KickInsights is a free Chrome extension designed to provide real-time estimates of viewer counts on Kick.com by analyzing chat activity. This tool addresses the issue of inflated viewer counts reported by Kick, which can misrepresent the actual audience size for streamers. By capturing chat messages through WebSocket, KickInsights offers an independent estimate based on unique chatters and a participation rate model, displaying results as a range alongside the official viewer count.

Key features include a draggable overlay graph for comparing Kick's numbers with estimated counts, a dashboard for real-time stats, and a census mode that allows streamers to verify their viewer counts through chat interaction. Users can customize settings such as participation rates and rolling window sizes, ensuring a tailored experience. With a focus on privacy, all data remains local, making it a reliable tool for streamers seeking accurate viewer metrics.
