In their own words
Antidote
Antidote is a cloud-based UX and analytics platform for game studios managing playtesting and research during development. Teams can run their own tests, commission managed playtesting, or use market research services. Data capture includes surveys, gameplay and face recording, think-aloud comments, mobile screen touches, controller inputs, game events, and AFK detection. Analysis options include AI Insights, top moments, annotations, transcripts, survey and sentiment analysis, face emotion detection, automated reports, and data exports. Studios can recruit from Antidote’s community or invite their own players. Games can be delivered through Antidote, a developer download link, or Steam, Epic, Google Play, and App Store launchers. Native support covers PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and browser games; console testing is possible by arrangement. Plans include a free Indie option with restrictions, pay-as-you-go from $25 per user, Starter at $115 per month per game, and Master at $475 per month per game. The company describes security measures including NDAs, controlled launches, watermarking, and encryption.
PlayProbe
PlayProbe provides link-based playtesting for indie games, collecting survey responses, screen recordings, and optional Unity telemetry in a dashboard. Developers link to builds hosted elsewhere or embed WebGL builds in a session page; PlayProbe does not host game builds. Testers can open a session link without an account, and surveys run in a browser. Pre- and post-play surveys support ratings, multiple choice, emoji scales, and open text. The dashboard groups responses by rating distribution, text response, and question. Builds can be linked from itch.io, Steam Playtest, or any download URL. The Pro Unity SDK can log custom events, track FPS, catch crashes, and trigger surveys during play. Pro recordings capture the tester’s whole screen, are visible only to the developer, and are retained for 30 days. Supported builds include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and WebGL; consoles are not supported. Free costs nothing for one game, three tests, and 20 sessions per test. Pro costs $19 a month and includes unlimited games and tests, up to 200 sessions per test, screen recording, and Unity SDK access.
