We Playtest Games
We Playtest Games connects indie game developers with playtesters to collect structured feedback on games. Testers are matched by the genres they play. Each playtest includes a gameplay recording with audio commentary and a summarized transcript covering issues, friction, confusion, or delight; subscription features also list AI-powered summaries and key takeaways. Developers can describe specific testing goals or provide a custom build. Multiplayer sessions can include up to eight players, and the service says a tester has 24 hours to deliver after claiming a playtest. The free option provides one 30-minute session, with the replay posted publicly to YouTube. Pay-as-you-go sessions start at $15, paid once, with duration and player count affecting price. Indie costs $79 a month for five playtest hours per billing period; Studio costs $379 a month for 25 hours. One playtest hour means one hour for one player, while unused subscription hours roll over and never expire, including after cancellation. The service runs on web and through a versioned REST API with API-key authentication, real-time webhooks, and TypeScript and Python clients.
