Is AlertForge a replacement for Pika?

That depends on what you use Pika for. AlertForge creates stream graphics and animations. It does not replace your broadcasting software or the alert widget that connects to your streaming platform.

Can Pika produce transparent video for OBS?

Pika's supported output depends on that product. AlertForge exports transparent WebM with VP9 alpha for an OBS Media Source or custom-media alert widget.

How do AlertForge alerts trigger on stream?

Upload an AlertForge WebM to the platform-connected alert widget you already use, which handles follower, subscriber, donation, or raid events.
