    Bee Live — Go live. Get paid.

    01 — The challenge

    Live streaming apps live or die on two things: whether creators can earn enough to keep streaming, and whether the platform stays safe enough for app stores, advertisers and viewers. Manual moderation does not scale, and simple tipping does not build a creator economy.

    02 — What we built

    We designed a complete creator economy — hosts, agencies with commissions, gifts, fan clubs and competitive PK battles — and paired it with a viewer economy where watching videos and rewarded ads earns coins. AI detection flags nudity in real time so moderators only review what matters.

    03 — Inside the product

    Everything it does.

    Live rooms

    Real-time streams with comments, levels, follows and animated gifts.

    PK battles

    Two hosts go head to head; fans send gifts to push their host’s score before the timer runs out.

    Hosts & agencies

    Agencies recruit and manage hosts, with commission tracking and payouts built in.

    Monetisation

    Coins, diamonds, a wallet ledger and withdrawals so hosts can turn gifts into income.

    Fan clubs

    Members unlock badges and levels, giving hosts a loyal, paying community.

    Watch to earn

    Viewers earn coins by watching videos and completing daily tasks.

    AdMob rewarded ads

    Rewarded and in-feed ads add revenue without paywalls.

    AI nude content detection

    Streams are scanned automatically and unsafe content is flagged or blocked in real time.

    FAQ

    Live streaming app development — questions

    Straight answers about live streaming app development, based on building Bee Live.

    Can you build a live streaming app like Bigo Live?

    Yes. Bee Live is our own live streaming app with live rooms, gifting, PK battles, hosts and agencies, fan clubs and watch-to-earn rewards. We can build a similar app for your brand or customise one to your audience.

    How do live streaming apps make money?

    Mainly through virtual gifts that viewers buy with coins, agency and host commissions, rewarded and in-feed ads, VIP memberships and fan-club subscriptions. We design the economy so hosts earn enough to keep streaming.

    How do you keep live streams safe?

    We combine AI-based nude content detection that scans streams in real time with reporting, blocking and moderator dashboards, so unsafe content is flagged or stopped quickly.

    What technology do you use for live video?

    We use proven real-time video SDKs such as Agora for low-latency streams and PK battles, with Firebase for messaging and notifications and a scalable backend and admin panel.

    What is a PK battle?

    A PK battle is a timed head-to-head between two hosts where viewers send gifts to raise their host’s score. It is one of the strongest engagement and revenue features in live streaming apps.

    How long does it take to launch a streaming app?

    It depends on the feature set and platforms. After a free scoping call we give you a fixed quote and a phased timeline so you can launch a first version quickly and grow from there.
