Is Mixer Pro worth it?

Best answer: It could be worth subscribing to Mixer Pro if you’re a streamer looking to quickly unlock some features that use the platform’s currency, Sparks. If you just watch other people play, you’re not going to get much utility from the service, and there are better ways to support your favorite channels directly.

What do streamers get from Mixer Pro?

If you’re just starting out on Mixer and are looking to build an audience with some fun content and features, you might want to invest in Mixer Pro to speed up your progress. Mixer uses a free currency called Sparks to unlock several key features. For instance, you need 5,000 Sparks to create a team, which can be used to play with other streamers, or to found a network. You also need Sparks to enable interactive games that give your viewers a novel way to participate in your stream.

Everyone earns 50 Sparks when they spend 50 minutes streaming or watching other streams. If you have a Mixer Pro subscription, that number is doubled. That means you’ll be able to rack up the Sparks you need faster and can start taking advantage of those added features. You’ll also get early access to new features before they’re released to the general public so you can get acquainted with them and find fun ways to use them on your stream.

What do viewers get from Mixer Pro?

If you’re not streaming yourself, you can use those double Sparks from watching streams to unlock chat skills that let you use GIFs or stickers, which are like oversized emojis. Spend Sparks on the streams you like the best, and you can help the streamers rack up Embers, Mixer’s paid currency.

However, the best way to directly support the people you love to watch is by subscribing to their channels, which costs $5/month. You’ll then earn 200 Sparks for every 50 minutes you spend watching their stream. You can earn 250 Sparks for 50 minutes when you’re watching a stream to which you subscibe, and you have Mixer Pro, but the most significant increase is coming from that subscription. Twitch’s premium service, Twitch Prime, includes a channel subscription every month, and Mixer Pro would be a lot more useful for fans if it did the same thing.

Pro members get a special chat highlights which could help you get noticed. The other big perk is that you won’t have to see ads. But advertising on Mixer is pretty inconspicuous to begin with. Ads don’t always pop up when you start a video, and when they do, they tend max at about 30 seconds. You also don’t see ads on the channels you subscribe to, a mark in favor of skipping Mixer Pro unless you’re a regular viewer who watches a lot of different streamers.
