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.
