Step 1 of 3
Payment and the viewer
On Donator a viewer sends a donation with any bank card, Georgian or foreign, with no registration and no app. That lowers the barrier, so supporters abroad and the Georgian diaspora can donate just as easily.
DonationAlerts is built for other markets and often needs a foreign wallet, which adds steps and currency conversion for a Georgian viewer.
Payout and currency
Donator pays out directly to a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL, with no conversion. A tool built for another market often routes money through a foreign wallet and does not pay out straight to a Georgian bank in GEL.
Signing up on Donator is free, and you need no card to start.
Language and alerts
Donator is Georgian-language-first and trilingual, Georgian, English, and Russian, so the product speaks to a Georgian audience in its own language, unlike tools that are not localized for Georgian.
The on-stream alert appears through OBS Browser Source in real time with the donor name and message, with no extra software to install.
DonationAlerts, Streamlabs, and other tools: what changes in Georgia
Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.
In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.
Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
