Game Tester vs Indieable

Game Tester is a testing and feedback platform for game developers, publishers, and production or QA managers. A self-service wizard helps configure customized tests, surveys, polls, and research from concept through launch. The developer page describes more than 400,000 authenticated gamers, with demographic filters for targeting. Test types include level, difficulty, multiplayer, gameplay, early access, market research, and player acquisition. Reports and feedback appear in real time as testers submit results. PC builds can be uploaded or shared by download link or platform key; iOS uses a public TestFlight link, and Android uses uploaded APK files. A REST API supports 20+ major game engines, with a Unity wrapper. Confidential tests require an NDA. Each test includes five questions; each additional 10 costs $1.50 per tester. New registrants can receive $100 credit valid for 90 days.

Indieable is a web service for indie game developers to recruit playtesters, distribute builds and keys, and collect structured feedback; players can use it to discover playtests. Developers can import a game's title, art, screenshots, and tags with a Steam or itch.io URL. The playtest flow covers signup, screening, approvals, key assignment, email invitations, rounds, feedback, and bug reports. Developers can maintain a playtest email list and send announcements, while wishlist and demo buttons can direct players to Steam or itch with clicks tracked by channel. Listed build options include Steam and itch keys, Drive and Dropbox links, S3 URLs, web builds, and custom HTTPS links. Free Forever costs nothing, needs no card, and has no time limit; it includes 100 announcement recipients per month. Indieable Pro costs $19.99 a month or $189.99 yearly. Pro includes 10 GB active hosted storage, revocable per-tester downloads, and up to 1,000 announcement recipients monthly. Hosted builds become unavailable at expiry or when Pro access ends, then are permanently deleted after the seven-day recovery window.
