MetaGamerScore vs StreamTrackr

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.

StreamTrackr displays gaming achievements and trophies on a live stream through an OBS or Streamlabs browser-source overlay. It supports Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and RetroAchievements. The Free plan includes four platforms, eight languages, four basic themes, achievement tracking, a persistent link, cloud save, and OBS/Streamlabs integration. A free, open-source Windows Companion app detects Steam achievements almost instantly and can bypass delays from Steam API polling. Pro adds a customization studio for adjusting badges, bars, text, and images, with live preview and no CSS, plus custom themes and animations. It also includes Twitch and Discord integrations, stream stats and goals, session exports, public recap pages, and achievement alerts. Recaps show game cover art, a timestamped unlock timeline, unlock pace, and rarity highlights. Pro is listed at $2.99 a month; its billing terms also say then €2.99/month, with no commitment. The pricing page advertises a free first month requiring a credit card, cancellation anytime, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Pro’s stated 5–10 second polling depends on platform API responses and when games report unlocks; Steam may batch achievements and add minutes of delay.
