CRYENGINE vs GameBench

CRYENGINE is a game engine for building projects targeting PC, consoles, mobile, web and VR. Its offering includes full source code, engine features and access to supported platforms. Developers can use C++, Lua or Schematyc visual scripting, along with multiplayer tools and mobile export. The Sandbox Editor creates worlds without baking and exports them as they appear in the editor. Rendering includes dynamic global illumination and a physically based rendering workflow; physics simulations account for physical properties. The engine also includes particle tools, animation systems and a physics solution for dynamic destruction. CRYENGINE can be used for free under royalty-based licensing: a 5% royalty applies when a project ships, while the first $5K in annual revenue per project is royalty-free. Documentation includes guides and tutorials, and community channels include Discord and GitHub. The maker was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany.

GameBench provides tools for measuring, analyzing and optimizing game performance. With GameBench Pro, users connect an Android or iOS device, choose a game, measure its performance and upload results to a dashboard. GameBench Injector adds instrumentation to APK or IPA builds without requiring developer code changes. Metrics include frame rate, CPU, GPU, memory, power, battery, network usage, screenshots and thermal throttling. The web dashboard stores and visualizes sessions, trends, apps, devices and collections for comparison. Its API supports token creation, session searches, session details and time-series metrics; Jira integration can create engineering tickets linked to sessions. Dashboard accounts support SSO and LDAP, and companies can require multi-factor authentication. Enterprise customers can run a private dashboard on their own infrastructure. The native SDK supports Android 5.0+, 64-bit iOS 10.0+ and tvOS 10.0+, for hardware platforms only. Pricing is on request, and a 28-day trial is listed. The trial includes 30 minutes of Pro testing, unlimited sessions and SDK sessions, full API access, and all metrics and analytics.
