Know a tool we’re missing? 🧩
This list keeps growing. If there’s an app, plugin, or asset pack you swear by that isn’t here yet, we’d love to hear about it.
How we pick what goes in the toolbox
There’s no single place that lists every plugin, app, and asset a VTuber might need the good stuff is scattered across itch.io, OBS forums, Booth, Discord servers, and word of mouth. This directory pulls all of that into one filterable list, split by what stage you’re at: whether you’re setting up your very first avatar or fine-tuning a professional setup.
What you’ll find sorted here:
- Avatar creation and rigging software, free and paid
- Face and body tracking tools
- Streaming software and OBS plugins
- Audio tools for cleaner mic quality
- Chat interaction plugins and overlay tools
Use the filter (All / Free / Freemium / Paid) to narrow the list down to your budget before you start comparing options.
