EveryGameStat vs RetroAchievements

EveryGameStat combines playtime, achievements, and per-game statistics in a shareable player card. Its listed live platforms include Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Riot Games, Supercell, PUBG, Fortnite, and Battle.net. Public cards can display games, hours, achievements, linked platforms, most-played titles, and current activity. A searchable, sortable library gathers games across linked platforms with cover art and achievement progress. Where platform data is published, statistics can include kills, accuracy, ranks, decks, trophies, gamerscore, and trophy levels. Anyone can look up supported players by name or tag without an account; Clash Royale and Brawl Stars duels use official battle logs to keep score. EveryGameStat says it draws figures from official platform APIs and leaves fields blank when platforms do not provide data. Linking uses public identifiers or profile links, not passwords, and the service cannot change accounts, make purchases, or post for users. A free Windows Companion app measures Rocket League match results, Minecraft Java server statistics, and detected-game session times. The Companion is open source, reads game logs and process names, and is in alpha.

RetroAchievements adds achievement goals and progress tracking to retro games. Players can build profiles, follow completion, and compete with friends. Its game listings span systems from Atari 2600 to PlayStation 2 and include Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and other platforms. Supported emulator options include PCSX2, Dolphin, PPSSPP, Flycast, and BizHawk, with choices for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and browser-based SkyEmu.

Hardcore mode disables save-state loading, cheats, and most speed-altering emulator features. It is required for game mastery and some leaderboards. Community events include RA Roulette and Achievement of the Week, and developers can use public API documentation. Players can report broken achievements and request manual unlocks by providing proof of completion. The service is free. Its web application source code is GPL-3, while achievement trigger logic is proprietary to the RetroAchievements community. The service does not host copyright-protected ROMs. A player must be connected to the internet when starting a session, so fully offline play is not supported. System support and new features depend on volunteers.
