The Strength of BetterTTV : Emotes
The heart of BetterTTV is emotes. The extension allows custom images to be displayed in chat that would normally only be visible as text. It also allows you to hide certain elements of the Twitch interface.
The Strength of StreamPulse : Automation
StreamPulse focuses on automation and live monitoring : automatic channel points collection, Twitch Drops claiming, desktop live alerts, and Twitch player error auto-refresh (Error 2000 & 3000).
Can You Use Them Together?
Absolutely. This is the configuration recommended by most experienced Twitch users.
Keep BetterTTV to see chat emotes, and install StreamPulse to manage automation in the background. Both extensions are lightweight and run with zero technical conflicts.
