In their own words
G.Round
G.ROUND is a game playtesting and marketing platform for studios and publishers. Open Public Tests let a global audience play unreleased games and submit reviews and surveys. Focus Group Tests target selected player demographics in controlled sessions, with a real-time dashboard for behavior, progress, and feedback. Its launcher encrypts builds and restricts unauthorized access; private tests also use tester NDAs and record gameplay video and audio for feedback and security monitoring. Competitive Beta Tests use tournament formats and groups of 1,000 to 10,000 users for community building and final gameplay and technical checks. Launch Marketing packages may include media and PR, influencer marketing, gameplay content, early reviews, and G.ROUND exposure. The site says its gamer community spans 250 regions. Players access games through Steam keys or the G.ROUND Launcher. Tester information describes upcoming, unreleased PC and console titles, while mobile testing is not currently supported for players. Pricing includes one-time tests and an annual G-Pass plan.
Go Testify
Go Testify helps game teams recruit players, run playtests, and review feedback. Sessions can capture video, audio, and survey responses. Teams can recruit participants themselves or use the platform’s gaming recruitment partners. Distribution options include Android, PC, Steam, VR, Browser, and App Store Link. For PC tests, Steam keys are distributed automatically; for Android tests, teams upload a development build during participant onboarding, and closing the test activates a kill switch. GT Intelligence analyzes footage for themes, sentiment, transcription, summaries, and related moments, with charges based on footage analyzed. Smart Search finds related player content using a reference screenshot or keywords, without technical integration. The free Essential plan costs nothing and includes one active project with unlimited playtests and insight reports within it; GT Intelligence costs $30 per hour of footage analyzed. Pro costs $30 a month, billed $250 per year, and includes unlimited projects and up to 10 live stream observers; its GT Intelligence rate is $15 per hour. Listed plans include live chat and email support.
