I generally see people say that OBS uses 10-15% less RAM to run.

OBS is more reliable, uses far few resources to run, and crashes less. You could use either one: SLOBS’ design is a little more “beginner friendly” but it also bogs your PC down and chew up a lot of memory/RAM to run. Stream Labs “adopted” OBS’ source code, and added a lot of bells and whistles (and monetized options) to create SLOBS. It’s a tool that you have to create onto (adding scenes, sources & plugins), and then you need to take that canvas to a gallery to be seen (connecting it to a streaming platform like twitch or youtube). It’s important to understand: OBS is like the blank canvas for an artist. OBS stands for “Open Broadcasting Software” and it’s a free, open source program that anyone can use to broadcast content on streaming platforms, or record video productions to their computers.
