In their own words
Snapser
Snapser is a backend platform for games and apps, built around modular services called Snaps. Listed Snaps cover authentication, analytics, chat, matchmaking, game server fleets, leaderboards, inventory, storage, and social features. Developers can package custom services written in any language as private Snaps using the Snapser CLI. The platform describes dedicated Kubernetes clusters with autoscaling, load balancing, and high availability, plus monitoring, logs, APIs, configuration, and operational tools for deployed backends. Its snapctl CLI can publish services and game servers and generate and download SDKs. Documented integrations and starter projects include Unity, Unreal Engine, Discord, Roblox, React, and React Native. Enterprise teams can host an instance in their own cloud provider account, such as AWS. The Premium plan is $4,999 a month per project plus usage, with production usage billed separately; it lists unlimited seats, 25 custom clusters, and a 99.98% production uptime guarantee. A Starter Tier trial lasts 14 days with no monthly platform fee during the trial.
Unity Version Control
Unity Version Control is an engine-agnostic source control tool for game development teams working with large files and binaries. It supports centralized and distributed workflows with branching and merging, as well as file-based workflows for artists. Smart Locks check that a user has the latest version before allowing a file lock, helping reduce merge conflicts. Teams can use Unity-hosted cloud servers or run the server on their own infrastructure. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Linux. Named integrations and supported tools include JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, Bamboo, Unreal Engine and Discord. The free tier is free and includes unlimited cloud seats, 25 GB storage per organization per month and 100 GB egress per month; usage beyond included limits is pay-as-you-go. Unity lists on-prem seats at $38 a month. Upload and download communications use SSL, and permissions can be set for repositories, branches and individual items.
