GameBench vs Poki Playtesting

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.

Poki Playtesting is a free web service for game developer teams that want player feedback, bug findings, and design checks. Poki supplies players, devices, and tracking tools, while developers choose test devices and audience categories. Uploaded web builds or prototypes can come from any development stage, subject to content moderation; Poki recommends builds that work on desktop, mobile, and tablet. Each playtest returns 10 recordings containing button inputs, console output, session duration, country, and device type. Players join through a Mystery Tile and must consent to recording. After 10 recordings are watched, a player fit test can measure playtime with 500 players, usually in about five hours and up to twice daily. A web fit test presents the game on Poki category pages to around 10,000 players and measures click-through rate, average time on page, and conversion to play over roughly seven days. Poki for Developers provides upload, analysis, updating, and recording review tools. Supported workflows cover engines including Unity, Godot, Phaser, GameMaker, and others. Tests are free and repeatable, but uploading does not guarantee testing or platform placement.
