Etournity vs Skillz

Etournity is a free, open-source web platform for running online tournaments. Organizers use its Host Hub for tournament control, player management, bracket generation, and player-support tools. The Match Lobby guides players through a check-in timer, lobby-code exchange, and score submission with automatic comparison. Players can send issues to the organizer and moderator dashboard, while tournament information stays together on the platform rather than across spreadsheets. The service provides bracket-based competition and currently lists Brawlhalla 1v1 single-elimination tournaments as its supported format. Players are guided through the event in one place, with dark mode available. Tournament listings include an All Tournaments view and a Create option. Sign-in is available through Discord, and Discord login is required to create a tournament. Etournity is labeled a public alpha, so features may be unpolished or break. The team invites feedback through Discord and says new features follow user feedback.

Skillz is a multiplayer tournament platform for mobile games where players compete for cash or virtual in-game currencies. Its formats include head-to-head matches, tournaments, brackets, and leaderboards. Skillz says its system matches players of similar skill levels to support fair opportunities. Players can join for free, enter free tournaments, or join cash tournaments starting at $0.60. Cash competitions are restricted to people aged 18 or older in regions where cash play is enabled. Skillz also serves independent game developers seeking to add social competition to their games. The developer SDK supports Unity, native iOS, and Android integrations, including direct Apple and Google API integrations; Unity SDK APIs can also support browser games hosted on Skillz. SIDEkick lets developers test supported integration workflows in the Unity editor without connecting to Skillz servers. Current requirements list Unity 2021.3 or 2022.3 LTS, iOS 14 or later, and Android API level 24 or later. Some features are unavailable on web, including brackets, real-time tournaments, chat, progressive leagues, and some payment methods.
