In their own words
Indieable
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.
PlayProbe
PlayProbe provides link-based playtesting for indie games, collecting survey responses, screen recordings, and optional Unity telemetry in a dashboard. Developers link to builds hosted elsewhere or embed WebGL builds in a session page; PlayProbe does not host game builds. Testers can open a session link without an account, and surveys run in a browser. Pre- and post-play surveys support ratings, multiple choice, emoji scales, and open text. The dashboard groups responses by rating distribution, text response, and question. Builds can be linked from itch.io, Steam Playtest, or any download URL. The Pro Unity SDK can log custom events, track FPS, catch crashes, and trigger surveys during play. Pro recordings capture the tester’s whole screen, are visible only to the developer, and are retained for 30 days. Supported builds include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and WebGL; consoles are not supported. Free costs nothing for one game, three tests, and 20 sessions per test. Pro costs $19 a month and includes unlimited games and tests, up to 200 sessions per test, screen recording, and Unity SDK access.
