For streamers in Kenya
Viewers tip with M-Pesa. Your stream says their name.
A viewer taps your pay link and gets a prompt on their phone. A few seconds after they pay, their name, message and sound play on your stream. The money goes to your own M-Pesa wallet, not to us.
Works with OBS and TikTok LIVE Studio. No paybill number. No card needed by viewers.

How it goes
-
01
You share one link
tuza.stream/yourname, plus a QR code for the corner of your overlay. Viewers pick an amount: 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, or type their own. -
02
They pay on their phone
The M-Pesa prompt arrives on the number they typed. They confirm with their PIN. No shortcode to copy, no screenshot sent as proof.
-
03
The stream reacts
The overlay plays the sound and the animation, and the voice reads the name and message out loud. Alerts queue up instead of landing on top of each other.
The money, plainly
Most tip tools show the cut on payout day. Here is the whole sum for a KES 100 tip on the free plan.
| Viewer sends | 100.00 |
|---|---|
| Mobile money fee, 1.5% | -1.50 |
| Tuza fee, free plan 5% | -5.00 |
| Your balance grows by | 93.50 |
| Later, payout to your wallet | 20.00 flat |
That flat payout fee is why balances are batched. Weekly payouts, or on request once you reach KES 1,500, so one transfer carries many tips instead of one transfer eating a single tip. Pro drops the Tuza fee to 1%. Pro+ drops it to zero.
What you actually get
- Alerts
- Sound, animation and a line of text, matched to the amount. KES 20 is a mandazi. KES 200 is nyama choma. KES 1,000 is mshiko rain.
- Sounds
- Kenyan packs: matatu horn, wueh, a choir sting, Benga and Gengetone riffs. Recorded or licensed for Tuza, so a muted stream is not your problem.
- Voice
- Swahili, Sheng and English text to speech that reads the message. A Sheng-aware filter catches words English filters miss.
- Requests
- Viewers pay to ask for a song. The request joins your queue, the overlay shows what is next, and you can skip what you do not want to play.
- Goals
- A harambee bar for something real: a mic, a trip, a family fundraiser. It moves as tips come in.
- Earnings
- Tips, fees and payout status per stream. Plain numbers, no guessing what cleared.

Questions people ask
Do I need my own paybill or till number?
No. Tuza collects through Paystack, a licensed payment service provider, so you can start with just your phone number.
Where does the money sit before payout?
With the payment provider, never with Tuza. We keep the ledger that records what you earned. The provider holds and settles the funds.
How fast is the alert, and how fast is the cash?
The alert lands within seconds of the payment being confirmed. The cash reaches your wallet in up to two working days. Two different clocks, and we say so up front.
Does Tuza replace OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio?
No. You keep streaming as you do now. Tuza is a browser source you add to your scene, or phone mode if you stream from a phone.
What if a viewer sends a message I do not want read out?
Messages pass a filter before the voice reads them, and you can mute, skip or block a supporter. Nothing gets read live without that check.
Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda?
Kenya first, M-Pesa and Airtel Money. The gateway layer is built so a second provider can cover the neighbours without changing how you stream.
Early access, by hand
The first group is small on purpose. Send your handle, what you stream and roughly how often. We will set up your pay link and sit with you through the first real tip.
