GamersVault vs MetaGamerScore

GamersVault is a free web service for recording game progress, discovering titles, and following other players. Users can mark games as started, finished, or dropped, attach dates and half-star ratings, and record replays. A month-by-month diary can be kept public or private. Following friends shows their logs and reviews as they appear. Steam syncing imports owned games, playtime, and wishlists, while the catalog contains 272.0K+ games and tracks titles across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Catalog data syncs automatically from IGDB and Steam. The Free plan costs nothing, billed Free forever, with no credit card, premium tiers, hidden costs, or ads. Progress analytics and social comparison are listed. Its achievement system is marked Coming Soon, describing planned badges, leaderboards, notifications, custom goals, and rewards. The service says it does not sell personal data. Users must be at least 13, and accounts inactive for more than two years may be deleted.

MetaGamerScore is a free web service that combines gaming achievements from multiple platforms into a persistent metascore. It automatically values achievements by rarity, while game and achievement values are adjusted for popularity and rarity. The service says it supports 30 platforms and game services and retains history from 8 retired integrations. Its listed services include Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, GOG, RetroAchievements, and Roblox. Users can compare games and achievements with friends, compete in global, country, yearly, crew, completist, and world-first rankings, form crews, challenge friends, and share achievement guides. It requires no client installation. The FAQ says the service does not ask for gaming passwords and collects only data available without them. When possible, it preserves linked accounts and achievement history after an integration shuts down, a practice it says dates to its 2011 launch. The service is not open source. It is free to use, with optional monthly Patreon pledges for perks such as more frequent achievement scans, ad removal, custom profile and crew URLs, and extra crew slots. Patron perks are added manually after a pledge goes through.
