a stream ends the alert can stay, show how it went, go away or give way to a short offline note. A role can mark members while their stream is live. It has no X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or Kick feeds. YouTube alerts cover uploads only, and everything is set on the web dashboard.
Best if you want Twitch, YouTube, Reddit and RSS alerts with filters free, in the same bot as moderation, tickets and the other services.
